The above photo is of a tree that was here when we moved in. It was, at that time, well above the eavestrough on the front of the house but had sick branches and was out of control so one fall I “trimmed” it back. I had just bought new hedge cutters and must admit [Read more]

Well, kind of. I think they will come to call it home before much time passes. It was after all Sylvia’s home for many years of her childhood so it is fitting that like all ‘Wadgeians she has returned and brought her family with her. I worked with Henry years ago. Well, again, kind of. [Read more]
Well, I’ve put off giving myself my B12 shot long enough!

If I had to single out one activity as Emeraude’s favourite, it would definitely have to be Play-doh. Any opportunity she has to choose an activity whether home, at the family place or at her Dad’s Play-doh is always her first choice. I must add that it is also a favourite of mine. If [Read more]
Emeraude was thrilled last weekend when Daddy invited her to a campout in his backyard. I went by in the evening to say goodnight and found them roasting marshmallows by the fire (too cute) with her in her pj’s, I couldn’t resist returning with my camera. The [Read more]
The kids and I could’ve been postal workers; neither snow, nor sleet, nor wind, nor rain… HAHA. Nothing stops our fun outside (well, short of me being unable to stand but if my legs are working, even just a little, we’re out there). This evening the flies were terrible and it had [Read more]
