Gathering Loose Threads: February 2015
http://gathering-loose-threads.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 14, 2015. Saturday, February 7, 2015. Do you remember when you needed to have a 'party piece' to be social adept? That little song or poem or other performance piece you trotted out at a house party. After work today, I spent an hour of what was left of the afternoon in one of my favourite rainy day activities (Yes, a rainy day in February) - browsing through the used book stalls in thrift stores. Asked the woman in line behind me. Carnation Milk's the best in the land,. First time tha...

Gathering Loose Threads: January 2015
http://gathering-loose-threads.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 24, 2015. We've been home a week. Back to snow and work and play and regular life. I finally downloaded some photos from my phone ( my phone! Who'd have thought that a decade or so ago? The Husband, walking through sea breeze mist. Classic old downtown Daytona. Note the heavy growth of air ferns on the palms. The Gang of Ponce Inlet. Brown pelicans enjoying a mid-day gossip, looking for opportunities to steal bait. Also watched dolphins placing in the inlet just to the left of here.

Gathering Loose Threads: September 2014
http://gathering-loose-threads.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 20, 2014. Got back from my little jaunt to southern Alberta, visiting friends and family. Places to go, people to. The yard is looking lovely these days, intense colour before the frost hits:. Self-seeded salpiglossis - favourite of mine. Pansies and sweet pea hiding in the iris leaves. Larkspur - an old-fashion plant and another favourite. And so on that happy note, I headed east and south to the Crowsnest Pass via the Columbia Valley. Columbia Lake, looking to the southeast. I spent...

Gathering Loose Threads: March 2015
http://gathering-loose-threads.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 8, 2015. Thursday, March 5, 2015 was World Book Day. Let us raise a glass to toast The Book. I celebrated World Book Day by completing 'The Paris Wife' by Paula McLain, an excellent story about Ernest Hemingway's first wife, Hadley Richardson. Music books, road atlases and stuff that needs a temporary home. I'm now reading (among other things) 'The Curse of the Wendigo', a young adult horror story about the Cree boogie-man, the wending, set in 1890s Kenora, ON country. Great fun. I like bei...

Gathering Loose Threads: December 2014
http://gathering-loose-threads.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 14, 2014. Community Supper and Bears. It's so quiet in the house this morning . just me and my coffee pot. The laundry is all done. The floors can wait until tomorrow because I'm going to do some baking this afternoon, so there will be debris - that's just the way it works. The Husband is over at a buddy's house for a few hours. Am crocheting a scarf, simple pattern, easy to pick up when I need a break. The perfect set-up for writing letters and posting a few pics from the last week or so.

Gathering Loose Threads: October 2014
http://gathering-loose-threads.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 24, 2014. Did you ever get one of these when you were in grade school? Was a topic of conversation during a lull at work today, so I found an example. Materials: You may need: a sheet of paper, a pencil, and a box of crayons. 1 Read all directions before beginning. 2 Take out one sheet of lined paper. 3 Place it on your desk so that the holes are on the left side and the margin is at the top. 4 Skipping lines, number your paper 1-7. 5 On the first line, write your name. 26 Ignore directio...

Gathering Loose Threads: What the Heck Happened to May?
http://gathering-loose-threads.blogspot.com/2015/06/what-heck-happened-to-may.html
Sunday, June 7, 2015. What the Heck Happened to May? May flew by at the speed of sound. And What a ride. The Husband arrived back in the Southern Interior after his annual spring work interlude up north, just in time to accompany me to Cirque in Penticton. It was a fabulous production. We were up six rows from the floor, just off to the left corner. Prime viewing! It was Wednesday evening, which meant a late arrival back home and a sleepy Thursday at work, but so worth it. And then the Sunday night dance...

Gathering Loose Threads: Fishin'
http://gathering-loose-threads.blogspot.com/2015/05/fishin.html
Saturday, May 9, 2015. Spent some time trout fishing with The Daughter last weekend. The channel from Campbell Lake weir into Scuitto Lake. We dropped lines with worms into the water at the weir between Campbell and Scuitto. The spawning season is in full swing - trout were leaping in the water fall, trying to get upstream. The Daughter getting her gear ready, atop the weir … barefoot. Working the fast water while I've got my line in the eddy to the north side. The first of four trout we brought home.
