It's almost here!

Last night there was the most incredible thunderstorm! I love storms :) When I was young I would lay awake and watch them through my window, and was always upset if I happened to sleep through one. Well last night about 10pm, there was a huge roll of thunder, and initially I thought "it can't be thunder, it's too early in the season". Was I ever wrong, there was thunder and lightning well into the evening. Actually, I fell asleep to the rumbles and sporadic light show through my window. This means spring, and even summer is close! I am starting to get really excited for warmer weather (I generally prefer cool crisp days, to the hot humid summer we get around here). But until then I am happy to layer up and grab a chai latte for the trip!

Check back later on for another weekend workshop!

Happy Green Day!

I am not Irish, nor do I have a dominant Irish heritage. Also, I am not a big drinker. So for me St. Patrick's Day really just makes me think of Green, and Shamrocks... Plants! And recently it has been warm, almost spring like, so this year St. Patrick's Day is making me think of the planting season to come. Last year I planted a small veggie garden, but I planted it late, and had to buy a number of seedlings, that were slightly overgrown. So this year I am going to start early and grow my own seedlings, so when the ground is ready I will have seeds and seedlings ready to go. I am so excited! I will keep you updated as I work!

Keep dreaming about warm days and late sunsets!

Through my Lens (Cape St. Mary's)

This is a beautiful spot where many seabirds stop on their way to or from breeding or wintering locations; located on the south-west tip of the Avalon Peninsula. I was amazed at the number of birds that I saw as well as how vast the ocean seemed from where I stood on the cliffs.
