It’s Been Cold

Posted on April 24, 2024 by Linda

There has been a similar pattern for the past week. We’re finally seeing a “warming trend”. We just got home…

It’s a Dry Cold

Posted on April 24, 2024 by Linda

The unseasonable and sometimes record-breaking run of mild weather we’ve been enjoying here in Saskatchewan has come to an end. The forecast for this week is a tad chillier than we’ve grown used to so far this winter. Here’s what it looks like in Celsius: And for those of you who are used to seeing…

The Situation On a Snowy Sunday Afternoon

Posted on February 5, 2024 by Linda

It’s early Sunday afternoon as I write this and it’s been snowing since early yesterday. We’re hunkered down at home and it’s been a delightful opportunity to get lost in a book. I just finished one and am pondering what to dive into next. I’ve been binging on psychological thrillers (this author in particular) for…

On the Day Before the Day Before Christmas

Posted on December 23, 2023 by Linda

Just popping in to share this seasonal photo of our girl, Molly, share some random stuff, and wish you a Merry Christmas. I’m finding it difficult to believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve.

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.
