the dining room table

many of my Christmas memories, other than by the Christmas tree and at Christmas Eve church service, are centered about the antique dining room table at the farm







Regardless of where your memories come from this Christmas time, I hope that you may find some peace and wonder, in at least some small place within your heart.


Angels be with you.

there's a feeling of Christmas

in the air





And I love to decorate with vignettes throughout my home - both indoors and out.


There are fabulous ideas in these places if you need a bit of help with getting more so into that feeling of Christmas.

Regardless of how YOU find that feeling of Christmas, my hope is, that there be peace for you at least in some tiny proportion.

Angels be with you.

views from the pond

of the Mendal Conservatory

immerse yourself in the gentle flowing sounds
the humid air
the beauty of contrasting flowers
and greens

immerse yourself
breathe it in
relax

amaryllis

gardening has been a favourite hobby in the past thirty years. I also love indoor plants. for many years I grew amaryllis bulbs with fabulous flowers to be seen as a result. more recently, gardening has fallen much by the wayside. I still love flowers. in the wintertime, particularly in the Christmas season, the Mendal Gallery in Saskatoon has wonderful displays in its conservatory.
