Another Day, Another Snowfall?

Yep, snow, snow and more snow.
It isn’t really that surprising as it is winter and all, but still, could we not have one day or sun?

Currently I am working on folding 1200 fliers to send [...]

Sad Day in the Chicken Coop

Where do chickens go when they die? I’m not talking about the factory chickens that end up in your grocers freezer, but more the ones that are well taken care of and die of natural causes…
Yesterday one of our dear old girls decided she had had enough of living – maybe a case of [...]

At the end of the [...]

Change of Pace

What a wonderful weekend.  A surprise trip to Niagara Falls, Ontario.
Ok, not a complete surprise as I knew where we were going, but a surprise as I was only told Thursday evening
It has been a long time since I was in Niagara Falls last – I guess sometimes you just need to check [...]

Chilly Days…Ment for Sewing

You must admit that on days when it is so cold outside it is perfect to sit and sew…or curl up under a quilt with a book and a cup of tea…
I’ve been working on a new bag that I will show you soon!
Even Magnum, my Boxer thought it was cold so he decided that [...]
