Aside: ‘cotton batten’ rolls off my tongue, but my Canadian Oxford tells me that a more common North American version (especially outside Canada) is ‘cotton batting’.

Welcome!

My name is Janice.  I started blogging as Ontheland when I moved from Toronto to a rural area near Kingston, Ontario in Canada.  Over time I have found myself writing poetry, mostly in Japanese forms, such as haiku and haibun.  One of my deepest interests is the natural world: the joy of it and how we can look after it better.

Thank you for dropping by!
