  • Tastes of the season....

    May is one of my favorite seasons with rain storms, lacy green networks of budding trees, lengthening days, warmer temperatures and NO bugs to disturb the outdoor pursuits.

    Among these pursuits are culinary and social ones....the first outdoor meal on the front deck of yams, spicy chicken breast, peppered brussell sprouts, coucous, local Alley kat beer followed by an outdoor fire and chat with new neighbours or.... a farewell dinner for Kevin who just landed a head brewery job back in  the cottage country of Ontario after 8 months in Allberta. Black beans and rice enjoyed by Makayla, our first get together since my return from the north, stayed overnight and dropped her off at the new school this morning.

    Robert did the chicken frahitas and I the fruit salad.

    There were shared stories of teaching experiences in northern BC to how Jr. High gym & Home Ec. classes have changed over the years ( what was your first sewing or woodworking project? ) to details of hops, grain and malt production and travels in Germany and Czech republic.

About me...

An Albertan & Canadian, definitely a northern gal. Social worker by profession, this blog has included some of my work over 10 years in Nunavut from 2002 on. Passionate about slowing down & taking time to appreciate the beauty of the outdoors or kindness in relationships as gifts & blessings; injustices against children in situations beyond their control; my faith; Nature, experiencing the outdoors whether cycling, walking. x-c skiing or gardening, my dogs, capturing on film God's beauty, experiencing life intensely & with the senses, richness of late afternoon light, wind in my hair cycling with my dog on a beach road, couching inches from an arctic flower or alpine lichen to capture it with my camera, insight of a student's new learning, a good conversation over a coffee.
