Happy New Year!

Hoping everyone had a great holiday, however you celebrate. Another year has gone and I ask once again ‘where did the year go?’. It seems like the months fly by. I read somewhere that it seems to fly by because we get into a rut in our daily lives, get up, go to work, getContinue reading “Happy New Year!”

Winter Wonders

Oh the snow! Earliest that we have had it in the Tri-Cities in years. It can be a beautiful thing and dangerous as well. A few days back there were closures on Hwy401 a couple days in a row, and a relative got stuck the 2nd day from 10:15am to 3:45pm. Yikes! Note to self:Continue reading “Winter Wonders”

Getting Back To Basics

Hope everyone had a great Halloween and had lots of little (and bigger) trick or treaters. It was a chilly night, one youngster had on short sleeves! (I’m hoping that didn’t last too long, and they put a coat on soon after). Yup, cold weather is here, probably to stay awhile now. Just in timeContinue reading “Getting Back To Basics”

Cool Weather Coming!

Ahh, the days are still warm, but don’t let that fool you! Nights are beginning to cool down and leaves are starting to turn. We have put our gardens to bed for the winter, just some kale and cabbage are left, most of the water barrels have been emptied, and we just have to putContinue reading “Cool Weather Coming!”

All The Little Summer Things

September has arrived, kiddos are heading back to school, and I’ve noticed that some of the trees are beginning to change colour. The gardens are pretty much done except for kale, tomatoes and swiss chard. We have so many tomatoes, that we froze a bunch to make sauces later on once the weather cools off.Continue reading “All The Little Summer Things”

Sunshine & Happiness!

Well, this summer has definitely gotten away from me! I’m usually posting the beginning of the month, but….not this time. How is your summer going? I hope you are able to take some time away and explore our beautiful Canadian backyard. We were able to get away to beautiful Manitoulin again this year. We tookContinue reading “Sunshine & Happiness!”

Summer Fun!

‘Tis the season! No, not quite that one, but the sunshine and fun one! I for one am excited, you see, I had worked 18 years in the hospitality business, and summers were great for guests, but not always for the employees (looong hours, heat, co-workers not showing up, you get the picture, plus youContinue reading “Summer Fun!”

Grounding Edition For Summer

Walking through the grass barefoot is referred to as grounding or earthing. This has numerous benefits such as reducing stress, boosting the immune system and improving sleep. The free electrons from the earth can be absorbed by our body. The negative charge electrons from your body will be absorbed by the earth. It can alsoContinue reading “Grounding Edition For Summer”

And The Sun Is Shining!

Although as I am typing this, the mornings can still be cool, but we have had some breakfasts outside! This I am excited about because it gives me a chance to connect with nature listening to the birds, watching squirrels and chipmunks go about their business, checking out flowers that are starting to poke upContinue reading “And The Sun Is Shining!”

April Showers Bring Sun…And Hopefully Warmth

The snow is mostly gone, may get a few more flurries, but enough about that…we are officially into spring and new growth is starting, the birds are twitterpated and it is so good to feel the heat in the sun again! Who has been de-cluttering? A show of hands please. Yup, out with the old,Continue reading “April Showers Bring Sun…And Hopefully Warmth”
