Lots and lots of rain. Finally. Hooray! Just listening to the rain fall outside my office. Giant puddles are forming in the construction site next door. My garden is soaking it up at home. Finally. Maybe those deep cracks in my raised beds will finally close up.

Arctic Circle, here we come!
T-36 days until Chris and I leave for Tromsø, Norway, 350 kilometres above the Arctic Circle! 24 hour sunlight anyone? This is our honeymoon finally, but it’s also a chance for me to visit my friend Guro in her home country. Guro lived with me as an exchange student when we were both in high school…
R & R
After two very very hectic weeks of work and work-related commitments, I’m enjoying the beloved porch at my family home on the farm, near Stratford, Ontario. I kind of have the day to myself; my Dad and husband are installing a new fence for the horses (pictured in part above) and they apparently don’t need…
Taking it national baby!
Our love of craft beer has made Canada’s national newspaper! We’re featured on the cover of the Life section of today’s Globe and Mail for our (possibly obsessive) beer run to Madison, Wisconsin last summer, to bring home kegs of New Glarus beer (Belgian Red and Raspberry Tart to be exact) for our wedding last fall….
We can pickle that!

Play farm
After Christmas 2010, my mom told me about a potential sewing/craft project she thought I might like to take up for my niece and nephew, as a future Christmas gift.

Welcome 2012!
Well here we are, a new year in the making. Again, I’ve been tardy in my blogging responsibilities. Not for any particularly good reason. Life has been interesting as always and I’ve been taking time for myself for other priorities. Health, holidays, and just some general downtime. I have so many things I want to…
Wedded bliss
Here it is, finally! We’ve got our photos back from my friend Angie, who did our photography, and did an amazing job if I do say so myself. I just love looking at these — its been such a busy time since the wedding that its been hard to hold onto that wonderful day. But…
T minus 8
Our wedding is right around the corner!! I can hardly believe it! We’re all ready to go; have just been doing some last few things as the countdown begins in earnest. There really isn’t anything major left to do but start carting loads of things up to the cottage, which we intend to do this…
Back to the start
I’m going to admit right now that I’ve shamelessly copied Amanda’s post by adding this video to my own blog, but it literally brought a hitch to my throat and a tear to my eye. Growing up on a small farm that’s been in my family since it was settled, and for which the future…
