Trout Lake Dog Park

Trout Lake (Custom)

The Dog Park - Trout Lake

How lucky am I to have this amazing lake and off-leash dog park right in the city?  It’s not just the mountains and ocean that are beautiful here.

October…

I know, I know, I’ve been lacking in actual blog content.  Posting a few pictures just doesn’t do justice to all that has been happening this fall.  After a very long trip East for family matters and a road trip through New England, I have much to report but also much recovery.  I’m working towards some posts on my travels including the amazing chevre making course I took there and some reports on the 250-year-old sourdough starter I’ve been working with, as well as some notes on my adventures with quince from the community garden.  But for now I’m being kind to my body and letting it rest, just as I have done with the garden.  So photos it must be until then…

Autumn at the ByWard Market

Woolly mittens, potted mums and pumpkins have a way of making you feel ready for autumn.  Forget the stunning foliage turning fiery colours, the ByWard Market in Ottawa was alight with signs of cooler days.  A few things caught my eye in our nation’s capital that day:

The beauty of such a distinct season is not lost on this Vancouverite who usually experiences a fall of shorter days much the same as the rest of the year, but a bit cooler at night, and often more rainy.  In the East, it is a distinctive turn of days, encouraging folks to wrap up the garden, get ready for a great harvest feast, and enjoy the fruits of their labours.
