Thursday, September 13, 2012. It's not often that you hear someone say " These vegetables are delicious." This definitely has never occurred in my house - - though I dream of the day when my kids will eat some form of vegetable other than a carrot or something I have hidden in spaghetti sauce.

There were definitely some bungee cords used to keep the trunk from flying up. My very patient...So, f...

Monday, January 7, 2013. Why do we collect things? I was looking around my workspace today and I seemed to be surrounded by small collections. It got me thinking about the connections we have with THINGS and why we collect them. Well, it should come as no surprise that I have a collection of feathers. This is about three years in the making, of found feathers and gifted feathers, which is pretty amazing. :) I love each one! So many beautiful patterns. Some North American Blue Jay feathers.

Tuesday, April 23, 2013. Niagara Botanical Gardens First Visit of the Spring. We took our first visit of the season to the Niagara Botanical Gardens. We purchased a parking pass for $10, (which is good for an entire year! And brought the boys' bikes for the first time. A beautiful, sunny crisp Sunday.
