Happy New Year!
Wishing all my friends and family a Happy New Year! 2015 went by very fast, why is it as we get older the time seems to go faster? I decided 2016 is going to be the year to write as much as possible, I started a new blog on the site called Blogger, it will…
Still Going Strong!
My garden for the most part is still going strong, there are parts that are looking a little shabby but thats to be expected as we transition into fall. By this time of year I am tired of trying to keep it all prim and proper so for the next few weeks it can run…

Tea at Bridal Veil Falls, British Columbia
During the summer, I thought it would be fun to do a series of different places to visit and while there enjoy the flora, fauna and a cup of iced tea. Fist stop, Bridal Veil Falls just south of Hope, BC. This area became a park in 1965 so like me it turns 50 this year! Along…
Tea can be Cooling too!
