Back road to simplicity and charm. Best of all… no snow.

I remember many years back, living in BC, we took a trip into the mountains… my husband at the time was an avid outdoors person. He had booked a rustic weekend,, the overnight was in a log cabin such as the one shown above, only it was in some remote location and totally a surprise to me… we required our own linen, the stove to cook on was wood, and the loo was a walk into the woods to an outhouse. Those of you who have known me for a long time .. know what my reaction would have been. The activity of the day, was fishing on a crystal clear lake from a row boat. the dog loved it.

Live today filled with enthusiasm

Life is an accumulation of the efforts you make, day by day. Live keeping in mind that “today” only comes once and live your precious life to the fullest.

Oyashikiri

Time and our past make up the pieces of who we are today. Today I would rejoice at reliving that moment in time. I squandered that opportunity,

It is Thursday, this is the link to Dan Antion’s site and the Thursday Doors weekly feature the weekly challenge for people who love loves and architecture. https://nofacilities.com/2025/02/20/riding-around/

Pictures were taken in rural Ontario back in early 2020

First picture is what the laneway looked like before the snow.. the last picture was taken about an hour AFTER the plow had come by to clear the lane so I could get out yesterday morning. I fortunately turned around about 20 minutes away from my home when I realized that even the main roads, although a plow had gone through, were dangerously rutted with snow caused by the cars that were trying to make their way through. Visibility was not good, blowing snow made it impossible for the wipers to really clear the windshield. I got home put the car in the garage, shoveled the snow away from the garage door piled it where the plow driver could pull it away.. did that all along the side of the house too.

You can see by the pictures of the back deck, it had been cleared of snow down to the wood in anticipation of the coming storm, I had prepared. Still, when I went out to clear a path.. so I can make my way out of the house by the back door should there be an emergency, you can clearly see the dump. It fell hard and fast for hours before slowing down,

Have a “let’s do it” attitude.

Even if a task is difficult, keep in mind it is given by the Universe/God, and accomplish it. (PL2021.14)

Yes, my legs and arms did some complaining, but life is what it is.. and I thanked God/Universe that I have the ability to do it.

on the positive .. the snow .. was feathery light, the air was intoxicatingly fresh… the breeze/wind was teasing…friends touched base to see I was alright… sure in a *perfect world ** I would have been able to just sit by the fireplace and chill with a warm ginger tea, and my love wrapped around me… substitute a heated blanket … and Quincy came to cuddle.. Hey.. life is good! Even Quinn came to purr she actually got on my lap of her own accord. Time and patience.…

gates

Good morning, have a look.. that last gate, isn’t it interesting? I wondered, if it was still used, and how deep was/is the drop going up or down once it is opened, The red one I found inviting, probably because it is red. The first one, is forbidding, I’m not encouraged to explore there, to me, it says, Keep away! What are your thoughts? Which one should we explore? I’m game !! ?

Have a joyful day by being a little more creative.

you will enjoy your day more by adding a little creativity to your daily routine.

somewhere

You can just tell the climate is not the cold of today.. the picture was taken just a few days ago but in another part of the world. It is amazing how at the same time I was dealing with a cold that chills to the bone, a friend was wandering and taking in the sights in the Dominican Republic.

We walk around and tend to our lives (cuz we are in the moment! right!) yet someone else, at the exact time, is experiencing his/her life in a completely different way. That is what is so awesome about the world we live in. Our opportunities are so vast, so diverse. and yet…. we often find ourselves going up and down the same street, and never going beyond what is “familiar” to us.

Have you stepped out of your comfort zone lately?

Don’t be swayed by the past; It’s what you do from now on that counts. Your failures as well as your successes are now in the past. Always look towards the future and start with a fresh outlook.

A visit to the Sahara, Marrakech and a peek at Chefchaouen

With the white world around us at the moment, those wishing for a white Xmas this year, got their wish. And, with the deep freeze we had for a couple of days there is hope that the longest skating rink in the world will open this year. So saying, when these pictures came in from one of our “world” travellers.. I wanted to share.. the picture lower left … had me wondering why a carpet is rolled up against the outer door? Could it be there for prayers… I have other pictures to share of the blue doors found in that part of Africa… watch for them. Isn’t the brave little flower delightful. Hope you are all having a wonderful end of the year…

*** If you face a situation head on, a Path will open up ***

No matter how hard the situation is, face it head on. If you approach it seriously you will be able to find a way to break through. Make today, a memorable day! Let’s try to put our whole heart into whatever we say or do, as our unique signature.

There was a picture I saw of our “traveller” riding a camel across the desert. it “almost” had me calling CAA for travel arrangements.. then I remembered, cold or extreme heat.. I like cool and cold. the memory of that time in Japan during one of their “heat waves” flashed across my gray matter… I’ll continue to be an arm chair traveller… cheers everyone! See you on Dan’s page,, he is on hiatus till Jan.9.25.. but have a look. https://nofacilities.com/2024/12/26/just-in-case-3/#comment-377595

Doors – wood

I was inspired today by Dan’s post on the beautiful wooden door he made out of a piece of wood he found at a wood working show. Back many years ago, I discovered I had a passion for wood, and carving, A friend was an excellent carver, he would carve something out of pieces of wood he would find, it was inspiring that he could bring the wood to life. To my surprise I’ve since learned that he no longer has a passion for the craft. But the love of the craft for me has lived on.

The love of wood has stayed with me over the years, whenever I travel I look for exotic or different kinds of wood … I’m totally fascinated by what nature does on her own with the never ending displays she puts on with the trees, their form, the way the bark can take on a life of its own, how the elements bend and shape the landscape… and doors are part of that passion. Wooden doors. I found the door you see above on one of my travels.. I wanted to bring it home, sand it down and carve it. I had no way of getting it home, I no longer had my truck. By the time it would take me to find a way to transport it, and find my way back to the location where the door was… it was a dream.. I kept the picture.. “in case”

Dan I’m green with envy you got to work with that piece of wood. I love the smell of the wood when we work on it. In fact, after I finish this little blog, I’m going to go in search of my tools. I still have a couple of pieces I bought many moons ago in a small village when I searched out exotic woods for my friend to carve. Funny I never wanted to let them go.. I just moved them from one storage place to another, always in my “office/studio”

Your door has reopened one for me… That is what doors are all about… can you see how beautiful that door would have been had it had some love and attention.

To see Dan’s work of art, please visit his site, and take the opportunity to visit all the other doors that will be showcased today from all over..https://nofacilities.com/2024/11/14/one-door-one-doorway/

With a prayerful mind, put your heart into everything you do.

Even when you’ve put in your best effort, you may have overlooked something. With a humble mind, take a second look to check for mistakes or oversights. (PL2014.7)

Don’t hesitate to show kindness to others

Do you ever find yourself hesitating to show kindness to someone? It is when you put your thoughts into action that you can show others what is in your heart (PL2014.31)

This is the night, “monsters” will go door to door, trick or treating.. Somehow I think these doors won’t open to such requests. Stay safe, enjoy the celebrating …
