Why do we bother raking?
24 hours later and it looks like I did nothing. Iโ€™m 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!

Canโ€™t wait to see what they do with the place next year.

Itโ€™s 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 doesnโ€™t 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 itโ€™s back, bringing beauty to the beach. Today I am thankful for the ability to appreciate the small things.
What are you thankful for? ๏ฟผ

The worldโ€™s largest freshwater beach never fails to serve up eye catching sunsets.

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

If you ever played with Lego as a kid, youโ€™re going to love this episode of #WildAboutWildlife. Weโ€™re talking ๐Ÿข๐Ÿข๐Ÿข. Specifically a turtle with his own set of wheels. Look out ๐Ÿ‡! Rootโ€™s coming for ya! #podcast #wildlifeconservation

That time when youโ€™re 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!

Words cannot express how full my ๐Ÿ’œ is, getting to hang out with my niece & her family. We played in the hammock, hide & seek, tried to feed wood chips to the ducks, โ€œTheyโ€™re โ€™chipsโ€™ Auntie Kathy!โ€ & explored new depths at the beach.
Life is good!

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 arenโ€™t 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.

In a sea of brown lawns, why some natural gardeners are bringing messy back | CBC News To water or not to water? Turns out, that may not be the question. As abnormally dry weather sweeps across much of the countryย this summer, is it still responsible to maintain a grass lawn?

Yes! The only time grass needs watering is when seeds/sod are newly planted. We have to get over our aversion to brown lawns. Plant drought resistant native species instead!

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?

Summer weekends = girls weekends!
So thankful to spend time hiking, beaching, playing games, cooking up feasts, exploring book stores & just hanging with friends from high school (while missing one member of our flock who needed to be with her own flock this year).

Itโ€™s National Cat Day so today Iโ€™m celebrating my fur baby and her innate ability to know when I need help making the bed. I swear itโ€™s her super power.
Whatโ€™s your fur babyโ€™s untapped skill?

Iโ€™m hopeful for an end to conflicts in Ukraine & the Middle East; healthcare for a neighbour struggling with mental health issues; the survival of baby wrens born at my cottage & a long run into the fall for the Blue Jays

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 Iโ€™m 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 itโ€™s here!
Today Iโ€™m thankful for neighbours who look after my yard and collect my mail while Iโ€™m out of town.
What are you thankful for?

None of us gets to where we are without help along the way. Very fulfilling to share some expertise Iโ€™ve gained at todayโ€™s training of the new volunteer communications team at the Canadian Red Cross, preparing them to support emergency responses across ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ.
