Today is the Autumn Equinox. Enjoy the balancing energies as we move towards the colder months. I took this photo driving home from taking my daughter to university. What a treat to see the sun dogs around the sun!

A beautiful autumnal walk: autumn colours. Blue sky, chipmunks and squirrels collecting acorns, and fungi. What more could I ask for!! Nature is amazing!

I came across this fascinating tree on my walk. I can imagine the stories it could tell, if only we had the time to stop and listen!!

What a wonderful treat last weekend was. A good friend came up from the city. We walked 1km in about 3 hours. Sat on quartz filled rocks, watched a beaver dam, spotted many different fungi, watched a turkey vulture circling, and meditated on a rock over looking the river and forests. This toad came to say hello too!
It’s funny how much I’d forgotten I missed the quiet exploration of nature. It’s so healing. I’m so grateful for the experience and time spent with a good friend!
Looking forward to my next adventure! What will be yours?

There is nothing more beautiful than a swim in the local river as you watch the sun go down, after a tough day and week.
I’m so grateful to have such treats so close to me, full of peace and beauty. I only wish everyone in this world were able to live in peace.

This was taken on a very special trip. Mum came to visit us for the first time since 2019. Ill health and Covid have prevented her from coming over. But on our epic road trip over 800km in 4 days she met my daughter’s fiancé and family. Went to see the houses we’ve lived in since her last visit and our brand new house!
We were blessed with great weather, clear roads and birds that came to visit us. The food was abundant and she even had some Heeman’s strawberries. If you know, you know! Hopefully the next visit will be sooner and for longer!

I started my weekend with the most amazing experience. I got up early and headed to the beach. I was the first one there and in the water, my husband playing life guard.
As I swam I felt more and more relaxed and noticed a bird not too far away from me in the water. As I kept swimming it got closer and closer until we were only a few metres away from each other. The loon kept me company the whole time I was in the water only leaving once I was drying myself. What a wonderful treat. I’ve never seen a loon that close up before!
May your week be as wonderful as my Saturday morning ###

How lucky am I to have spent the afternoon here playing in the water with children. Sometimes work doesn’t feel so much like work!!

A wonderful way to celebrate the longest day of the year:sitting on a beach and paddling in the water. Sadly the water is a tad chilly for swimming!
