Do you like to complain about politics? Do you like to talk about the lies and disappointments brought on by our politicians? Do you live in British Columbia? Then you need to vote today. (If you are allowed to do so, obviously.) If you vote, you can complain about how the winning party - who… Continue reading A Message to B.C. Voters

Why I Hate “Beach Reads”
A day off and a sunny afternoon. Sitting on my deck, plus 20 degree weather, a yummy berry smoothie. It occurred to me that Gabriel Garcia Marquez' News of a Kidnapping was kind of a dark read on such a beautiful day. Not that anyone should be surprised that a true story of kidnappings in… Continue reading Why I Hate “Beach Reads”
Puppy Update
If you don't like pictures of an adorable puppy, you won't like this post. This weekend we got to hang out with Bella. Every time she heard the click of my camera she would have to come over to investigate. This picture makes me laugh. She can get a pretty good "crazy eye" at times.
The Magic of Sunshine
If you live somewhere along the West Coast of North America right now, I'm willing to bet your favourite form of social media is full of happy statements. Mine is, at least, and it's due quite wholly to the amazing weather we had this weekend/are still having right this minute. Sunshine can make a pretty… Continue reading The Magic of Sunshine
Spring in the Garden
Practising my manual controls on the camera and enjoying the flowers in our garden. It would seem that the tree at our front door is a lilac tree. Looking into the heart of a tulip. My favourite flower. I think it's neat that we have a magnolia tree but I also kind of don't like… Continue reading Spring in the Garden
Puppy Envy
Some girls have baby-envy. Some young couples, when they're out and about, check out babies and toddlers and talk about when they'll have their own. I have puppy envy. Peter and I point out other people's dogs to each other and discuss the day when we'll have our own dog. It's close but it's not… Continue reading Puppy Envy
Good Morning
A cool, quiet morning. The weekend brought us rain, hail, lightning, and an all-night power outage. The sun showed its sheepish face yesterday and looks like it might hang around for a few more days. I am enjoying my beautifully normal life and a day off.
A Walk at Low Tide
Another sign of spring around here? Low tide. And I mean looowww tide. A tide so low I could practically walk to the general store from our house (which is located across the bay from us). It gives us a much larger front yard to explore. And underwater treasures to be discovered... The rocky island… Continue reading A Walk at Low Tide
What Easter Looked Like
Porpoises chasing a school of fish past the house. As we were getting ready for church Sunday morning I hear my brother-in-law yelling, "Porpoises! There's porpoises out front!" and we all rushed to the front windows. (Yes, we live in the same town as my in-laws and yes, we stayed the weekend with them for… Continue reading What Easter Looked Like
He Has Risen
"Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen." Luke 24:5 Easter. I love this holiday. I love the chocolate and the flowers and the sunshine. But I love it most because this weekend is central to what I believe, central to the faith that I build… Continue reading He Has Risen
