A feature blog post on Call Me Curious! You may remember that I was interviewed about the themes in my book on a storytelling show on a Vancouver radio station, by my friend Tracey Wimperley- that was a few years ago. In my mind, Tracey is equal parts hilarious and insightful in real life (... Continue Reading →
It's the title of my book which came out almost 5 years ago and continues to be true to this day. I was standing in my greenhouse yesterday, Mother's Day, and I really felt so happy with all the changes that this house has helped me with. I no longer have space for two chairs... Continue Reading →

Greetings from the Spring garden, Just a few pictures to say hello from my garden on a weekend afternoon. I wish I could send along the beautiful fragrance over this post. Scent is so closely related to memory...this clematis reminds me of my wedding and my Mom doing all the flowers with the help of... Continue Reading →
Here are a few pictures from the last few days and some lovely Spring time walks. I just love the light behind Peter Rabbit's ears and whiskers.. And when we got back- well there's always time to do a little practice crocheting..
I just wanted to share with you some pictures of a recent September trip to SaltSpring Island. If you get a chance to go, I would really recommend it! Here's to local foods! Lise-Lotte
