Yesterday, our friend Ben encouraged us to get our bikes cleaned up for the summer and go for a ride (we’re a little late getting on this particular train). We rode for about 3 hours, had an amazing lunch and took lots of photos. Of course I took the opportunity to get shots of my…

A few weeks ago, Tito and I took the cameras out for a drive to Peterborough to have a look at their 110 year old lift lock. It’s very cool–basically it’s a boat-sized swimming pool on top of a hydraulic lift, in fact, The dual lifts are the highest hydraulic boat lifts in the world,…

For Mother’s Day I wove two huge scarves (pics of the second one to come later) and took mom and dad up to Gryphon Highland Cattle Farm for the day to meet Kim and spend some time with her critter collection. Here’s mom showing off her scarf :) Here she is with Bourbon, Kim’s 5…

For Easter weekend we had a real treat–Rayna’s parents came to Toronto from Newfoundland for a few days. Rayna’s folks are from Newfoundland, and her dad is a super talented photographer, could it get any better?

We made a few silly decisions along the way, (mostly related to the flawed perception that a time change meant a 10 degree difference in the weather and the wardrobe choices that ensued). It’s basically still the…

Vacation knitting is always a conundrum, right? You don’t want to be bored, you don’t want to lose all that precious knitting time, and you don’t want to run out of stuff to work on. Here’s my criteria: Mindless (No charts, no lace, no pattern to carry about) Portable (No multiple balls of yarn, no…

I love winter. I really do. But this winter… this winter has finally done me in. Every year we go out and do stuff, photography, hiking, road trips… but this winter has been a real doozey. With -30C days and worse, even my walk to work has become sort of a trial that I need…
