  • Front garden progress

    Front garden progress

    I did not expect it to be this substantial in year one. So happy with how it’s turned out!

  • September Sun

    September Sun

    The light is beautiful up here, just shy of 50° N. The angles frame each day differently and you can witness the shortening of each as we tilt. It makes me conscious of hurtling through space. Happy Equinox ✨

  • Seasonality

    Seasonality

    ‘How’s your summer?’. It’s the greeting of the season, and one that always throws me for a loop. I grew up in a place where the seasons blend together, in a city known to experience what some call ‘four seasons in one day’. Summer was not really an event so much as something to be…

  • Soul food

    Soul food

    When I moved out of home I didn’t know how to cook anything. I love food though, so I decided to learn a few things and see what I could come up with. I got really into it, made some delicious meals, enjoyed entertaining, posted about it regularly on socials. Then somewhere along the way…

    Shade

    I do like the way the air shimmers with heat in summer, briefly. Mostly I like it because of how good it makes the shade feel. It’s flat where I grew up, so it’s always a pleasure to come around the corner to mountains while wandering the neighbourhood. But it’s baking hot, so let’s go…

Don’t tell the others, but these ones are my favourite, with those gorgeous smokey pinks and greys. I don’t remember…

    The four right chords can make me cry

    Well, anything can, really, but music in particular reaches into my soul. Lately, I can’t get enough of this track: It’s a good one for recalibration, regulation, getting back to center. Best accompanied by a walk around the block. Can’t get enough shade this week, but as I wilt I’m still grateful we haven’t had…

  • Crabby Thursday

    At low tide you can walk a long way out. The crabs get bigger as you go.

  • The fourth dimension

    Gardening is creation over time. The front garden is starting to get a vibe.

  • Forest techno run

    Summer edition. The rainforest in sunshine after a week of rain. Some good solid tunes.
