Where did September and then October go to? In September we’re blessed with a beautiful month. So will the arrival of cold be a big shock? January seems about right for the arrival of the first cold. In preparation for the cold, I have been moving my geraniums inside so I can enjoy them in […]

We have been hearing a lot lately about getting rid of single use plastics. While it sounds easy, I don’t think it will be. Being told by politicians who jet all over at the drop of a hat to drum up votes not to use plastic straws, just seems a bit hypocritical! People I know […]

Where has July gone? Not long ago we were celebrating Canada Day and the month stretched ahead of us. And now it’s over, which means we are half-way through summer. Suzie and I managed a few walks down by the lake and then it got to be too hot, so we have been going to […]

I’m not very happy with the weather gods! We’ve had enough winter with its cold and snow and ice. When March arrives, we should be thinking of crocus and tulips and daffodils. In the middle of February, I went on my first Caribbean cruise in about ten years so I missed a couple weeks of […]

As I add on the years and become less nimble, I find that I need to be quicker on my feet as I dodge people who are more interested in looking at their phones than where they are going. Is their left hand going to mutate so that it is permanently bent to better fit […]

Fall presents us with many different faces so that we don’t have to think about what the following months will bring. It comes in with the beginning of the glorious colours that we look forward to each year. By the end of the month many of the trees are clothed in only fall colours. At […]

Having gone back to school at the beginning of September after somewhere in the neighbourhood of fifty years, there is a certain nostalgia as I see school buses through my kitchen window on the first day back at school. There is something special about a brand new sharpener, pencils, and pencil crayons. Aren’t new notebooks […]
