Like a drowned rat
Toronto had one heck of a storm yesterday. In my totally failed effort to beat the storm home, I only took 2 photos. This is from my balcony, as they were trying to bring the Kajama in to berth before things got too messy. This…
Just dabbling
On the trip last weekend I was blown away by having got both this photo: And this photo: And I spent a good chunk of the trip dreaming of, and madly pursuing, having northern lights, stars and fireflies all in the same photo. I wanted…
Canada Day Road Trip
Every year for 3 years going now Tito and I have maintained a tradition of road tripping for Canada Day – what better way to celebrate it? Here are some highlights from the weekend :) A panorama in Lake Superior Provincial Park. The cliff face…
Canada Day Marathon
This weekend for Canada Day we are driving to Winnipeg. Yup. Winnipeg. By car. Whenever I tell this to someone, the answer is an incredulous ‘why?!’ (with a few exceptions among the very coolest people I know). The answer is because it’s gorgeous. From Sault…
In Lieu of a proper post…
I give you an unimpressed guinea hen. This photo was taken last weekend at the ‘Art in the Vineyard’ show at Frogpond farms, and I promise you there are many more gorgeous photos to share, as soon as I can get 2 minutes to…
Blog Lovin’ ?
Yep – I’m on it! And this is me. And just so I don’t feel like the entire post was shameless plugging, here’s a lovely photo of the yarn display we just made (full DIY details coming soon!)

It’s been 2 years since we closed on the condo, and it’s taken all this time to realize that it’s actually ours and we can do whatever we like with it :) So we’re starting the expensive and exciting reno-phase! This was the bedroom when…
Another day on the farm
We treated ourselves to a lovely selection of Kim’s jams and jellies (lemon blueberry lychee, strawberry kiwi, apple mango chutney…mmm!) A few bottles of wine from Frogpond Farm. Of course Tito was nice enough to carry it all :) Kim and I are clearly 3…
Frogpond Farm
We had another lovely day at the Gryphon Ridge Highland Farm last Saturday – and as a treat we were invited to a wine tasting at Frogpond Farm, Ontario’s first certified organic winery. A quick visit to their site shows that they are passionate about…
Love knows no, uh, bounds.
The pig is a shy little rescue pot belly pig named Wilbur. The cow is an uncharacteristically unfriendly highland cow named Utopia who insists on looking at me like I owe her 20 bucks. They’re in love.
Puttin’ on some fresh lipstick.
The Blue Brick has a (slightly) new look! Thought it was time to freshen up – what do you guys think?
