A Bit of Running and Hiking Today

Posted on 1 Jul 20193 Jul 2019 By Dragonfly No Comments on A Bit of Running and Hiking Today
A Bit of Running and Hiking Today

Today I ignored all that is wrong with me and went to Mundy Park with my husband. We ran and hiked, and it felt really good. I think because of my running in the past I still have some stamina inside or something. I felt no tiredness, no anything, and it just felt good. The…

Random Thoughts

There may be a fat, arrogant king sitting on the throne. It is always after the land is wasted and the air is a joke and the waters are gone and the birds are screaming. There are always self-appointed prophets wanting to pay lip service to this disaster, but there are the more silent whose…

Sea Life

Sea Life

Spring is such a flirt. It is warm and sunny one week, cool and rainy the next. How will I ever court this fickle season! Yesterday my coworker and I once again hiked around Deer Park Lake, this time without the snow, so we went a further distance. You can tell by the brown how…

Sunshine, Yes

Sunshine, Yes

I recently learned from my specialist, who is trying to figure out my foot, that I have a vitamin D deficiency. This is not uncommon for those living in Vancouver. And while I don’t feel the need to complain about much, the constant rain does leave a lot of us longing for that glorious sunshine….

2019 – Wishes and Dreams

2019 – Wishes and Dreams

Unlike the rest of Canada, we haven’t seen a bit of snow except for up in the mountains. It has rained a lot, barely dipping below freezing. My sage and thyme on the balcony are still alive from last summer. The past few days have been chilly but full of sunshine, a nice break from…

2018-A Look Back

Posted on 21 Dec 201823 Feb 2019 By Dragonfly No Comments on 2018-A Look Back
2018-A Look Back

I do this every year on the blog: figure out which memories of the past year stand out the most. I woke up early this morning and walked to the skytrain. It was still dark and very clear with stars blinking from the far beyond. The pavement below was icy in places, and the cedars…

The River of Life

The River of Life

People come and go. Eagles come and go. Water is always moving. On Saturday we rafted part of the Squamish River,which is the largest home in the world for bald eagle populations. It wasn’t a wild fast paddle but a slow one, which went from Squamish to the brackish waters of the tidal area, where…

Disappearing

Disappearing

The idea of vanishment isn’t new for me. Ever since I was a kid, I both reveled in the social beauty of the world and yet knew that it drained my energy too often. I was the shy, quiet girl who liked to have an escape route. I sat in back of the class, and…

Dragonfly Summer

I can’t believe how beautiful it is this time of year. We have had perfect weather, though warmer than usual. Last night when we were getting ready for bed, we smelled wildfires from up north. It is so dry I have had some green beans outside drying for a few days so I can freeze…

Early Onset Summer

Early Onset Summer

I am sunburned and browning, and just returned from the interior where the mountains are lush yet the hills just east are brown and desert-like. This very morning I talked with my husband’s grandmother, who just turned 102. She, and the quick changing of seasons, reminds me that life is eternal but humans are maybe…
