Friday’s Fave Five – June 7

Posted on June 7, 2024November 9, 2024 by Linda

It’s been a while since I shared a Friday’s Fave Five post, so thought I’d pop in with one today. The overarching theme of the week around here has been wind. It kept me indoors and away from my backyard garden sanctuary—disappointing, yes—but with a little intention I’m sure I can come up with five…

A Cosy June

Posted on June 4, 2024November 9, 2024 by Linda

I wake in the morning thinking about things I want to accomplish in the coming day, hoping the list is on the shorter side. By design, it usually is. This morning: a couple of emails to tend to, share the draft newsletter for InScribe Christian Writers’ Fellowship with the executive, put a pot of chicken…

Ordinary Time

Posted on June 1, 2024November 9, 2024 by Linda

I have a tendency to overcomplicate and wrestle with the paradox between embracing divine mystery and dotting all i’s and crossing t’s in terms of theology. What did Jesus mean when he said this? Where is God in this situation? Why did God do this? Was that even God’s doing? What does God want me…

Intention

Posted on May 31, 2024November 9, 2024 by Linda

It’s been a good week. Coffee with friends on Sunday afternoon, photographing storm clouds, and visiting and enjoying lunch with my cousin and her husband in Swift Current yesterday. These delights peppered amidst mornings spent planting and puttering and wandering in the garden with a mug of coffee looking for new growth. Some days, windows…

Ask AI No Questions And It’ll Tell You No Lies

Posted on May 25, 2024November 9, 2024 by Linda

There’s an inviting blue circle where the familiar hourglass on the social media app on my phone once was. Ask Meta AI anything or Search, it invites and, going a step farther, he/she/it presents options based on the algorithm. Best outdoor furniture. Digital photography tips. What makes D.S. Motors unique? (I have no idea who…

An Afternoon In The Old Neighbourhood

Posted on May 17, 2024November 9, 2024 by Linda

The moment I see it on my Facebook feed, I know I’ll go. Gerry and I don’t, as a rule, go to garage sales, but one held in the Christian education center attached to the church where I was baptized (the first time), where I attended Sunday School as a kid, went to Brownies, and…

Hi, I’m Linda Hoye. Welcome! I live in Saskatchewan, Canada with my husband and our Yorkie, Molly. Retired from my corporate career, I appreciate having time and opportunity to fill my days with things that nourish my soul and spirit like writing. watercolour painting, reading, gardening, and blogging about the simple joys of every day. I’ve been blogging since 2008, starting fresh here in 2022 when we moved home to Saskatchewan. May this space be a sanctuary in a very noisy world. 😊
