A diary of the second half of life. A life that includes swimming, knitting, parenting, depression, love, humour, faith, and grace. Not necessarily in that order. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. Socks from one hemisphere to another. I met Wendy of the Rock. While doing the NaBloMo blogging challenge last November. Even though I am enjoying the hottest, driest summer on my back porch, of course she is 'enjoying' winter in her neck of the woods. I had enough yarn left over to knit another pair for me. What a lov...

About 18 months ago we installed a bird feeder. It has been a delight for us watching the birds change with the seasons, getting to know what they are and their quirky little personalities. I have been tending them all summer. The sunflower is putting out many heads and happily following the sun. So is it a pumpkin?

If wishes were horses then beggars would ride. This adage has been rumbling around in my brain this week. I think I first heard it from my mother, but I can't be certain. I know it is one I have repeated to others time and again. This has been a difficult week (and it is only Wednesday! Someone I love very much was ...

Breathing Life: Just don't lie to me

A diary of the second half of life. A life that includes swimming, knitting, parenting, depression, love, humour, faith, and grace. Not necessarily in that order. Monday, August 17, 2015. Just don't lie to me. I can take a lot. The thought that people lie. That is a hard one. Sure, you will say. Everyone lies. True, I guess. but there are lies, and there are Lies. It is hard when someone claims to lie to spare my feelings. Or to spare their's. It was hard to acknowledge that I lie. To make a story better.

Breathing Life: Keeping them safe

A diary of the second half of life. A life that includes swimming, knitting, parenting, depression, love, humour, faith, and grace. Not necessarily in that order. Saturday, August 8, 2015. When my children were little I did my best to keep them safe and to be there when they needed me. I put aloe on their sunburns, and made oatmeal baths when they had chicken pox. I gave them cool baths when their fevers were too high, and ran the steamer all through the night when they had croup. They are both adults now.

Monday, August 3, 2015. 50 Shades of Breathing Life. Lily Pups Life posted her 50 Shades. And it sounded like an interesting idea, so here are mine. 1) I love Mexican Coca Cola. It tastes more cinnamony to me than the regular stuff. 2) I had a border collie, Maggie, for sixteen years. She was the best dog ever. 14) My father died when I was sev...

Finished Object Friday - it was a close one. Last summer I bought some lovely sock yarn. At 67 grams I realized it wasn't really enough for a pair of socks, and since it was a one off from an independent dyer I put it aside. So first sock done. When I measure how much yarn it took this was what I got:. I started anoth...

A diary of the second half of life. A life that includes swimming, knitting, parenting, depression, love, humour, faith, and grace. Not necessarily in that order. Sunday, June 28, 2015. A thermostat sets the temperature. A thermometer takes the temperature. I remember once hearing the saying that when you enter a room you should be a thermostat, not a thermometer. It made sense at the time. Last week I realized. I AM A THERMOMETER. Well, that can't be good. But I stopped myself. It works for me. And my b...
