Author: Linda Hoye

I’m a writer, reader, creative, and unapologetic homebody. I thought by now I’d have things figured out, but I keep coming up with more questions. I think that’s okay.

Tuesday Thoughts

Posted on September 19, 2023 by Linda Hoye

It must be (almost) fall because I’m nesting. It’s been a long time since I baked, but I’m browsing recipes and made a Starbucks copycat lemon loaf today. (Gerry deems the recipe to be “a keeper.”) There’s a piece of paper on my countertop with the start of a small grocery list. Icing sugar and…

For the Birds

Posted on September 16, 2023 by Linda Hoye

Gerry and I attend a presentation sponsored by the Moose Jaw Nature Club about birdwatching.

In previous years, I’d work my way through boxes of B.C. apples by making crisps, pies, applesauce, not to mention eating them raw and crisp. This morning, while I peeled apples, I reflected back on all…

About Me

I’m a wife, mom, grandma, adoptee, Yorkie mom, writer, reader, photographer, gardener, and (after a 50-year absence) a grateful Saskatchewan resident. I work at looking past what’s ordinary to see that which is anything but. I believe joy sparkers abound when we remain open to seeing them!
