holidays 2011-2012

Happy New Year everyone and I hope you all had a wonderful holiday.  I was spoiled with 2 weeks away from work and spent it with family, friends, doing a little bit of travelling to small towns in southwestern Ontario, relaxing and eating.  Here are some of the highlights from my holiday.

Said goodbye to the two build projects I'm PM'ing...

in favour of open skies and open fields.

The holidays are so much more enjoyable with a little one around.

Relaxed with Lucy.

Did some antique shopping

Experimented with some festive nails

And enjoyed the first official snow fall. 

How were your holidays?

long weekend

I have to say, I am loving the summer we're having.  This year it really has been a perfect summer, full of sunny days and hot temperatures.  Had a busy long weekend travelling from here to there, but spend a day and a half on the farm in Chatham...

taking my orange tootsies from the grass to the pool...

enjoying the summer landscape... [and that fog is my lens blurring up from the heat]

spotting hot air balloons...

loving my dad's combine's bumper sticker....

and wishing these pretty paints were actually sorbet.

How was your long weekend?

a summer weekend

Went back to the farm for a relaxing Father's Day weekend.   It was more relaxing for some than others...

And this precious girl is just getting cuter and cuter.  And quite the little swimmer.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

thursday listening | happy st. patty's!

Go out - get some green beer - and guaranteed if you're in a Canadian Pub - you'll hear Home for a Rest from Spirit of the West.  I can not listen to this song without thinking of a pub and my younger years.  And of course, the reference to Charing Cross Road which is where my parents live and I grew up [albeit in Charing Cross Ontario, not London, England - but close enough!]

Happy St. Patty's Day everyone!

It feels like a hundred years ago and just yesterday.
