Currently: April


Enjoying

When my children bring me handmade cards, un-solicited head rubs and a hot cups of tea. 

Listening

To "Just Like Heaven" by Brandon Lake on repeat. 

Reading

The Question by Leigh A Bortins

Contemplating

Becoming a director for Classical Conversations. I have been asked to be the "lead learner" for the Grade nine class. Gulp! It  would require a great deal of planning and intention. 

Delighting

All the tulips, fritillaria, and daffodils that I planted in the fall are unfolding and bringing a burst of color to the verdant sea of green in my yard.

Thinking 

About where I would like to go on my 20th anniversary trip with my husband. We have been saving points for this trip for a long time. The options are endless and overwhelming. 

Currently

Potting up the dahlia's I grew from seed and hopefully sowing some amaranth seeds today.  

Learning

About Indigenous people across Canada with my children.  They have loved making pemmican, learning how to weave and building wigwams and other traditional structure on our property. 

Reading 

Calm my Anxious Heart by Linda Dillow. I would highly recommend this book if you struggle with anxiety. 

Dreaming 

Of rows upon rows of sunflowers, cosmos and dahlias. 

Baking

Sourdough bread

Planning

My garden maps and making lists of curriculum to order for next year. 

Longing 

To spend an entire day in my garden planting out all the seedlings that have taken over my boot room. .
