Being Pregnant


Here is a picture of me in my new garden at 34wks pregnant. We recently moved from B.C. to Ont. to a farm house across the rd. from my parents. It is so nice to be so close to family at such a special time in my life. I am due Aug. 15th. It has been hard the last wk. because of the record breaking heat but i have had to learn to let go and relax. Being pregnant makes you learn to surrender. You can't be in control of everything even thou you want to be or think you are!
I love being pregnant! Having a baby growing inside you is such a miracle. I love feeling the baby move, talking to her and sending her energy. This is my first child at 36yrs. old with a long time friend makes it extra special. I am so blessed with all the abundance of the universe!

My pet ducks

These are my pet ducks, Mamma and Big boy. We were given them a couple mths ago because they were heading for the freezer and i needed something to fill the pen now that the chickens were gone. They were so nervous of me at first and over time i have gained their trust and can feed them out of my hand and even get the odd pet in. The female, Mamma, has such a personality! She is so curious and makes this little song when she is excited or disturbed. I have taken up digging worms for them and Mamma comes running over and is eagerly awaiting a worm to pop up out of the soil and she sings her song and grabs 'em. Sometimes she is right on top of my trowl that i can't even dig. Endless entertainment! To think these birds have such personalities and emotions. We must be kind to all creatures!

Thanksgiving Market


Last wk. my mom (soulybarb) flew from Ontario to sister Paula's place in White Rock. They drove here to Kelowna to stay with me. Paula had a tree conference downtown for the first few days while me and mom went for walks, shopped and took Keyna to the dog park. We cooked a huge feast for thanksgiving with potatoes & squash from my garden, the turkey from the nieghbours and pumpkin pie square from baked pumpkin. YUM!!!!! The highlight of the wk. was having a stall at the farmers market. we had all 3 of our stuff, jewllery, tea cozys, beanies, arm warmers, scarves, eco pads ect. We such a great day together besides the -6C weather we had to set up in! Great touque weather! Thank you mom and Paula for coming and spending such a special time together. Happy Thanks giving!!!!!!!!!!

Forest Fires


It has been a very hot and dry summer here in the Okanagan Valley. For the last couple weeks there have been raging forest fires. One night just before sunset i went out and saw this huge billowing cloud rising into the sky. I was in awe for i have never seen anything like this before so i had to take photos. The amazing thing is that the next day we had a much needed rain that settled the fires slightly.
