Went for a drive yesterday and everywhere we looked gardens were in full bloom. It does something for the soul.

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential.

Monday Mood: pensive

Monday Mood: pensive

Like this Carolina Wren, I’m fixing my gaze on the unknown, senses alert. Temperatures are rising, we’re almost half way through July, and I’m feeling my determination strengthen. What change is on the horizon?

I’ll be over here pondering.

The stillness of a summer’s day, a good time to reflect.

Monday Mood: Exhausted

Monday Mood: Exhausted

The events of the past few weeks, plus the rain, seemed to have caught up with me. Day’s goal: rest, rest, and more rest.

Monday Mood: Abundance

Monday Mood: Abundance

We held a garage sale this past Saturday – no small feat for two gimpy old folks. Fortunately, we had help, and as it was a town-wide event, there were many people out.

Still exhausted two days later, but feeling like this squirrel with his treasure – blessed by abundance.

Chickadees in the House

Chickadees in the House

A friend from my poetry circle honoured me with a birdhouse painted with Ukrainian colours. John has since passed away, and this summer we were finally able to give the birdhouse a home in our garden.

Happy to say, John, that the chickadees have settled in and I am joyfully reminded of you everyday.
