Fall Changes

It has been awhile since I last posted.  Life has been busy and writing has been put on hold as we try and get everything done.  I thought I would write an update on what has been happening around here, before the snow flies.

Exploring

Exploring

We are fortunate to live near the St.Lawrence river, where on July 1, 1958 a portion of the river was flooded during the St.Lawrence Seaway Project.  During the 3-4 days that it took for the river to swell into the river/lake we see today it covered and submerged 10 small communities and over 200 farms.  One of those communities was the town of … [Read more...]

Sharing a Garden – Part 1

There are many different reasons why people may decide to share a garden.  For us and our family it allows for diversity in the vegetables that we have access to, and allows us to share some of the workload.  Between my sisters and my mother we have five gardens on the go, all beautiful and unique.  Over the next week or so I would like to share … [Read more...]

Friday Fun

Today was a beautiful day, so we packed up the kids and dogs to head out to my parents place for a walk in the bush. Our walk started out great, until we realized the snow in the bush has not melted as quickly as we thought.  Lori and I kept breaking through to our knees and sometimes our thighs, not a leisurely walk.  We made it to the lane way … [Read more...]
