Idle Hands

I lie on the bed, my eyes closed against the glare of the sun streaming through the windows. It’s pretty out there, sparkling snow, blue skies, light and shadows, I don’t care. Turning my back to the dancing healing rays of the sun I stay inside myself, in the dark, my mood is black, murky, […]

Cornucopia of Joy

mountains topped with snow
against big blue skies,

It’s everyones’ holiday….

I’ve just returned from a wonderful vacation in Costa Rica, specifically Tamarindo and Playa Langosta. What a beautiful country. There were five of us: my sister (it was her birthday), two girlfriends and my husband. Yes, he was there with four women.

That dog can move!

Yesterday, Zoey and I walked to the off leash park, 3 kilometres uphill, 7.35 kilometres return trip. Zoey wears a harness as she tends to pull. The leash clips around my waist. We move fast. I’d checked the weather app, the temperature was minus 13 celsius, with a windchill feel of minus 22, I dressed […]
