  • Unbelievably glad to reach Friday!

    Continue to be amazed on how amazed how energetic one can be on a long weekend and how zapped one can be that first day back at work!

     

    But if I look comparatively last year at this time I was just getting out of subacute rehab in Ottawa and painfully touring the tulip festival on crutchessad ( and making friends with ADLs of walkers, wheelchairs, bathroom rails ). The only prop left at this point is a trusty cane or two or ski pole for those slippery dog walks!happy

     

    Updating the blog is not always done as frequently these days but hope you enjoy some of my photos.

     

    So some highlights of last weekend…saw my first robin, cleaned house and yard, walked an outdoor labyrinth, dinner with a friend on her way north, walked in the inner city stations of the Cross with dogs and shared a family Easter dinner.

     

    ...all in all some very good days off!

    Seven stations through the inner city with hymns, prayer and reflections on healing, homelessness, poverty, school lunches and social justice.

    I especially like this photo as this couple both in scooters shared dog biscuits with my two.

    A labyrinth is not a maze but a simple outdoor circular pattern of paths that one walks slowly to the center and out.

     

    This mallard drake and mate landed just as I was leaving.

     

    From the family Easter dinner.


    My sister Maureen put it all together

    Wonderful bunny angel food cakeDelightful and decadant!

     

    The daughter and her boyfriend or as she candidly refers to him as"the boy I like" have a long distance relationship and she made a surprise visit to Edmonton. 

    Here they are just back from weekend in Jasper.

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.
