Yesterday we did a little road trip to Hecla Provincial Park, which is an island on the west side of Lake Winnipeg, connected to the mainland by a causeway. The big lake is still wide open water but inland, the ice is beginning to settle in. In a few days this pretty little marsh will be frozen solid. It's always a treat to see the transition actually happening, almost before your eyes! 11/03/20 www.jmcqueenphoto.com
I was sitting in that chair, watching the clouds roll in and wishing we didn’t have to leave, not so long ago .... Winters are too long, summers are too short. But there’s nowhere else I’d rather live :) 11/02/20 ps.. for those of you who may be wondering - our Gnome has left his rock and moved to his winter home, tucked safely inside the shed. I bet you were not aware that Gnomes hibernate, but clearly they do!
Looking back at a very special summer moment - sitting in our sunroom, enjoying the morning sun, listening to the birds and the waves, slowly savouring both my fresh coffee and this beautiful book - a very special gift from our dear friend, Judith Sparhawk. Your book is wonderful, Judith, so beautiful, so creative and so very you! I still read it often and it has a place of honour in my bookcase. I hope you don’t mind my sharing and mentioning you and your book … I just wanted to give you a little ‘visual’ of that lovely day when I first read your book. And again… say ‘Thank you’. 11/01/20
