Just when you thought that winter was going to last forever, the weather warmed up, the snow melted, and…what’s that? Oh, the flowers bloomed and it’s finally gardening season! I’m sure that I’ll have plenty of pictures to post in the coming months but here are a few of the blossoms that have popped up […]
Random Photos From Around the University
I attended the University of Saskatchewan right after high school in 1997 until I graduated in 2001. Many years later, I found myself working for a company on campus. Then, a few years after that, I spent a year in graduate school. I’ve been working for the university now since mid October 2012 and yet […]
March 25th Moon
Once again, I’m behind on my posts – sorry! Here are a few shots I took along the river bank of the waxing gibbous moon last week which I believe was a 13 day old moon if I’m not totally mistaken. They’ve been touched up a bit as most photos are these days but I […]
Walking in a Winter Wonderland…in March
People who know me know how much I hate complaints about the weather. It’s not like it’s something that you can change so why waste energy griping about it? Even in the craziest conditions, I find it hard to understand why people would rather hide and bitch than to get out and witness the awesomeness […]
Review: Gardenscape and Live Five
This past weekend, I managed to hit a couple of events in town. After the crazy weather we’ve had this month, it’s was nice to get house of the house again…and for fun too! I’ll get into the weather insanity in another post but I thought I’d write up a quick blurb about these two […]
Updates On My ‘Craftiness’
I realize that I haven’t updated my site for awhile which is really not a good thing, partly because there’s no sense in having a website and taking up space on the ‘interweb’ if it’s not going to get used but also because I really wanted to use this site more often to let everyone […]
Another snowshoeing adventure – Beaver Creek
It was another beautiful winter day in Saskatoon so how could anyone resist not having some fun in the snow? (Okay, the roads were pretty bad after awhile but my point still stands.) This time, my friends and I headed to Beaver Creek to check out the birdies there. I’ve never been to the conservation […]
Snowshoeing at Pike Lake
One of the things I want to do more of this new year is snowshoeing. Not only is this rapidly growing sport great exercise but it’s a wonderful chance to…well…to go somewhere and do something! That sounds obvious but as I’ve said before, sometimes we get so wrapped up in our own crazy lives that […]
My First Adventure In Making My Own Cosmetics
Okay, that title is maybe a little misleading since I’ve been making my own toothpaste since the summer. I’ve had problems with the taste and consistency of commercial toothpaste for years now. Even when I switched to a more ‘natural’ toothpaste, I never really liked it. I’ve been reading a lot about how the cosmetics/personal […]
Review: Festival of Trees 2012
Another event that I went to last week but didn’t get the chance to write about was the annual Festival of Trees at the Western Development Museum. I don’t usually like these kind of events because they’re too crowded and loud. The winter holiday season is so stressful as it is too so I try […]
