Liminal
“What is that, ‘liminal’?”, Bonnie asked.
Well, it’s a good word to describe where we are at in this fight for survival against Covid 19. Feeling uncertain, even panicky, yearning safety, pulling back, feeling trapped, out of control, powerless, reaching for something to hold on to. That’s liminal!
‘Afterward’
Rustic old barn in Waterloo County, Canada
Driving in the rural areas of Waterloo County in southern Ontario, Canada, soaking in the sunshine and fresh air, lifts my spirits every time and reminds me that spring can’t come soon enough!

First rose of summer
The first bloom is always the sweetest. Can't beat the rugged rugosa rose, bred for all climate zones in Canada, showing off its beauty and subtle musky fragrance.
Autumnal beauty in Caledonia Ontario
What difference a year makes! I went looking for fall colours around Waterloo/Wellington counties in October and meandered through Caledonia. This scene caught my attention just driving into Orangeville on Hwy 10. Speaks to me about the cycle of life that Autumn denotes for me; huge contrast to the brilliant reds, oranges and yellows in the spectacular show of Fall colour around Hockley Valley one year ago. Mother Nature is full of surprises.

Phoenix Rising
Rising from the ashes of personal turmoil, shared tragedy or misfortune, demands every fibre of our being, all our strength and courage, to persevere in the face of darkness and uncertainty.
Here's to the phoenix within us rising and soaring!
