Summer's Here

How to tell you’ve got cabin fever
  • It’s 20 degrees and snowing when you left this morning but it feels like spring
  • You’ve started knitting a hat for spring weather
  • You’re currently sorting through projects you haven’t touched in years looking for one to finish/discard
  • You’ve been baking up a storm
  • You’re pouring over seed catalogues and diagramming gardens
  • You’re counting down the days till the baby chicks arrive at the farm store
  • You step in every mud puddle you can find because it’s MUD
  • You’re tempted to buy green veggies shipped from New Zealand because their green and springy
  • You forget to turn the hot water on in the shower until you get in
  • You run out to get the mail without your shoes on
  • You picked out a skirt to wear until you realized you’d freeze before you even made it to the bus stop
  • You think warm weather is almost here…in another three months

  1. You and your anti-winteryness lol

    You've inspired me to take an anti-summer stance :)

Earth Day aka "Green Love" 2008

Leafy Tree Pendant from OneElf Earth Day’s fast approaching and I’m super excited. My ‘hug a tree’ shirt’s ready and waiting and I’m impatiently counting down the hours. Yes I’m a giant geek, but it’s the one day where spreading the green love is totally socially acceptable. Although I will still try and refrain from yelling at people who chuck plastic bottles in the trash; I will not refrain from rolling my eyes at people who look at me funny when I remove perfectly good rolls of wrapping paper from the trash. It’s going to be fun. However since it is Earth Day I know everyone’s being berated with things like ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ and ‘turn the water off when you brush your teeth’. Important, yes, but I think there’s a bit of a bigger picture that gets missed in all that, so I’m going for something different. I’m not going to talk about it, at least not today. Today I’m talking about worms. Yes, I’m finally writing a real entry about something, and yes it’s about worms. ...

12 on 12: September 2015

         I had forgotten to do my 12 on 12 on the 12th this month so when I went out on Saturday I was only all too willing to get a bit snap happy. The day started out back in my old neighborhood at the annual library book sale. I stocked up and then we headed to my favorite places to shop: the farmers market, Trader Joes, and Wegmans. After that, we stopped off at the Stone Quarry Hill Art Park since Saturday was also the Smithsonian's annual Museum Day Live . The park was beautiful, we had a nice walk and even ran into a wedding party. We took the long way home and had a great time meandering through the country looking at old barns, cows, and windmills.

Oh Canada… thank you for your awesomness

I’ve gone and fallen in love with Flashpoint .  I hadn’t intended to.  It started out a lot like most other things with me watching a couple of episodes with *insert favorite actor here* (Pacale Hutton, in this case, for those of you who are wondering).  The episodes were good, really good, but I chalked it up to the amount of glee I had over cop uniforms and the CN Tower.  I’m really not hard to please when it comes to all things Canadian, but then I watched another episode.  I had an hour before bed, no biggie, but one turned into two, I feel in love with the characters and I was hooked.  And since it’s been awhile since we’ve had some Canada <3 on this blog, here’s a bit of Toronto themed goodness.
