Tuesday night I finally did something I’ve been wanting to do for a while. Gardening and plants are not anywhere near my specialty, nor do I even particularly enjoy it much but I planted a new plan in the flower bed I dug the other day, and I am excited about it. It’s really theContinue reading “Great Grandmothers Peony”

Finally feeling like Spring
It finally feels like Spring has arrived. The snow is starting to melt and I’m actually getting to see my front lawn again. Although it has lots of gravel on it, I’d rather that than snow. I’ve been using the bench in the front yard as a bit of measuring stick judging how much snowContinue reading “Finally feeling like Spring”
Snowy Easter Walk
Yesterday we went for a beautiful wintery walk at Miners Marsh. The only problem is this was Easter weekend and it is supposed to be Spring time.
Easter Egg Hunt and Game Day
Yesterday we got together with Friends and Family for what has become an annual Easter Egg hunt. Looking back it seems like we started in 2010. Starting out I was a little disappointed that we were going to have to hold it indoors this year as there is still far to much snow to beContinue reading “Easter Egg Hunt and Game Day”
Unsure of my own beliefs
Not sure how to approach this topic. It has been something that has been rattling around in my head for quite a while now. Hopefully this will be coherent, but it will basically be a brain dump of my thoughts. This is something I’ve not talked to anyone about so I’m really just trying toContinue reading “Unsure of my own beliefs”

We had a great family day in Halifax today. The Discovery Centre has a couple new exhibits set up that we hadn’t been to yet so that was our destination today in between shopping stops. One of the new parts was a Sherlock Holmes mystery. They had eight chapters to the storey, each with theirContinue reading “Discovery Centre Fun Day”
So Much Snow
Pretty confident that the last time we had this much snow was February 2004, in the storm that was dubbed White Juan. Here’s a few pictures of the front yard so far this month, where’s my bench? Watching the wind blow around this morning made me try to wait as long as possible before goingContinue reading “So Much Snow”
Always Something
It really seems like there is just one thing after another that comes along. Just two weeks ago it was poor Alex at the hospital with an awful migraine. Last night it was Caile’s turn to end up there because she had a bumps all over her. It started with just a couple but beforeContinue reading “Always Something”
Boxing Day Reflection
There are so many parts of Christmas that I absolutely love, and I think this year might just be the best one yet. For the first time in years I haven’t felt stressed or Grinch like at all. Maybe it’s because there are just so many other things on my mind lately to keep itContinue reading “Boxing Day Reflection”
Family Pictures
Recently we had our family pictures taken by our good friend and photographer Cheryl Fields. Cheryl did a great job. I love being able to capture our family all together every so often. It makes it fun to look back and see how much we have all changed over the years.
