Friday Afternoon

Posted on April 8, 2022 by Linda Hoye

It’s early Friday afternoon as I write this and, after a busy morning, I’m ready for a break. Seems like a good time to pop in and say “hello!”. I’ve spent the morning working on Story Circle Network business–wrapping up the blog competition (winners will be announced next week) and getting ready for the poetry…

Waiting on the Fever

Posted on March 26, 2022 by Linda Hoye

I wouldn’t say I’ve got the fever yet, but I’m on the verge. Gerry’s spent the past couple of days out in the backyard modifying and enlarging our garden space. Makiya was out there with him today, and will join the effort again tomorrow afternoon. Meanwhile, I’m visualizing tucking tiny seeds into the ground and…

A Creative Sunday Afternoon

Posted on March 6, 2022March 6, 2022 by Linda Hoye

Losing My Mind

Posted on February 5, 2022 by Linda Hoye

Well, I did it. I put up our two non-traditional trees, one in the living room and the other in the snug (aka den). Later, when the day gets dark too early, the glow of the white LED lights will warm the rooms. Cue the hygge. It’ll look something like this (I captured this image…

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 am intentional about looking past what seems ordinary to discover that which is anything but. I believe grace abounds, joy sparkers show up when I remain open to seeing them, and God calls me beloved even when I feel like I don’t measure up to receive that kind of love.
