I can’t believe it… but I might becoming a vegetarian. This from a person who has eaten meat all her life. Gets great pleasure in gnawing the bones until they are devoid of any scraps of meat and then pops them into the stock pot to make soup. My dad hunted (and still does) and […]
Surviving the crowd is always something that I struggle with and along with that I probably miss out on a lot of grand adventures. For example… we are looking at going to Victoria this weekend for the big July 1st Canada Day bash. It’s a big deal as Canada celebrates their 150 year anniversary and […]

Seven little trilliums all lined up in a row Seven little trilliums all wondering where to go All shiny white and new, like a beacon in the dark Only blooming once a year in spring and in the park It’s Easter time the earth proclaims, peace will reign today Trilliums reflect the light that makes […]
