when love is gone

I was heart broken today when I went to visit a wonderful old “lady”.. a charming homestead on a back road that I drove by many many times. I met a young man while I* was waiting for my car the other day.. surprise we had common interests and memories.. He told me how a home he’d known for years had been vandalized, because it had stood vacant, and a blogger wrote about it .. giving its location.. This brought unwanted attention, windows were broken beautiful old doors were smashed, anything that could be taken was stolen. I felt a shudder when he told me about it, and wondered if we were talking about the same “grand lady”… Today I found out we were.

All around there are new houses going in.. I took pictures around the grounds, even tho’ the house has suffered the disrespect of looters, the family home and out buildings still hold the charm of yesteryear. It was quiet, I could imagine what it would have been like when children ran and played on the spacious lawns. Animals would have been lingering and enjoying the wonderful country sounds. Farm workers would have been tending the fields (in the back of the house) I could even imagine the smell of fresh baking wafting from the open kitchen windows.

The reality of the moment came crashing down around me when I heard a car driving down a road that was not too far from the driveway to the farm. Change is evident, we can’t stop progress, but I hope that a time will come when respect for the world around us, will eliminate the kind of unnecessary damages that were done to this fine old home. Not to mention the heartache to the family who have had this homestead in their lives for years.

Each person’s peace leads to world peace. First of all you have to be happy. That happiness will spread and be the foundation of World Peace.

Wonderful Wednesday

such a lovely day wonder where the others are

Do things joyfully instead of taking it easy. Enthusiastically engage with what’s in front of you. You’ll enjoy it more.

enjoying a morning stroll
enjoying a bit of gossip

Whether you are happy or not depends on your perspective. The things that happen in your life are neither good or bad. It is your perspective that determines whether the outcome is good or unfortunate

Do you always say what you are thinking? Are your reactions always “honest”??

Have a great start to the week everyone!

new discovery

The rock /minerals I found lying around, reminded me of my rockhound days… when I would go in search of old mines and look for unusual rocks/minerals etc. My husband and I would travel to the Bancroft area of Ontario every year for the big Rock Hound Gemboree.. hmmm wonder with the pandemic if this will happen this year? Have not been in years and years.. this find yesterday on NCC trail was a wonderful discovery for me.. narrow trail, then opening up to just this vast area of rock… not for everyone, but I loved the moment.

Be very careful about doing things you really like. Do everything in moderation. When you over do you will lose your balance.

The above reminder is one I need to repeat a few times… =^_^=

With todays’ steady downpour, I get to try my new rain poncho… Till soon.

STAY SAFE!!!

Got a nice little piece of limestone… tiny weeny couldn’t resist.

almost

She didn’t run away, that made me happy, we just kind of stayed in one place, aware of each other. She did after a minute or two continue with her munching. Ignoring me. It was only when we heard people approaching that she began to move away.

It is moments like this that make my early morning walks worthwhile. it isn’t the picture but the moment spent just being with this rabbit was special. I think that the animals that stay near the pathways, get to know the different visitors. They can tell our walk, the sound of our foot fall on the earth. (our stride,) I’m sure they watch us from their vantage points. Those of us who are regulars, they come to know and remember us.

opportunities

a strong determination, these plants grow along and into the pavement.

a special thank you to Klara Doniak for her inspiration this morning.

my first bunnah

There it was sitting pretty. thank goodness I got this in before my battery on the camera died. Such moments are so incredible.

Be a person who can recognize the sincerity of others. When you put your whole heart into things you will be able to notice the sincere acts of others in the subtle things they do, and appreciate them that much more.

Multitasking reduces your joy by half. When doing something give it your all. There is joy in everything.

tomorrow bright and early, I’m going to go in search of the (female) moose I heard about today!

love rocks

I’ve yet to meet a rock I’ve not liked. They can be hard to get to know, but always they have a story to tell. Much like trees, the longer they are around, the more ambiance they pick up and over time, they are works of art. Everything in life tells a story, yesterday was a fascinating day, I had a lot of new experiences, and met a lot of new rocks and trees that teased me with their history.

Discovering far away places, is great, except didn’t get my walking in, so I’m off this morning to make up for the steps I missed yesterday.

Today’s calendar..

You will find joy when you immerse yourself in your task. when you face your tasks with a can do attitude, you will be filled with enthusiasm and inspiration.

Morris Island in the rain

Good morning, it was dreary when I looked out, but not raining, I thought, good day to go to Mud Lake, it was early enough, shortly after six.. however by the time I did a bit of this and that it was now going on 7:30.. still have time, I grabbed my coffee and headed for the door. My route to Mud Lake took me to an entry access to the 417 going West. By golly I was in the turning lane, I was going to either have to take the entry onto the 417 or get over a lane. =^_^=

It was one of those easy no brainers, I was on the 417 headed out towards Fitzroy Harbour and Morris Island. By now it was a steady downpour, no changing lanes on the Queensway, the morning traffic was heavy, so I just let it happen. I will tell you what you all know, overcast, humid, rain, is of no matter to the bugs and mosquitos. When I got out of the car to get a closer look at anything, I was mercilessly swarmed. I persevered it will be a trip for another day, if I have my way, a fall day. I did get to the parking lot, and had a brief look around, there were no other cars in sight.

Allow me to share some helpful information with you.. the little building is the loo, Female door is the one you see, the Male entrance is at the rear. It is very DARK inside, there are not signs on how to turn on the lights, they do not come on automatically, there is a box on the left as you enter, that if you look at it closely there is a small button, press that before you close the door otherwise you will be in complete darkness. There is a park fee of $6.00 you park and pay at the machines you see above.

The park guidelines are well outlined and posted .. please read up on what is and what is not permitted . Dogs are to be leashed at all times. I will return for sure.. but today’s trip has shown me that I will do so well after the mosquito season. ugh. The terrain, the landscape, the possibilities are endless for those wanting a hike, and outdoor experience. I of course heard a ton of wildlife, birds etc. that I have yet to identify.. didn’t miss the crows and raven calls tho’.. they are still my favourites.

Be thankful at the beginning and end of each day. Each and every one of your actions can inspire peace with your family, your community and the world around you. This peace will eventually help lead to World Peace.

NB I did show you the one place they posted for putting your canoe in the water, there are other places you can slide a kayak in too. On the road leading to the parking area, there are signs, they do not want parking along the roadway.

Express your appreciation with enthusiasm. Appreciation is the driving force for progress and development.
