I don't think so. And judging by the amount of snow I have in my garden, I will not be seeing green (like this beautiful garden) for some time. I'm one of those strange people who likes winter, and can honestly say summer is my least favourite season. I'm much happier at -30C than +30C.… Continue reading Are we there yet…

International Women’s Day…
Hello everyone, I was thinking of writing a post for International Women's Day and then thought I should go back to my old posts and make sure I hadn't done that already. As it turns out, I had...March 8, 2023. There wasn't much point in saying the same things in a new post so… Continue reading International Women’s Day…
I Got (e)Mail…
If you've followed this blog for some time you will know that I love Paris. In recent years, London has been tugging at my heart strings, but after spending time in both cities this past summer, Paris came out on top. The first time I visited Paris was in 1988, but I had… Continue reading I Got (e)Mail…
And just like that…summer is over
And we're halfway through autumn. Snow is on the way and Christmas is just around the corner. Time really does slip by. I hope your garden season was as productive and pleasant as mine. With an abundance of rain early on and so many bright, sunny days right into September, the garden looked beautiful. … Continue reading And just like that…summer is over
Is it too early to plant…
I don't think I've checked the weather app on my phone as often as I have this past week. Is there a freezing temperature in the near future or are we in the clear? If I wasn't a skeptic I'd look to Nature instead for clues... My garden is revealing itself in an interesting way… Continue reading Is it too early to plant…
When the wind blows…
. ...don't fight it! Not that we could. As I write this post, I'm watching the wind blow...strong enough to make the boughs of the neighbour's giant spruce tree… Continue reading When the wind blows…
Spring Break…
I don't know if you can see the snow falling in this photo, but this is happening in my garden this morning! Spring break? I don't have a post for today. Although the weather is drab today, I've had a wonderful, busy week visiting with family, even babysitting an adorable grandnephew for a full day.… Continue reading Spring Break…
When Chaos Reigns…
Is it possible to isolate ourselves from exterior negativity? Can we dim the chaos around us like a filter on an Instagram post? I wonder... I find myself clenching my teeth more and more. I already have an enamel problem with my teeth and wear a guard at night, and my dentist says that I… Continue reading When Chaos Reigns…
Simpler Times…
Sadly, there is nothing left of my childhood home. Last week, it was torn down... My brother sent me this photo as the last walls were knocked down. He just happened to be walking his "granddog" in the old neighbourhood. I'm happy my parents are no longer here to see its demise. I understand… Continue reading Simpler Times…
Valentine’s Day…
Roses are red, Violets are blue... However, the origin of Valentine's Day may have been anything but sugar and spice. There are many theories of how this celebration began but some are gruesome and violent. Anything from sacrificial animal killing and then whipping women with their hides in the name of "fertility" to the killing… Continue reading Valentine’s Day…
