A Daybook

Posted on February 24, 2026February 25, 2026 by Linda

Years ago, I used to join Peggy with a The Simple Woman’s Daybook post now and then. She left the blog-o-sphere, but some continue the practice. It’s a good one, as it focuses one’s attention on the present as opposed to the nonsense “out there.” Looking out my window I see blue sky and sunshine….

Watching Paint Dry

Posted on September 19, 2025February 23, 2026 by Linda

I fill one more yellow bowl with ripe tomatoes (you know, one of those big old Tupperware ones that everyone has).

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. 😊

Every life holds stories worth preserving: ordinary moments, unexpected turns, people who shaped you, and lessons only time can teach. Whether you want to leave a legacy for your children and grandchildren, or just understand your own path more deeply, writing about your life is a journey worth taking. I’ve created a guide with prompts to help you capture those memories. It’s my gift to you, so you can leave a gift for them.
