Mr. Magoo got an early Christmas present from me this weekend while I was visiting at the farm. His mama was looking for a fun new hat for him and of course the viking hats are super cute and super popular, so I made one special for him that was a bit bigger than the…

Enjoying the break but feeling off my game
I don’t know what is up with me. I think I’m pretty chilled out — I’ve been enjoying a nice week off (aside from the two meetings I had to go to at work on Tuesday and Wednesday, which were for a very good reason). But I’ve also been incredibly lazy and unmotivated, which is…
On to the next holiday season
This year Chris and I did a little more Halloween decoration than usual. I had bought a couple of beautiful pumpkins a week ago, and made the mistake of leaving them out on the porch to be admired. Well apparently a couple fuzzy little black creatures enjoyed admiring them too. So I had to go…
A night out dancin’ and a day at the zoo
Last night I saw Thievery Corporation again at Kool Haus, with my buddy Alice. They’re making a victory lap on the Radio Retaliation tour, celebrating the album’s Grammy nomination this year. It was virtually the same show that I saw at February, with the exception that last night was opened by Ocote Soul Sounds, another…
East Coast Trip Part IV
As we worked our way through the final stretch of our Cape Breton tour, we passed through the town of Mabou, where I began to notice signs for Bellemeade Farm, selling hand spun yarn, sheepskins, hand knits, etc. I got really excited because while we had seen many places selling hand knit mittens and socks…
East Coast Trip Part III
It took us about half the day to drive from Port aux Basques in Newfoundland where the ferry landed to drive up to Gros Morne. And what a drive! I cannot express just how starkly beautiful Newfoundland is. The west coast drive takes you along the remnants of the Appalachian Mountains, and we were going…
East Coast Tour, Part II
After our time in Fundy National Park and exploring around Chignecto Bay and Moncton, we headed on a marathon jaunt into Nova Scotia with Louisbourg, in Cape Breton, as our destination. We stopped in at the Visitor Centre in Amherst, as we entered Nova Scotia, where we were “piped in” by a bagpipe player. It…
Amid the crazy, slowly catching up on photos
Oh how I love September. The month of insanity at my job, the month of tomato bounty and the month of about a dozen friends’ and family’s birthdays, including my own. Oh and then there’s the Film Festival. And catching up around the garden after vacation in August. And did I mention work? Hoo-boy don’t…
Hostile intelligence agents are searching for YOU!
This past weekend we finally made the trip to Ottawa to visit our friends Bruce and Youngja (of my kimchi lesson fame), who have been living there for around two years and we had not yet visited, mainly because it was too difficult to find a dog sitter for Zeus for a weekend, and the…
Spring eats, part deux
Just the other day I was thinking, “Gee, I probably should have thinned out those radishes a couple weeks ago…” Then my elderly neighbour said, “Just thin them by harvesting them!” Like, duh. I didn’t even realize they were ready yet! All weekend we’ve been munching fresh juicy radishes from the garden, spring onions, as…
