If you’re just joining me here at DiggintheDirt, I’m slowly working my way through over 1600 photos taken this past July during our few weeks in Norway. You can read about Tromsø, north of the Arctic Circle, over here in Part 1, and our stay in Bergen, over here, at Part 2. This week I’m posting…

Bucket List Trip to Norway, Part 2
Besides the opportunity to see my friend Guro (to come in a future edition of this series) I think Bergen was my favourite place we visited in Norway. The city is gorgeous, steeped in history, with innumerable nooks and crannies to explore. It’s intimate enough to be able to walk virtually everywhere in less than…
Bucket List Trip to Norway, Part 1
I’ve been a bit of a negligent blogger again for the last few weeks, and largely because there isn’t much to report since returning from Norway. I’ve been catching up on a fair bit of delayed “spring cleaning” — big house jobs that I’d avoided doing before our trip. And I’ve been plugging away at…
Dreaming of cooler climes
We’re back from an amazing trip to Norway (well, at least, I am — Chris unfortunately had to ship off to San Francisco immediately upon our return for a work conference). Lots of stories and photos to come! For now I’m trying to beat the jet lag and get back into the rhythm of work/life…
Gone fishin’
Well I’m officially on three weeks vacation and after a couple days at the cottage and this afternoon and evening at the farm, I just might be starting to relax. I couldn’t sit still at the cottage,thinking about all I need to do before we get on a plane on Wednesday but now that the…
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…
We love Madison!
A couple weeks ago our friends Cass and Liz and Chris and I all piled into our Jetta wagon and headed on an epic road trip to Madison Wisconsin. Why Madison you say? Well. Wisconsin only has some of the best craft beer in the world. And we had a plan to get our hands…
Dearly neglected
Hello there blog. We just haven’t been finding time for each other lately, have we? It’s not that I’m not doing very interesting things. I’ve got a wedding coming up and so lots of planning and organizing has been happening there. My veggie gardens have expanded and finally the tomatoes have taken off. I’ve already…
