Here we are. We are townies. A good six months of almost daily house showings and we have gotten beyond the selling of a city home, beyond the moving of a big family, beyond settling in to a new home. Here we are…we are HERE! Continue reading →

Waiting to Breath
It has been a while since I indulged my eye and heart in my passion for the little things in life… Continue reading →
Summer Happened Harvest Arrived
And summer past without much posting from me. So unlike me! Summer can be the most fun to blog about and yet I had a new perspective this year… the perspective of someone who HAS TO get her blood pressure in check so I let a lot of things just slide. Hopefully I will have time to post some warm fuzzy summer memory posts on here in the near future.
Roofing
The roof has been bad for years. This was THE spring to get it done finally. We had the equipment rented, the qualified friend prepared to help us, everything delivered and ready… and then it rained… and rained… every day for a few weeks.
Napping in the Park
If I could bottle such days and replay them when ever and where ever I please I would bottle last Saturday. Pyjama day till noon, an enthusiastic trip to the library (proof I have a house full of lit lovers), toboggan rides in a warm sun on a slick hill and then the icing on the cake… a nap in the park!
Rewards
Everyone likes to be rewarded. My youngest and I found these delicate desserts after a morning of much running around. They appeared to be the perfect reward for the two of us, after all we had both been on our best behaviour this grocery day.
Catching Snow Flakes In Your Own Back Yard
All we wanted to do was get to the hill for some sliding. What we really wanted was to skate, but that takes a lot more planning and we were running out of time on one of the few warm days this January. Dad held us up at the last and we ended up sitting in a toboggan, in the yard, trying to catch the fantastically fluffy snow flakes on our tongues.
it IS on my mind
In new years past I contemplated making a resolution, as is the cultural norm in my little part of the world. Each year I was struck with my short comings in using my personal resolve to change much of anything in my life. THIS year I continued my own tradition of being honest with myself and not making any personal promises. I realise I learn and grow more then I ever decide and change, and so I have embraced that.
Christmas With A Touch of Flu Bug
Skating, tobogganing, family gathering around a turkey meal, gifts, laughs, sleep overs, board games, card games and so much more… all with a little flu mixed in.
Winter Thumbs Up
A cold has kept me stuck at home for almost two weeks, voiceless for the last week, and while colds are one of my least favorite things about winters set in, there are many other things worthy of a double thumbs up. Thumbs up is my youngest child’s favorite way to express pure pleasure in the littlest of things. I have collected my current top five winter wonderfuls, in no particular order, to share.
