  • Late Spring Night

    Just finished my work shift and here it is 11 PM an still somehow light in the sky! A glass of wine..Shiraz sitting on front deck! aha the glories of late spring and approaching an summer!

  • Long days

    Spring is my favourite seasonDSCN9328 and soon we approach the longest day where it is still even light at 10:30 pm. in northern Alberta.

    Since returning home from BC, my schedule has been full.DSCN9363 In the time off from work spent much of it in the yard, nurturing the tomato and marigold seedlings, most of which survived surprisingly. DSCN9272Lots of time in my own and other's gardens, from planting our urban fruit orchard DSCN9331to bedding plant sales.

    This gent put his tomato plants on his bike.DSCN9317

    Pansies are some of my favorites.DSCN9370It has been an exceedingly dry spring, apparently the driest in About 50 years so coming rains would be welcome!

    DSCN9262We did have snow though at the beginning of May! DSCN9259

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.
