lobster eh!

Brian and Jon lobster

I want lobster I head for a fish market or to a specialty fish restaurant. Not my cousin, no.. he and his partner want lobster they head for the wharf, no matter the temperature…Then tease us with photos on Instagram. =^_^= Obviously they live near the ocean, in this case the east coast.

Meanwhile here we look out at piles of snow and frozen rivers. An example of how while we live our daily lives, at the exact same time in another “dimension” someone else is experiencing their daily life. AND. it is so very different from ours.

The making of another person , is like ours, only the components that make up their personalities and experiences are different. Yet they love, live, share happiness, sadness and joys exactly the same way we do.

So why I ask .. when strangers meet, if they show differences in their outer presence do we hesitate in reaching out in friendship…

Happy New Year

Wow December is coming to an end, With fantasy and sunshine nudging me today, I went in search of Q to see what she was up to. I found her high up on a mountain playing with a duck on a frozen pond. She was not delighted at my appearance guessing that I had come to draw her away from her fun to do some work with me.

She did start to run away, or so I thought, but bless her little heart, she decided to play along.

Here she is after changing her hair .. chatting with a couple of the snow people we met along our way. The little snow boy was really happy that the weather has turned nice and cold.

This mother and daughter were on their way to a snowball “game”… I thought that Q took a bit too much interest..

As you can see, she was keen to take lessons on just how to make a good snowball so that it would make the biggest splatter. Q wisdom.. if you are going to do something, do it right…

Nothing would do but we had to visit her little reindeer pal for a big fat Holiday hug, you can see her gearing up to swoop down on him.. Q wisdom .. give a hug with lots of love, show you care…

Flying across the frozen landscape, we searched for the site where the 2018 welcoming party would be. Of course Q was the first to see it..

The stage is set, the decorations are out, now the count down will begin, for night-time to come, and the celebration hour to arrive.

Q what were you about to do? I am watching you… yes… you little missy Q you don’t mess with other people’s things. We have completed our mission, we have found a new year’s wish for you… Happy New Year everyone.. I’ll take Q skiing, that will keep her busy for now… =^_^=

From Q aka Dymoon and all my characters.. Blessings to each and every one of you.

tourtiere!

Tourtiere 12.17a

I came home the other day to find this delicious looking tourtiere on the back veranda. Hmmm… the note was addressed to my husband and I, wishing us a peaceful and healthy holiday and new year. Instructions were typed on a paper and stuck to the Ziploc bag ….

tourtiere by carmen 12.17

I am not an expert on tourtiere, but this one knocked our socks off. Wow, the crust was so flakey and light, the filling itself was exquisite. We have had a very challenging and exhausting year, this homemade gesture of kindness was such an amazing lift for us. The angel who thought to share her gift/talent with us, is very appreciated. I have had meat pies and tourtieres before , NON made the impression this one did. Thank you!

My husband who has difficulty eating … is already anticipating his next piece. And .. I have learned that some cooks can do amazing wonders where others have failed.

If I had allowed previous experience to colour my thought process, I would have missed out on a tantalizing taste extraordinaire .. Bravo Carmen!!!

Happy week-end everyone…

Each section represents a challenge or opportunity. Is there a storyline here, for me there is. What about you…

As another year draws to an end, a new one is waiting in the wings. The above will still be there, waiting to be found. Every day, something new is added to our personal collage. Some noticed, some not. Never-the-less, seen or not, they become part of the puzzle that is “life”

Pictures do tell a story..

snow day

snow dec 25b Happy Dec. 25th. a snow day here in Ottawa. There will be no shortage of snow for the guys and gals who love snow activities There is a gentle falling of snowflakes as I look out the window I see them drifting by, almost like an animation. I’ve been out to shovel the backyard, (not the driveway, no, the backyard) this is an annual event, that begins to prepare trails for the dogs to exercise and run when they are yard bound.

snow dec 25a

Tin man did hope for a trail his way, since the snow is deep there and he fears rust. However, I did not make it that far this morning. If and when I do, I will try to bring him in, I understand his desire to keep himself free of rust for as long as he can. Circumstances have been such that I neglected to get to him in time this year, before the snow began to fall.

PL Precept #19 Begin once you Perceive.

Today I noticed it, so I will do my best yo get back out there before there is too much more snow and move Mr. Tin Man. Even if it is to the shelter behind the garage. PL Precepts are simple reminders to us, to help us navigate the day to day challenges that sometimes get overwhelming, mostly because we don’t always act when we first notice something.

snow dec.25

While I go out to shovel a path to him, I wish you all a very happy day, full of warm tender moments, and joy filled events. If you are going to celebrate is in excess, know that tomorrow is another day, =^_^=

Thursday doors -windows

houses 2x

Good morning everyone, the holidays are fast approaching. We are busy trying to settle back into a routine, and I am once more running the roads on errands. I am especially trying to beat the rush that will take place closer to the week-end, it will be impossible to find parking in the shopping mall parking lots. Already there is a sea of cars as far as the eye can see in the bigger centers near us.

Norm’s Thursday doors, is a huge interest to me, doors being so much a part of my life over the years. I am a keen buff on older homes, doors, windows and all that go along in the inspiration of my creative spirit.

The I found this collection of hand stitched works of art, sitting waiting to be framed in a thrift shop of all places. Someone had spent hours carefully building these charmers stitch by stitch. That to me is a true love of houses, windows and doors. Having attempted at one time this craft, I had full appreciation for the hours spent on putting these together.

If I have learned anything during the last few weeks, it is that what we see on the outside is not necessarily what is going on “inside” Our bodies house our “souls” the vibrant and vital energy this is our “lives”. The windows and doors, are the way we look out, and how we maneuver the in and outs of our journey through this life. In some ways they reflect our personalities .. many times, they are merely shelters. It is what goes on, inside the house, that makes it a home.

PL (Perfect Liberty) celebrates every 21st of the month, with a Thanksgiving ceremony. The service is dedicated to giving our appreciation and gratitude for the blessings we have received through the month. Think today as you read this, just how many blessings you have received in the last few days. There are always positives, we need only be receptive to them.

At first I was sad that the beautiful work someone had done was now in a Thrift Shop, then I realized that it was the joy in stitching that was the person’s pleasure, and now, I was happy in the discovery. Sharing his/her work with you, is also a “happy”… May the many little windows and doors open for you today.

Find the sunshine, find the happy, in your day. You will be blessed in many ways.
