Apples

Posted on September 11, 2023 by Linda Hoye

I just put an apple crisp in the oven. The aroma of baking apples is quintessential autumn to me. 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.

Friday’s Fave Five- August 18

Posted on August 18, 2023 by Linda Hoye

Since we’re past the 15th, we’re now officially in late-August. I feel it. Gerry commented this week that he feels it too. Change is in the air.

Mid-July . . . and a nod to the girl I was and the woman I am

Posted on July 22, 2023 by Linda Hoye

After morning watering, I harvested the first of many Sugar Plum tomatoes from the garden and plucked the first cucumber from the vine.

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!
