It has certainly been a while since I added a post to my website. Time seems to fly by and here we are nearing December and I am already prepping for the Christmas season. Earlier this year we did try to sell our home but despite receiving a full offer the deal eventually collapsed. We […]
As we near the end of 2021 I once again reflect on the past year which always begins with a snowy scene in my front yard. The snow sticks around for a while until at least early March although my witch hazel flowers in February. It is at this time I start to look for […]
The Beach at Fintry Provincial Park I decided today to dedicate a post to the many colors of fall in both my garden, Fintry Delta and Fintry Provincial Park.
