Hallowe’en…Hollowe’en…

I think that either term applies – Hollowe’en because we hollow out the pumpkins for the “weens” – the wee wains and that’s pretty exciting. It’s a lot of fun to see the children get dressed up and for many adults – it’s fun to be children again and get dressed up. I don’t actually go […]

Did you hear the one……

So, did you hear the one about the woman who went into the camera store and came out with a $300.00 lens cap?….Well, that really isn’t how it went…sure, we know…. Well actually I lost my lens cap….could be worse.  I know that it will surface one day, after all – A. who would steal a

Roses are red….

I finally found my red rose. It was hiding in the back of the garden, so I am sending it to you.  I know that you would probably want it on a Monday when things can be a little down.  I always feel that you can get through anything on a Friday, unless of course

A Cemetery without soul…..

I mean no disrespect.  I know that cemeteries have a lot of souls in them; but I was walking over to a cemetery that is close to me, to take pictures of their lovely rose gardens, only to find that they had cut back all the rose canes to the requisite 6″ – needless to say there

WOWstock!!!

I’m just back from Woodstock, which I have re-named WOWstock because of the fabulous time we had there. First the organizers of the festival are just the nicest people – friendly, helpful and appreciative!! Secondly the show has a real “down home” feel about it. It feels like a festival for fleece.  There were fleeces

99% and counting……

OK my apologies if you are that 1%, this blog maybe isn’t for you…..But if you do fall into that 1% category, I could use a small donation – a few thousand would work –  more if you are so inclined and love knitting…honest, no questions asked, just leave a comment, where you may be contacted

Six hours from home…….

Another mini challenge – this time it is to list one “thing or one person that has made a huge impact on your life”….. This took a lot of thought because a lot of events and a lot of people have influenced me through my life; however, one short very casual conversation which could be

Woodstock revisited….

I am off to Woodstock this afternoon …  That’s Woodstock ON for a fleece festival – both people and animals will be clothed – unlike the first Woodstock – well OK maybe the animals were clothed – difficult to tell, though, the people from the animals with all that long hair 🙂 Anyway, I am looking

Sacred Rides…..

I was reading today in the business section of one of our local papers about a small business that started in the 1990’s, as a provider of guided “extreme biking” vacations. Things struggled along as most of these market specific companies do…or as my husband would say – went for the lifestyle – stayed for

Sending You A Sunny Day

Hopefully the sun is shining where you are; but if it isn’t here are some blue skies for you.  The sun hasn’t shone here in Toronto in almost a week. I have been popping Vitamin D capsules and “thinking” happy thoughts to dispel the gloom. Here are the pictures taken from the Staples parking lot.  It
