We Have Bunnies

Posted on June 27, 2026 by Linda

They are the cutest little things. And they appeared—as if by magic—in our backyard earlier this week. But of course it wasn’t magic, and the only logical explanation is that they were born here. Somewhere. Somehow. By some bunny. They don’t belong in our backyard. Molly is beside herself. “This is what my terrier self…

I’m Back

Posted on June 12, 2026 by Linda

My goodness. It’s been almost two months since I tapped out a post here. How did that happen? I didn’t intend to take a break, but it appears that’s what’s happened. The longest break since I started blogging in 2008, in fact. But here I am, back again, to this space that always feels like…

You’ve Got A Story To Tell

Posted on April 11, 2026April 11, 2026 by Linda

A few days ago, a blizzard blew through. Today, all evidence of the storm has disappeared and I’m sitting on the back deck writing this post. Earlier, I sowed the first seeds of the season in the garden (there are more growing under lights downstairs, but these are the first in the garden.) That’s spring…

Posted on April 6, 2026 by Linda

When I’m making the bed, I open the blinds down to let the morning sun fill the room. Later, when I’m in the ensuite doing my hair, blinded by the sun, I’ll close them temporarily but for the moment I pause to look at the frosty roofs of our neighbour’s houses and notice the contrast…

Recovering From the Weekend

Posted on March 23, 2026 by Linda

I smile when I see posts illustrating busy weekends. We had them once too, not so much now, thank the good Lord. I understand the need to fit it all in on the two non-work days of the week, but that’s no longer our life, and we don’t have young family living nearby so there’s…

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. 😊
