Well, get ready island people, batten down the hatches, as the storm winds are about to hit us tomorrow. That is what the weather people are saying way up there in their weather towers, the powers that be, to let us know that Hurricane Teddy will be leaving a bit of a windy wake. HowContinue reading “Calm Before the Storm”

Well here we go. I just put some garbage in the bin outside and as I walked back, I noticed a red and gold colour…on my maple tree!!! Not just one leaf mind you but a few as I looked up and up (and I’ll call Rusty). When did that happen?? A big grin crossedContinue reading “I Saw the Sign”

Oh happy day. Oh happy day. This time last Monday, it was my final day of self-isolation. I started on a Tuesday and so I thought maybe Tuesday but Wednesday for sure but lo and behold…I got the call. You are good to go. So I got in my car as my daughter lives justContinue reading “I’m free…woohoo”

Good morning to you, September Sunday. A day of rest if you welcome this day as the Lord’s Day. That’s today. Can you hear the silence? Loud silence. There is a stillness right now, a hesitation in the movement of the day before its routine and flow begin once again. Thankfully it is not myContinue reading “It’s Quiet”

Have you ever heard of that phrase? I usually touch my head (kind of a silly superstition) as I make a statement about something or other so that things will work out okay, not just be a fluke.

Everything that was sharp and crisp now takes on a mellowness including the warmth of the sun. Cool evenings and dewy mornings with a bit of a bite in theContinue reading “Oh September!! How are you?”

Not sure why I am thinking this way today but I am. I think I have a terrible way of greeting the day or people or things in some respects. Usually, I just get up and do. I would describe myself as a plugger….I just plug away at things until it gets done. I tendContinue reading “Greeting the Day”

I have to say that I am loving the day once again. It is cool this morning as even my bathroom heater went on automatically. Are you kidding me!!! It is not FALL yet but my goodness the air has a bit of a bite in it. You kind of pay attention to things whenContinue reading “Quirky Things about Me”

Cool out!!!! When was the last time that I could say that. I woke up this morning and what did my wandering eyes did appear but….no wrong story. Well I did wake up and boy there was a bit of a chill in the air. Is it real? Can I say there is a breakContinue reading “Woohoo it is a bit cool”

Just got back from my early morning walk with Maggie May. Back into a routine once again; routine, a wee bit of peace to the heart. Oh boy I loved the wandering along Cape Road as I took a peek over the wheat field to my left, seeing the rounded orangy red sun tip itsContinue reading “Oh for the mornings”
