Daily Prompt: Oasis
Into the lens of the camera I go when I have need of escape. Through my camera I can escape the realities of the day, week, month, year and just languish in the act of creativity. Gardening is a close second, but the winter months leave us gardeners edgy. However, with my camera I can appreciate the subtle beauty of winter. What leaves are left … Continue reading Daily Prompt: Oasis
Adventures in burgundy
Last couple days I have felt very uninspired. Why is it that as soon as we give ourselves license to dream all of a sudden we become paralyzed. Fear? Perhaps. I don’t know. So yesterday I went back out after I walked Irish and decided to look at the world around me in a new way. I took the “color swap” feature and switched out … Continue reading Adventures in burgundy

Crow Stories
Twelve years ago in the year 2000, I was working at a Call Centre and my shift at that time started at 6 AM. I would walk to work the 45minutes, getting up at 4 AM, leaving at 5 AM, grabbing my Coffee at the Tim Horton’s on the way and getting to work for 5:45 AM. I was a busy girl. It was the … Continue reading Crow Stories
What dreams may come
Ok, so I too dream of being a writer. Which I suppose in this venue is akin to admitting you like flying at a flight school. More on that later. First, a couple of stories. I always thought that writers wrote fiction. Scholars and famous people wrote Memoirs and such. Who would want to read about little old me and my life? Yet, why not. … Continue reading What dreams may come
Fred the Ficus showed me “the way”
Fred the Ficus is, of course, a rescue. Yes, I even save the odd houseplant that SOMEONE has tossed out ON THE BACK PORCH {my sister}. So poor Fred was out there all alone in the dark on her back porch; out back where they parked the cars and stored the garbage. I can still picture him. All alone and so sad-looking. He was mostly … Continue reading Fred the Ficus showed me “the way”

A cottage, a bonfire & guitars = Céilidh
There are rare times in our life when the planets align, the right people are gathered, and MAGIC happens. True magic. The sort of moments that become cherished memories. Those rare times when you are FULLY aware and can thus revel in the moments, imprinting them on your soul for ever more. There are times when you truly are thankful to be alive, to be … Continue reading A cottage, a bonfire & guitars = Céilidh
Bless his “picker” heart
Some perhaps may be unfamiliar with “picker” as a noun rather than a verb. What is a “picker” you ask? Well, this is an individual who will go to any lengths to seek old stuff that others would consider junk. OH NO…to a “picker” (or “salvager” I believe in the UK) … these “things” are gems. Diamonds in the rough. “Picker Gold”. The whole REUSE, … Continue reading Bless his “picker” heart
Sunday Photo Round-up
Lots of walks this week, therefore lots of photos. Playing last few days with Flickr & GIMP and haven’t really posted anything but photos for the Daily Prompts. So, with no further adieu I little slideshow of photos “in the raw” from the week. As you’ll notice we went from late fall to winter within a matter of days. It was a lot of fun … Continue reading Sunday Photo Round-up
‘To thy ownself be true’ | March 31 2012
Going through these events 8 months later is a bit surreal sometimes. In my mind I have to fly past all this other “stuff” and I really have to focus in order to get back to that place. Returning to these events and re-living what I was experiencing is … oh what’s the word…hard? difficult? … no … painful? No. It makes me kind of … Continue reading ‘To thy ownself be true’ | March 31 2012

I am healthy, I have a roof over my head … and then I saw this picture from February 2012 of Irish getting her toes massaged (last pic … Continue reading Thankful
…Inspiration
Words, beautiful words. Poems, stories, of all kinds is what I crave. Whether the story be historical, a mystery, or a fable for children. ….Oh, tell me a story. That is why I am inspired to blog. To tell stories, to share experiences and to learn, most especially to learn. I am teaching myself how to write. Not just in a journal, but to really … Continue reading …Inspiration
