If you stare hard enough at this picture, you will see a puppy-shaped rift in the space-time continuum.

Hey BlueSky, the universe has flung a puppy at me.

Meet our family’s newest addition, Makwa.

Snowy day and so many woodland creatures on the move!

I think these are rabbit tracks.

Well 2025 is nearly gone and what a year!

I reached a bunch of milestones and firsts with my writing and I am both proud and humbled by it.

I transitioned from an unpublished writer to a published writer with the debut of my sci-fi novel: THE MIDNIGHT PROJECT.

A bit of freezing rain last night and the roads are terrible. But they were calling for even more.

I love decorating the tree every year.

This ornament came to me from my grandmother. Always brings a smile.

Wild turkeys out in force today.

Quite a bit of ice still on the trees after last night’s freezing rain.
A branch covered in ice in the foreground with a single ice-covered leaf still clinging to it. In the background, a snow covered trail.

On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, I’m reflecting on the great contribution made by His Honourable Murray Sinclair, who headed the TRC and has done so much to discover and document the truth and point us all toward reconciliation.

He passed last November and is greatly missed.
