A Clutter of Blog Ideas….

It took me a while today to come up with an idea for a blog. In fact I really don’t actually have an idea as yet, but I have an idea to write a list of ideas – does that make sense? I’ve spent about an hour going through some blogging communities that I spend […]

The Shadow Knows….

On one of my walks through the cemetery last week, I took some pictures. It was a brilliantly sunny day, so the trees cast some amazing shadows. I happen to love shadows. They often say more than the actual structure that’s casting the shadow. Here they are – I particularly liked this one because it

Qualifications….

I went for a three mile walk on Friday. It was -13ºC, but it was brilliantly sunny with no wind. There, I had to qualify my walk or people might think that I’m more than a little insane. Somehow I couldn’t just say that I didn’t mind walking, even though it was bitterly cold. Maybe

Observations at 6:00am…..

Weird and wonderful things happen to morning people. I know that even weirder and dare I say more wonderful things happen to night people too, but since I’ve never been one, I wouldn’t know. However, as an insomniac, I have been known to peer out of windows at 3:00am and I have seen you out

I Ask You

I am looking outside at bare tree branches – again. They are still taupe against a pale grey sky; nothing has changed in months. I am tempted to feel sad. No, I mustn’t give in to sadness. I ease back a little from the melancholy and think again. I realize that I haven’t read Billy

My blogs are works in progress. That is, I often re-read a post, which might be listed on my stats. page, as recently read by someone else. Invariably, I find an error, usually minor, in the spelling or the syntax, which I then correct. Today, someone read this post – Content Marketing Tools Can Be

The Spy Who Came In From The Cold….maybe…

There was an interesting post to my FB wall yesterday about knitting. Yes I am still involved in the knitting community and I do enjoy articles that add to its mystique!! The article from The Guardian,  listed several little know facts about knitting and its uses, other than to make scarves, socks and sweaters!! There

What does it take to win “gold?”

….maybe just an empty net and a flukey missed shot. How many times have you succeeded in spite of the odds and how many times have you missed a wide open opportunity? These moments happened in Olympic proportions yesterday to the Canadian woman’s hockey team. Down 2-1 against the US, they pulled their goalie. At

Chicken scratch….and lip-sync-ed lives

…..the other day I was scratching around for a blog post. You know there wasn’t much out there that was being “ironical.” OK, it was bright and sunny, which might have deceived us into thinking that it was warmer.  No, it was still around -12ºC, warming up to -7ºC as it clouded over. We did
