Love this time of year when it gets just a bit cooler, but for the most part you can still keep the windows open, but have a blanket at hand. The crunching of leaves underfoot (although the crunchies started earlier this year). As it gets cooler it is time to break out the heartier drinksContinue reading “Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice”

Simplicity Is Key
I’m hoping everyone enjoyed their summer and was able to spend it with friends, family, or even alone if your situation called for it. I was able to enjoy all 3 aspects during the summer. We did/are still enjoying our bountiful harvest from our garden. We have so much that we are sharing with friends,Continue reading “Simplicity Is Key”
Springtime
What a bit of a wicked spring we’ve had so far, freezing, thunder, lightning and heat, oh my! Snowdrops are out, tulips, crocus and daffodils are starting to come up and buds are just beginning to fatten up. I can always tell when it’s really going to get nice, when the lilac buds get reallyContinue reading “Springtime”
Happy International Women’s Day
Today we are celebrating all women young and old! Building each other up, standing strong for one another, sticking by each other, and cheering all women on. I was always a shy kid, never much talked to anyone unless spoken to, very introverted. But I listened. I learned. Just like the crow who observes andContinue reading “Happy International Women’s Day”
Love Is In The Air!
Oh boy, what a winter! Did you get dumped on where you live? As I am typing this we are in the midst of yet another storm. Shoveling and snow blowing later for sure. One good thing about this weather is that it’s a great time for cocooning. Yup, just what it sounds like, curlingContinue reading “Love Is In The Air!”
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”
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!”
