Running and Spring Peepers

Posted on 2 May 20233 May 2023 By Dragonfly No Comments on Running and Spring Peepers
Running and Spring Peepers

It’s barely spring here in eastern Nova Scotia. Nary a flower has bloomed except for the occasional colt’s foot that peeks its yellow head out of the early green grass. It’s the first part of May, and the trees are only just now getting buds. A month from now we will be cursing the heat…

A Walking Challenge

Posted on 12 Mar 202312 Mar 2023 By Dragonfly No Comments on A Walking Challenge
A Walking Challenge

It’s Sunday morning, and I’m relaxing some before getting back into an incredibly fun, energizing, and yet somewhat tiring walking challenge that my workplace is doing. The goal is to walk from New Hampshire to our city (Halifax) and then make it as far west as possible. I think Seattle is the final goal. I…

Meadow Cam

My family is so thoughtful when giving stuff for winter holidays. They know me. I get stuff like books, music, socks, and candles. My relatives send me gifts from local places, home-made gifts, etc. I’m the same way and prefer to make stuff myself or order from Etsy to send to those I also love….

A Whirlwind of Activity

A Whirlwind of Activity

In the past three weeks, we have driven from Halifax to Chicago and back, gotten Covid-19 for the first time, attended a wedding, and got to spend much-needed time with my sweet and fun family. Everything is changing. We’re all getting older. What’s that Fleetwood Mac song? Well, I’ve been afraid of changin’‘Cause I’ve built…

A Whole Summer Has Gone By!

Posted on 8 Sep 20229 Sep 2022 By Dragonfly No Comments on A Whole Summer Has Gone By!
A Whole Summer Has Gone By!

I am the worst blogger. I last wrote in June. Not that too many people probably ever read the blog, but I’ve been very busy lately. During the summer, I planted and harvested beans, tomatoes, sage, thyme, mints, turnips, beets, and onions. I made a big pot of shucky beans and have another round of…

Box of Rain

Box of Rain

It’s mid-June, just after 6:00 pm, and I’ve got the windows and doors open to a darkening green day. The rain is pouring outside, like Vancouver-style rain. It sounds nice. “Rain is fallin’ from a heavy sky.” Reminds me of before the rain, when I took a small break from work and danced around the…

Springtime

Springtime

I do think we’re done with snow! Possibly not, but this week marks the start of spring for us. Sunshine, bugs, the first daffodils. Our groundhog, Marmie, has come out of their hiding. Our bat box is built and up in the meadow. That was our Earth Day project. We have company; my mother-in-law is…

Three Years

Three Years

It’s been nearly three years since we moved across Canada and bought a cottage house on the outskirts of Halifax, and it has been a wild three years. I was going to list all the bad things, but will not because we all probably already know. Our thoughts lately are with our Ukranian friends and…

Ice Storm

Ice Storm

By last Thursday, it was predicted that Nova Scotia would have an ice storm starting sometime on Friday. We often get dire weather predictions and have had Nor’easters and winter storms now five weekends in the past six. I find it lovely for the most part and often stay up late, fire in the wood…

A Day in the Life

A Day in the Life

I was thinking about the ordinary today and realized that my days are not the languid, unstructured, and undisciplined days I spent when we moved here to Nova Scotia. They have some sort of routine now, leaving less time for things that I used to do but which also were sort of meaningless in the…
