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

NO WHAM BANG, THANK YOU MA’AM
I don’t often write movie reviews. Actually I’ve never written one. This isn’t a review. Last night the mister was stepping out to a book reading at Turning the Tide Bookstore on Arthur Manual’s book Unsettling Canada: A National Wake-Up Call. A … Continue reading

We are such creatures of habit. Any little change takes so much effort. At least it is so for me. I don’t agonize but I do fret and hesitate too much over small things. I’m happy to report my hesitation … Continue reading

CLEARING
It’s another log- rolling out of bed, achy and crusty-eyed morning. Almost 7 and it is dark. The sun has not risen. Still, I am a happy camper. I’m minus that yucky, sense of dread in the body feeling. Have … Continue reading
IN MY LIFE
I’m in my apres- lunch malaise. It is after 3 pm. No time to tarry as they say. I’m in this space, tapping the keyboard, talking with my fingers, singing my songs. I hear Killing Me Softly with His Song … Continue reading
