My new garden that is designed to be bee, butterfly, bird, and small-mammal friendly, is coming along slowly. I had hoped for a big change when Cathy and I got home from 14 days away, but it was disappointing. Facebook Memories was a big help to me this morning,...

Sometimes it takes a friend to help you get un-stuck. Having tea with a friend has done that for me, and here’s the second little post as a result. It’s really easy to get flat during the winter. Even Bella and Tucker do – and despite having a house...

I have too much stuff, and it’s been a constant source of stress, particularly since I got injured 4 years ago. I made some significant reductions to it last year, but there’s much more to deal with. Over the past few days, Cathy and I have finally dealt with...

A Facebook Memory this morning sent me back into a folder of images I hadn’t looked at for a long time. It contains 222 scans of Kodachrome slides I shot in January 1991 during a dog-sled expedition into the remote Blaeberry Valley west of Golden, BC, at the western...

My life is rather in chaos this summer for a variety of reasons, and two of my major trips have been cancelled so far. On Thursday, July 4th, though, I finally got away with the motorhome in the early afternoon. I headed west on the Alaska Highway, but with...

A bad case of writer’s block put me a month behind on the blog, but I think I’m just going to skip most of what happened during that month as far as blogging goes, and move on. Yesterday, the Pride Parade was held in Whitehorse, and it was extremely...

We got home from our 59-day RV trip around British Columbia and western Alberta on June 23rd. We’ve already been on another 5-day outing to Kluane Lake, which allowed me time to finish off my blog posts from the big trip, and now I want to finish off the...

It’s been almost 2 months since I last posted here. That’s one of my longest absences ever, but as my long-time readers probably know, it’s not because there’s nothing going on. It’s actually just the opposite – my life is so crazy that I hardly know which way is...

Being retired is wonderful. I work as hard as I ever did, but I only do things that I enjoy. Well, mostly. Toilets and woodstoves still need cleaning 🙂 I’ve just taken on a big new project that you’re going to want to see photos of. Before that starts...
