Spring is Here!
The mornings are starting to get noisy around here. Canadian geese are squawking as they make their way back. Chickadees, Yellow Finches, Jays, Cardinals, and Robin’s have started singing their songs again. As we get into May, I expect more migratory birds to arrive. Then it will really be a symphony of birds in our…

Walking Through Winter
January…the first month if the year. So full of promises and wonder. On the South Shore of NS, this is when the temperatures usually get cold. The colder mornings, we huddle by the fire wrapped in blankets to warm ourselves. For some reason my nose always seems to take forever to warm up. It’s on…

Bathroom update!
Happy New Year everyone! Today we find ourselves a week into January. Already!!! I’ll never get used to how fast time seems to fly by. We had a good time over the holidays. Big plans were made to finish off the bathroom. We made the trip to Ikea to get the boxes for the vanity…

The happenings between the lines
Life never seems to go as planned. A yurt that once only took 3 months to get cozy and complete, now is into it’s 7th month. It’s definitely harder this time around. The land was raw and untouched, supplies haven’t been as easily available, and I don’t have access to any machine I need when…

Details Take Time

Hello everyone! Today my Dad surprised me with a stash of pictures he took while he was here with my Mom back in September. He took on the huge job of digging in our waterline. It was such a big job! We couldn’t have gotten it all done without him. So thankful! Here is the…

Much Accomplished
This past week so much has been accomplished! Pete had the week off work, and my parents came up for a visit from Ontario. With the extra help, we were able to get much farther than expected. My dad took on the project of burying the waterline. Pete brought our waterline inside and hooked up…

It’s been weeks!
3 weeks and no post. I really should set a schedule to make sure you all stay up to date. Things around here are going slow. With Pete working, projects take a lot more time. On my end, the kids and I have gotten busy with getting back into a school routine. But seriously, it’s…

Stairway to Where?
It’s been 55 days of climbing up and down a ladder to get to my loft. 55 days of balancing, scooching, & hoping I wouldn’t have to pee in the middle of the night. But then everything in life finally aligned! And finally we got the stairs put in!!! Yahoo!!! Just look at those beautiful…
