Overlooking Confederation Park, Kingston It’s Summer, how do I know? I haven’t the time to plant any more flowers because I must get ready for my two Summer shows. First coming up this weekend is Fanfayr here in Kingston. I have done this one for years…since the last time I had short hair (early ’80’s),…
At Balleycanoe – Toronto Skyline in Folkart Today I got a response to yesterday’s post about my favourite spots on the Up the Garden Path studio and garden tour. My old friend John Marr of ‘Canadian Roadflix‘ sent me a link to a piece he had done a couple of years ago on Balleycanoe. It…
My very good painter friend Vera Donefer gave me as a gift a series of photo sessions with her son-in-law Rene Calderon (brother in law of Laura Donefer). We’ve done all hair, short hair just before it all fell out (one of which is on my web site home page) and the other day he…
Up early this morning to high tail it down to the hospital for my MUGA (MUltiple Gated Acquisition) scan, still feeling fortunate that I was home to take the call to grab what they had. While I waited for the radioisotopes to be mixed with, or whatever they have to do to, my blood another…
This photo illustrates what I was doing yesterday rather than knitting….. well I did get work done later but this was taken during a visit with an old friend who is a bike freak! We used to date way back in high school and he did me the honour of breaking up with me when…

I will once again be having a preview evening tonight in my studio and it’s the wine and cheese type (the rest of the weekend is hot apple cider and cookies) so when my friend Harvey offered to show me how to make sushi I was hot to learn something new. Now I’ve never been…
Well…. really…. red phone call day. My old friend Claire Maunsell gave me a ding from Nova Scotia and we burned up the phone lines! Claire is an amazing glass artist…. well an amazing artist anyway as she does more than glass, and she and her young family left Kingston three years ago. And we’ve…
No more ‘fly by night’ tales after this post, therobins are fledged and these are the last pics ofthem. A couple of days later they are definitely suffering from overcrowding. I think someone must be standing on robin #4’s head! As soon as I took this picture they flew off and a day or so…
Mum/Dad Robin This photo of our baby robins was taken two days ago, I climbed on the little step ladder and was greeted by what seemed like a sea of fluffy baby birds. There are four but seems like only room in there for a couple let alone Mum who sits on them when she’s…
