Towards sustainability? Sheep at work as they have been for thousands of years!

Forever beat the recession of the mind!

What is the direction of your developments when some older ways are still the best! 

The bleating of lambs on your front lawn and the pastoral community they create stirs the soul! 

Properly managed, sheep can give your 'yard' that close groomed look while paying their way. And, the numbers grow each spring! 

Put in a few wind towers that pay for themselves in six years. Duck pond with wildlife that can be harvested. 

Pheasant that can be harvested while being provided in specially nurtured valleys to Canadian and other wealthy hunters who will pay huge amounts to shoot them as a sport. 

Meadows and streams that can be left untouched through the years for small birds and creatures while cattle graze the edible grass. Gardens for vegetables and horses walking along tree lined pathways to provide amusement and exercise for better health.

Some images from the heritage Exeter / Crediton / Tiverton region in Devon? What are the challenges for Canadians to make the Ontario habitat sustainable.

The key is slowly developed local ownership of sustainable small scale energy and horticulture by Canadian farmers / horticulturists.  Why give this money maker away in an energy bubble?

Incidentally, the old barn in the last image with the ponies is to sustain bats and the Europeans are paying to keep it as is!

The energy is now farm and wind generated with a surplus revenue expected in six years. 

Not a model farm, but it is going in the right direction.

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
