Indoor Winter Garden and Friends


A few months ago I decided to assemble an indoor garden for the winter months.  Most of the plants had spent from mid-spring to late-fall out on the balcony so, when the time came, I picked my favourites and brought them inside.  The remainder of the plants were given to a friend who is planning to incorporate them into a living wall.  



Having plants indoors really does make each and every day better...gloomy weather days are more bearable, and sunny days feel glorious.  And to further augment the visual aspect I placed a few of Tim Paul's exquisite Nuu-chah-nulth red cedar carvings painted in black and white amongst the greenery.  They fit in seamlessly to  create an indoor winter garden of delight and wonderment.

Behind the garden are Tim's totem pole and moon mask, completing the scene.

Out for a Walk with Daisy

Stopped at Daisy's house a few days ago for a visit with her folks, and of course, take her out for a walk around the neighbourhood.  


She's a sweetie!

Happy Holidays


Some years ago in Luseland, Saskatchewan...a stop at Legion Park where the gazebo was all dressed up for the holidays.  Pretty!

Some Christmas Cheer on the Balcony


Soon after the punkin lights were taken off the tall wire planter out on the balcony these multi-colour lights started spreading some Christmas cheer.

Bodnari Church and Bell House

No snow here yet...just a reminder of how brilliant winter can appear.


A beautiful old church and bell house, a fresh layer of snow, a bright blue sky.  Can't beat that!
