The Power of Words—and more rain

Posted on July 10, 2019 by Linda Hoye

And . . . it’s raining. It’s a strange summer that’s unfolding. I spend time organizing my manuscript, my writing paraphernalia, and recipes because I’m setting intentions in the kitchen too.

Gathering Rosebuds

Posted on July 9, 2019 by Linda Hoye

Posted on February 10, 2019 by Linda Hoye

Empty, and hungry for words, I troll the waters and snag some sweet ones with a description of a field in February that delights. And I remember leaning over flowers in a courtyard little more than a week ago, and one of the images I captured then that might pair nicely with the verses. And I…

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!
