Taking the Slow Way Home

Posted on May 7, 2023May 7, 2023 by Linda Hoye

Things happen fast. Here in southern Saskatchewan, we went from winter to summer in the about two weeks.

I woke to white, not what one wants to see in mid-April. Hello? Mother Nature? Are you listening?

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!
