Beautiful Fall in Winnipeg
The word fall is now mostly a North American English word for the season. It traces its origins to old Germanic languages. The exact derivation is unclear, the Old English fiæll or feallan and the Old Norse fall all being possible candidates. However, these words all have the meaning "to fall from a height" and are clearly derived either from a common root or from each other. The term only came to denote the season in the 16th century, a contraction of Middle English expressions like "fall of the leaf" and "fall of the year".

I just want you to know who I am
GooGoo Dolls - Cit... |
And I’d give up forever to tutch you,
Cause I know that you feel me somehow.
You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be,
And I dont wanna go home right now.
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breath is your life
Well sooner or later it’s over
I just don’t whant to miss you tonight.
And I don’t whant the world to see me,
Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s ment to be broken
I just whant you to know who I am.
And you can’t fight the tears that aint coming
All the moments of truth in your lies.
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you’re alive.
And I don’t whant the world to see me,
Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s ment to be broken
I just whant you to know who I am.
And I don’t whant the world to see me,
Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s ment to be broken
I just whant you to know who I am.
I just whant you to know who I am

Strawberry Picking in Winnipeg,Canada
Do you know in Winnipeg Canada you can pluck your own Strawberries from the farm! It just costs 8CD$ per pail. With the fun you would get while plucking it’s really a good deal. Moreover while you are plucking you can eat as much as you want without paying anything for that.
In the U.S. strawberries typically peak during May in the South, and in June in the North. Crops are ready at various times of the month depending on which part of the state you are located. In order to produce good local strawberries, producers depend on ideal spring weather conditions.
Here are some sights in the strawberry farm located in St. Norbert Manitoba, Canada.

Loreena McKennitt-Mummers Dance
When in the springtime of the year
When the trees are crowned with leaves
When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew
Are dressed in ribbons fair
When owls call the breathless moon
In the blue veil of the night
The shadows of the trees appear
Amidst the lantern light
We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
we bring a garland gay
Who will go down to those shady groves
And summon the shadows there
And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
In the springtime of the year
The songs of birds seem to fill the wood
That when the fiddler plays
All their voices can be heard
Long past their woodland days
We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
we bring a garland gay
And so they linked their hands and danced
Round in circles and in rows
And so the journey of the night descends
When all the shades are gone
"A garland gay we bring you here
And at your door we stand
It is a sprout well budded out
The work of Our Lord's hand"
We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
we bring a garland gay

St. Norbert, Manitoba
Jump to: navigation, search
For other uses, see St. Norbert (disambiguation).
St. Norbert is a heavily bilingual (French and English) neighborhood in the southernmost part of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It began as a Métis settlement dating back to 1822. It was in St. Norbert, on October 19, 1869, that a public meeting was held at St. Norbert Roman Catholic Church. At that meeting, the Métis elected the Comite national des Métis with Louis Riel as secretary. The first act of the Committee was an erection of a barrier across the Pembina Trail to keep out unwanted emissaries of the Canadian Government.
The population is just over 5,000.
Located just south of the Perimeter Highway, St. Norbert is home to the ruins of a Trappist Monastery, Our Lady of the Prairies. It also hosts the St. Norbert Farmers' Market every summer, drawing large crowds from South Winnipeg. Other attractions include the St. Norbert Provincial Heritage Park, and the Red River Flood Gates
Today, St. Norbert is the southern gateway into the city of Winnipeg.

Conqueror Buddha
Siddhartha then made his way to a place near Bodh Gaya in India, where he found a suitable site for meditation. There he remained, emphasizing a meditation called "space-like concentration on the Dharmakaya" in which he focused single-pointedly on the ultimate nature of all phenomena.
After training in this meditation for six years he realized that he was very close to attaining full enlightenment, and so he walked to Bodh Gaya where, on the full moon day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, he seated himself beneath the Bodhi Tree in the meditation posture and vowed not to rise from meditation until he had attained perfect enlightenment. With this determination he entered the space-like concentration on the Dharmakaya.
As dusk fell, Devaputra Mara, the chief of all the demons, or maras, in this world, tried to disturb Siddhartha's concentration by conjuring up many fearful apparitions. He manifested hosts of terrifying demons, some throwing spears, some firing arrows, some trying to burn him with fire, and some hurling boulders and even mountains at him.
Through the force of his concentration, the weapons, rocks, and mountains appeared to him as a rain of fragrant flowers, and the raging fires became like offerings of rainbow lights.
Seeing that Siddhartha could not be frightened into abandoning his meditation, Devaputra Mara tried instead to distract him by manifesting countless beautiful women, but Siddhartha responded by developing even deeper concentration.
In this way he triumphed over all the demons of this world, which is why he subsequently became known as a "Conqueror Buddha."
Siddhartha then continued with his meditation until dawn, when he attained the varja-like concentration. With this concentration, which is the very last mind of a limited being, he removed the final veils of ignorance from his mind and in the next moment became a Buddha, a fully enlightened being.
