Interest in Solid Dish Soap

I am trying to judge interest in adding solid paste dish soap to my offerings.   

By using a solid cake of dish soap with a dishwashing brush or sponge you can eliminate yet one more plastic bottle in your kitchen.    

If there is interest in this product I will order the supplies and offer them at the Christmas market, or by private order sooner.   

Please shoot an email to me at seaspray@telus.net if interested.

Thanks.

Thank You

A big giant thank you to our fire chief Jeanine Caldbeck and her wonderful group of volunteer fire workers as well as the Ambulance crew who helped me get to  the hospital twice after my accident in mid-august.

They truly went above and beyond, and it warms our heart to be in this wonderful caring community.

We can't thank you enough

Warmly,

Tess and Richard DeMarco

Scottish Country Dancing

Due to the new Covid protocols, the date for starting our dance sessions has been moved ahead until Monday, September 27th at 4 pm. Please be advised that proof of vaccination will be required and that masks must be worn when sitting out. I am looking forward to being able to get started again and hope that we will have some new people joining us. I will be sending out another notice closer to the time.

Fire Hazard Update

That huge deluge we were expecting this past weekend registered 5 mm, or 1/5th of an inch (0.2”) of moisture.  That wasn’t enough to move the fire hazard rating significantly.  Rain has to soak into the forest floor fuels as well as the soil.

We are hoping the trend to lighter winds, higher humidities and real rain keeps up but we are still holding in EXTREME.  

We really appreciate your patience and thank you for your understanding.  The fire chief also needs to chainsaw firewood, split and chip, and spread gravel on the driveway so totally understands your impatience to get the fall chores done.  But listening to the fire scanner of the departments in the Cowichan Valley, they are going out daily for human caused bush fires because their citizens aren’t understanding the fire hazard.  We aren’t out of the woods yet.  

Thank you all for keeping our island safe.

Fire Chief J. Caldbeck   TIVFD 

PS. Please check if you have a spark screen on your chimney if you are using your indoor wood stove.  And never burn cardboard or paper…the embers fly and drift out of the chimney easily.
