…..I haven’t posted for a while because I’ve been thinking. Don’t laugh 🙂 I often have to have my mind go blank, quite empty, totally unproductive, like a field lying fallow. Having a blank landscape, gives me time to look for signs on the horizon or to follow the growth of a seed here or […]
I think that we have all been there. That is, we have said something or done something that set off a chain reaction which ultimately involved a lot of other people. Here’s what happened to me – 1. My 20-year-old son went out after work. At 1:15am, he sent a text to his father saying
….I know that most of my posts lately have been about the severity of the winter. And it’s not just me. It has been very difficult for most of us north and east of the Mississippi. Everyone, it seems, has been hunkering down, pulling out the stops, as it were, and loading up on the
Because I don’t have filters on my blog, I get a number of comments from Anonymous. Many of them never actually post to the blog, but the feeds come through to my e-mail. I usually just ignore them or delete them. In fact, I’m not sure why I even bothered to open this one. The

Most of us know what most of them are, however, we often have to be reminded, as the article suggests. Here are the ones, I enjoyed most from the list – gotta love a list!! 1.
…… We were invited to a few gatherings over the holidays. Not a lot, since both my husband and I are introverts, so extroverted “things” like parties, tend to be avoided. However, a neighbour and an old friend invited us to an open house last night. We knew that we could pop in for an
What is it about a trip to an art gallery that makes everyone think that they are artists!! I am not against this phenomenon…in fact I think that it is FABULOUS!! and I think that too many people discredit themselves, as artists. In fact, if we all didn’t have to “work” to make a living,
We are slowly recovering from a devastating ice storm on Sunday. Thousands of homes are still without power and most of the traffic lights at the main intersections are not working. Toronto is in chaos. However, there were errands to run and things to do, so I had to get into my car and get
