We both got up early, a rare thing for Chris to be up at the same time as I am. We had made a plan to go to Charleston Lake Provincial park. It’s a 90 minute drive so I was happy to get going early. I had been looking forward to hiking the Blue Mountain trail in...

Today I woke up to the crow of a rooster.  We’ve past old barns around here but haven’t actually seen any of the animals other than horses and grazing cows. It was a slow start because we went to bed late last night without making a plan for today.  I decided to swim...

We set out as early as I could get Chris to leave the cottage.  We drove through Peterborough county through big pine trees and small highways to the Petroglyphs provincial park.  It was a bit confusing when we arrived where the visitor centre was to get our...

I looked at the Ontario map and came up with the idea of walking to Kingston which is 250 km.  I spent weeks looking at the waterfront trail and...

It’s been a year since my long term friend Yasemin passed away. My personality took a year long transformation that day I found out.  The grieving process made me more ‘carpe diem’ but also lonely for a friend I lost. Summer tends to be a frustrating...

For the past three years, I’ve been walking many kms around Toronto. It’s a constant joy for me and I’ve witnessed so many breath-taking moments with each stride.  My latest walking goal is to do 250 kms over the course of 10 days this year.  About...

6 months ago today I was sitting by the Athabasca river looking at the sunrise coming up behind the Rockies.  I was with Chris who held me as I had a little cry about my friend Yasemin who had passed away before she could make 45. I was the lucky one who made it to 45...

This morning on a quick run along the trail system near the centre of town was an opportunity to see how beautiful Grande Cache is.  It’s really too bad that it took such a hit when the near-by coal mine shut down.  They are slowly building it up.  If it...
