I’ve always loved photo challenges! I’ve decided to put one together myself, on Instagram, for my favourite month - December! My favourite month for two reasons: my birthday and the jolly old fat man himself (don’t stop believin’!). It’s a magical month - the sights, the sounds, the smells (oh, the holiday baking!!). I love … Continue reading December 2021 ~ Photo Challenge

Who’s In The Coop?
About a month ago, I noticed some strange things happening in the coop. Things moved and missing; random holes and piles of gravel started to appear. I thought maybe I had another mole. Until one night I saw it, bold as bold can be - I have a RAT. OMG, a RAT! I've had mice, … Continue reading Who’s In The Coop?
DIY Natural Face Moisturizer
I was having a difficult time with dry, red facial skin and had tried many creams on the market to no avail. A friend suggested trying jojoba or almond oil mixed with lavender and cedarwood essential oils. Always willing to try new concoctions involving oils, I gave it the old college try. So I mixed … Continue reading DIY Natural Face Moisturizer
Do You Want To See My Chickens?
Sometimes at 3 am when I can't sleep, my mind starts to wander, and things get a little silly.

The Ultimate Re-Tweet
A few weeks ago I was feeling rather bored so I decided to head on down to the basement to sort through an old box of gardening magazines I had kicking around. I figured I'd save myself some money and re-read old issues of Canadian Gardening, which I subscribe too, rather than go and buy more. … Continue reading The Ultimate Re-Tweet
Sidetracked
This morning I sat down to do a little blogging and turned on Netflix for a little background noise...and I was totally sidetracked! In the 'recommend for us' portion was a short film called Moving Art: Flowers (by Louie Schwartzberg). If you haven't seen it you really should check it out! I was mesmerized. Any description … Continue reading Sidetracked
