Chasing Waterfalls

So, big storm moving into the area this evening (actually, it’s started along the south shore already, with kids being sent home from school at noon) - snow, very high winds, and storm surge. Environment Canada posted the following warning about the storm surge:
“A run of high astronomical tides along the atlantic coast of […]

I had mixed feelings last night. On the one hand, I was so tired that the evening could not have passed quickly enough, as I just wanted to go to bed; on the other, I knew that once bedtime rolled around, I’d have to break and throw away whatever cigarettes I had left and put […]

As much as it broke my heart to leave Milo alone for a few hours on his first night yesterday, I had planned - before getting him - on going out come Saturday evening; I’m quitting starting tomorrow (well, really tonight when I put the patch on right before bed), and until I have the […]

About a month ago, my friend Nancy got a kitten from her friend who couldn’t keep him (he belonged to the woman’s son, who then abandoned him and the woman hates cats). But Nancy already has a cat, Cleo, who’s very timid and has been an only cat for the 2 years of her life. […]

I finally got around to dumping some of the pictures off my camera:

No snow! (Until yesterday - though, thankfully nothing major)

Last Friday was such a beautiful day, well into the double-digits, and I took advantage at lunch to walk along […]

I have homemade chili simmering on the stove, filling the apartment with that comforting scent of good food, it’s quiet except for the pitter-patter of the rain outside, the lighting is dim with just two soft lamps burning, and I have a cup of coffee at my side. Sometimes it’s nice to have an active […]
