Why do we bother raking?
24 hours later and it looks like I did nothing. Iโm trying to look at it as glass half full & that I got some exercise.
Next more important task: get pine needles out of the eavestroughs. Fortunately I have a great nephew to help with that tomorrow!

I opened up the bird houses to clean them out for next year and WOW! Those little tiny house wrens really packed a lot into their home this summer! Little pack rats they are!
Canโt wait to see what they do with the place next year.

Itโs been a few stressful months. I do my best to make time to re-centre myself. At the beach, feeling my feet in the sand, waves lapping on the shore, taking deep breaths. It doesnโt entirely remove the stress but it does help reset a balance. How do you stabilize a chaotic time in life?

Beach grass. I think of the effort it takes to thrive in such a challenging environment. But every year itโs back, bringing beauty to the beach. Today I am thankful for the ability to appreciate the small things.
What are you thankful for? ๏ฟผ

Wishing you a restful night before a new week comes storming in.

That time when youโre editing a podcast when suddenly, out of the corner of your eye, some movement grabs your attention. I can now add groundhogs to the list of critters that have lived under my deck. Fortunately they take turns with the skunks & possums! #wildlife #backyardshenanigans

When you have a bowl full of fresh summer fruit, what delicious morsel do you save for last, ensuring its scrumptious taste lingers?
For me, pineapple gets the win!

Another original cottage bites the dust. Decades of memories, laughter, BBQs & bonfires. Notice the family photos? So many of these tiny places are being knocked down when owners pass & the kids arenโt interested. Mine would likely meet the same fate. Progress right?

Went from +40C temps to needing to dig out this old relic, a Markel baseboard electric heater dating back to the 60s.
I am refusing to get the wood stove going in August!

How pretty is this?
So thankful for friends who surprised me with a birthday cake created by the talented folks at my favourite bakery, Purple Lips Bakery.
I am so very blessed to have friends who help remind me of my value at a time when I am questioning it.

It's 31C outside, feeling like 38.
It's 29C inside, feeling like 485!
Am I having ice cream for breakfast, lunch and dinner? You better believe it! Even better with some homemade strawberry rhubarb sauce to top it all off.
How are you staying cool?

I was so excited to see wild strawberries in my yard. Collected my tiny harvest, very gently rinsed them but oh did they taste horrible! Not at all sweet like the berries that grow at the cottage. Next year Iโm leaving them for the critters.
What grows in your backyard?

Hit a milestone while on the rural roads of southern Ontario today and cracked the 100K mark on the car. Not bad for a 2016!
To anyone hitting the highway this long weekend, safe travels!

I pretty much live outside in the summer enjoying breakfast, lunch & dinner on the deck.
Gotta soak up this gorgeous weather while itโs here!
Today Iโm thankful for neighbours who look after my yard and collect my mail while Iโm out of town.
