Dream Space: September 2012

It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." Henry David Thoreau. Tuesday, September 18, 2012.

We live in a country where water is readily available; so much so that we take it for granted. Turn on a tap – Voila! So for today, while there is a lovely fire burning and my dog and I snuggled under blankets, I am thankful for the rain.

It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." Henry David Thoreau. Friday, September 23, 2011. We were in Southampton the day the tornado touched down in Goderich. These photographs were taken the night of the storm. It's hard to believe that in such beauty was the potential for terrible destruction. The picture below was taken the day after the storm. The sky was still quite wild and unsettled. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Muskoka Arts and Crafts Inc. Heather of the Hills.

The temperature is to drop to 0 degrees C, with the risk of frost tonight! I started a fire in the woodstove to keep the basement warm as the temperature drops steadily throughout the day.

I became thoughtful as I pondered that not only did I find it hard to make a decision on where I was going in the bush, I was lost in my life as well. Where was I going, and how did I get here? I had to admit to myself after ta...
