We’ve had a splash of rain overnight, the 2nd this spring. I’m not feeling gung-ho about the garden but have spinach, lettuce and onions coming up. They’re the only things I’ve planted so far. Will try to rally the green thumb this weekend. #overnightrain #raisedgardenbeds #lettuce #spinach #onions #greenthumb #taleswithfriendsAn evening of music from Then and Now at the Holy Family Cathedral last night. I’ve captured 2 of the 3 stained glass windows. It’s the world first cathedral with solar PV stained glass and it’s in Saskatoon! #eveningofmusic #holyfamilycathedral #stainedglass #solar #taleswithfriends #worldsfirst #saskatoonGifts to myself from Amazon. Ready to be healthier physically, spiritually and creatively. #gifts #ketotarian #willcole #enteringthecastle #carolinemyss #embroiderythread #taleswithfriends #gettinghealthierNever give up. It’s no enough just to have hope. You have to have active hope. I ask myself continuously What can I do? in those moments of despondency. Take good care of myself and the things important to me is the answer. My Clivia tells me it works. It has responded after a long period of rest and TLC. The orange buds are peeking between the leaves. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! #clivia #buds #tlc #activehope #whatcanido #taleswithfriendsIt matters that I pay attention and put effort in living a good life. Some tender loving care was put into this Cyclamen. She is paying me back with a profusion of beautiful red blooms. There are many buds so many more blooms to come. #gratitude #intention #attention #livingagoodlife #cyclamen #blooms #taleswithfriendsLife behind chain links at the dog park. Once upon a time when Sheba was a pup, this bog was accessible because the flimsy wooden fence was always knocked down by wind or rowdy teenagers. Sheba and other mischievous dogs took delight in running into the water and mud and come out stinky and dirty. The city finally spent money to put up a proper fence. Now it’s off limits. It’s become a protected nesting sanctuary for wildlife. We are serenaded by many birds on our walks there. #dogpark #bog #fenced #nestingsanctuary #singingbirds #taleswithfriendsSometimes it is good to just lay our heads down, rest and not to think about anything. #sheba #resting #nothinking #taleswithfriendsWe are whiling the afternoon away, listening to traffic and the birds sing. #whilingtheafternoonaway #lazy #thedogandme #taleswithfriendsMiss Innocent sleeping so sweetly. She was fussing in the middle of the night. I had to let her out. I couldn’t get back to sleep but rested. #sheba #taleswithfriendsI’m on top of the world but it’s a bit windy and scary up here. #sheba #dogpark #topoftheworld #taleswithfriends
