Welcome
A blog, like life, is a mixture of all sorts of things. You think you are going down one road when all of a sudden you come across a curve and find yourself going off in a totally different direction. My blog covers my interests in gardening and crafting, with some reading and photography added in along the way. Depending on the season or my mood the posts will reflect more of one side of me than the other.
It's 2sDay - the day when I post photos of things I have discovered that come in twos.
Today it's a chickadee and a woodpecker waiting for turns at one of the suet feeders.
With the winter weather coming in the not too distant future we move a couple of the feeders closer to the deck. This makes for great viewing of the feathered friends that visit the garden. It also makes it a lot easier to fill the feeders on those really cold days. And the real plus is that I can set up the camera on the tripod by the kitchen door and get some wonderful photos of the birds.

Since the beginning of October my Christmas Cactus has been forming lots of buds. Just a couple of days into November the buds started opening, giving a gorgeous show of blooms.
I recently knitted some mittens and a hat for a busy little boy. However right now he won't wear them outside because there is no snow!
As he wouldn't keep the hat on for more than a couple of seconds I used one of his building block toys to model it for me. I used the basic pattern found
here, and just changed it to suit the yarn I had.
Gardening is my hobby. I do not claim to be a professional or a master gardener. The information on this blog is from my personal gardening experience in the Canadian zone 5b.
