Day 20 #icad2021. Working in series - geisha #6. One more to go in this series.Morning in the greenhouse. I feel the calming and soothing standing in the midst of green. The bitter melon is blooming, mostly male flowers. I spy one female high up. I climbed up to pollinate it with a brush. The flowers give off a fragrant scent like the jasmine. Here’s fingers crossed for an abundance of melons. The tomatoes are getting big but still green. There’s a new crop of little ones showing up. The eggplants are starting to bloom. The peppers growing tall. I have 3 little cukes on the Gateway cucumbers. Hope they will take. The Armenian cucumbers are climbing and climbing. Lots of blooms but all males so far. The scarlet runner beans are up to the roof. Lots of blooms but no beans. That’s ok. They’re putting on a show.Day 19 #icad2021. Working in series - geisha. She is in serious contemplation. I couldn’t make her smile. Life is somber now and then.My after Saturday morning swim look. I took more than the 30 second posted shower. Hair dried au naturelle. No mousse, gel or spray. My first swim in 6 months. Was heavenly.Day 97 of #the100dayprojectDay 18 of #icad2021. Working in series - geisha. I am happy making index card art. I am able let go of perfection, the desire to replicate. It delights me to see each geisha emerge with her own individual charm.I’m in the murder mystery reading mode - my favourite escape. I come up for air only.Day 17 of #icad2021. Working in series - geisha.Day 16 #icad2021. Working in series. Geisha.Day 96 of #the100dayprojectInstagram

BREATHLESS IN SASKATOON
This morning I am sipping dandelion tea made from roots dug this summer. Steel cut porridge is simmering on the stove. The aroma and steam from the cooking is soothing for my dry passages. No, my tryst with the cold … Continue reading

SURRENDERING TO THE TAO
Our household is up early this morning having gone to bed at 8:30 last night. That is what you do when you are sick, hoping to get better. It’s no wonder we’re wide awake before 5 am. You can only … Continue reading
Tête-à-Tête
It’s not quite Friday but it’s close enough for me. I’ve missed Friday Fictioneers for the last few weeks. I miss the telling of a story in 100 words. Once again, let me thank Rochelle Wisoff-Fields of Addicted to … Continue reading

I’m in trouble. I have my Chai. Feeling better, head clearing. I can feel things draining downward. But when I speak, I can hear my hoarse voice echo in my head. My ears pop and my eyes tear. When I … Continue reading

A LITTLE CANADA, A LITTLE FRANCE
It’s 6 o’clock Monday morning. I’m having my first cup of Chai since coming home. It’s hot and I can faintly taste its spiciness. The thing with a cold is it kills your taste buds and your sense of smell. My … Continue reading
MONDAY IN FRANCE
It’s Monday in France. We are down to 5 days before we head home. Time has been fast and slow at the same time. Sleep did not come again last night. This time then can be slow. I try to … Continue reading
SUNDAY IN FRANCE
It is Sunday in France. I am surviving the language barrier and time zone change somehow. Sleep finally came on its own last night. I’m feeling more at ease in another country and in another’s home. I am not a … Continue reading
SATURDAY IN FRANCE
It’s Saturday morning in La Celle-Sous-Chantermerle. The sun is shining brightly. I have been to the market with our hostess while Rod is out bicycling with the men. I am tap, tapping on my iPhone, getting proficient, doing almost everything … Continue reading
I DREAM OF ALICE
It’s a Friday in France. My apple cart is still upset, sleeping only every other night. What can you do when you fly over an ocean and cross time zones? Unfortunately my body is not a machine. It does not … Continue reading
