Next Home?

I wonder… will one of these three condos, at Simcoe St N & Windfields Farm Dr, be my next home. Checking the Realtor app shows several studio units for rent. Expensive, but I think I can squeeze in, once I turn 65 and my Old Age Security kicks in… keeping fingers crossed :)

Goldfish Pond

Put six goldfish in the pond this past Spring, but they rarely show themselves…presumably hiding amongst the bottom debris. But on this visit I was able to spot 4 of them! 🤗

Recipes to Avoid Heart Attacks

Sweet cherries. Well, not so sweet yet maybe, but one day soon.

Couldn’t find my goldfish in the pond. But Freddy said he’d keep an eye out for them.

Blog Reactivated…again

I can't seem to decide what to do with this blog but I've decided to give it another go. It's only been down about six months and I already miss having a space to put some of my rogue thoughts — especially since X has become such a cesspool. Anyway, happy reading to the handful of you who may see this.

The Worlds Best Quotes: I'd Rather See a Sermon

The Worlds Best Quotes: I'd Rather See a Sermon: I’d rather see a sermon than to hear one any day; I’d rather one should walk with me than merely tell the way. The eye’s a better pupil ...

Remember when it was just that easy…

Nice day for a walk

So give us an answer, won't you?

Lord is it Mine

I know that there's a reason why I need to be alone


I know that there's a silent place that I can call my own


Is it mine?


Oh, Lord, is it mine?



You know I get so weary from the battles in this life


And as many times it seems that you're the only hope in sight Is it mine?

Oh, Lord, is it mine?



When everything's dark, and nothing seems right,


You don't have to win, and there's no need to fight



I never cease to wonder at the cruelty of this land


But it seems a time of sadness is a time to understand


Is it mine? 

Oh, Lord, is it mine?



When everything's dark, and nothing seems right,


You don't have to win, and there's no need to fight



If only I could find a way

To feel your sweetness through the day


The love that shines around me could be mine


So give us an answer, won't you?


We know what we have to do


There must be a thousand voices trying to get through

Ruby and my Frankie

Best buddies, they choose to snuggle together in a dog bed/crate that I usually save for dogs smaller than either of them.
