This is a reminder for me to remember that I live in Saskatchewan, Canada. The colour orange of a tiger lily, the dark petals, the strong centre, the outburst showing, that beauty is stronger, than any thing I fear, for I live in the province of Saskatchewan and our country Canada, the land of the […]

placating the norm
A little church alongside a secondary road appeared on our drive in the countryside on Sunday afternoon. We were wanting to get out of the house for a break from the “stay at home” law. You can still get away in your car and go for a drive, like we did. This was such a […]
head on straight
This is my best “thinking” and my best “doing” cap. It happens when I ride a horse. Any horse. If I am around a horse: If I am brushing a horse If I am doing ground work with a horse If I am saddling and tacking up If I am petting a horse If I […]
Latigo wars
My spouse does not agree with the way I do up the Latigo when unsaddling my horse. “It is not right” he says and it does drive him crazy. I am retraining myself to do it correctly. This is the correct way as shown on this video. Got it! I’m on it!
fragmented
My attention span is lessening a bit and I am working towards writing without getting up 5 times in-between. I an only writing 3 pages but still the attention is short. I am doing a bit of water colour painting but I draw a line or two and leave it until next day. Next day […]
it's not so bad on an acreage
Self isolating is okay when you live in the country. I can go outside and dress weird or incompletely and not comb my hair, talk to a horse and never think that I am in quarantine. Country living is a bit like living in isolation. Our neighbours are not next door they are a mile […]
5G and my mind
Have you heard about 5G coming. Faster, smoother, warp speed internet. First of all, because I am a rural, we won’t get that internet speed. We are, at best, on 3G. I can’t take any more fast social media. My mind is not equipped to handle the constant statistic updates and information, good or misleading […]
an interview with a puppet
I had to go to the grocery stores today because there was an emergency in toilet paper supply for my son’s paper mâché puppet you tube channel. His puppets are made with a lot of T.P. and newspaper and cardboard and white glue. He is panicking because he has some more puppets to remake and […]
I remember when….
I figured out and asked a lifeguard how to use this pool lap clock while swimming laps. Yup it works pretty great. Better than counting my lengths or laps and then losing track. I purchased this heavy warm bathrobe 5 years ago. I have to say it is cozy but also very heavy and I […]
no surgery decided for Morton’s Neuroma
I saw my orthopaedic surgeon in February. He gave me 3 options for my WIDE NERVE in my left foot. Yes that is what he said it really is. A nerve is widened due to fibrous tissue that wrapped itself on it. “It’s not that bad” he said. Here are the options: “Cortisone injection on […]
