May 1st.... wha ....?? This is the ferry that comes by us twice a day ... more in the summer months. :-)  Some people have guard dogs ... we have seagull sentinels... Well, we have...

My blog stats tell me I last posted here in MARCH. Really, March? How does that happen? I'm sorry, dear loyal readers, I had no intention of abandoning this little corner of my world for that l...

It feels like spring here on Salt Spring right now .... we've had blue skies almost every day, and warm temperatures. Gardeners are gardening, folks are bicycling, and the pink-blossomed trees ar...

Christmas Countdown

http://mvwindwalker.blogspot.com/2014/11/christmas-countdown.html

See? I never even made it a week with that NaBloPoMo thing! Oh, well, I've intended to post all day today, and almost went to bed without doing it AGAIN. Michael and I had a great day today,...

I love Salt Spring Island, I really do. But every now and then I look at downtown Victoria's web-cam -- and then I really miss living there. This is what it looked like this evening... The dar...

It`s been a drizzly Sunday here ... but my days off are so precious now! It`s been an interesting transition to a full-time position, that`s for sure. I have often joked that, in my adult life,...

UNBELIEVABLE that almost a year has gone by since I posted last!   The short story is: I'm fine, Michael's fine, we're well and fat and happy and still sober and still together and still liv...

Sure enough, that whole Christmas thing got away on me, and I got away from blogging! All of December was wonderful, though ... first of all, we went up to Sri's mountaintop retreat in Parksvil...

We are having a record cold spell here on the coast right now ... with the wind chill, it's been getting down to -18 at night! That's pretty rare here, and we're feeling it. My computer corner is...

I stopped at Blackburn Lake this afternoon to knit a bit between Welcome Wagon visits. It was cold!  This is ice in the little creek, not water....  ... and I just really liked this vie...

http://mvwindwalker.blogspot.com/2013/12/yup-it-snowed.html

So it's 7:30 pm., and  I've booked a full day of visits and errands to run in Ganges tomorrow - 12 miles away, by the way. I've been sitting here beside the fire knitting, oblivious to the world...

Well, I was tempted to take a day off from blogging after succeeding in completing NaBloPoMo, but I decided I better not ... I've got a habit re-established here! I had a pretty lazy day today ...

Hey, I just blogged every single day for 30 days for the first time in MONTHS! Now... let's see if I can keep it up.... Had a great day today -- finished teaching the 4-week intermediate class ...

I had a lovely birthday day today ... It started when I woke up to a gorgeous bouquet of flowers on the table.  And then Michael, who can't cook, cooked us 'breakfast' -- how cute is this? ...

I mentioned yesterday that I had to get my entry in today for the Eye For Color show the Guild will hold in the spring of 2014. Thursday is the regular Guild meeting, but I couldn't get there unt...

I was at the Fulford ferry at 7:15 this morning and watched the sun come up ... this is looking southeast out of the harbour toward Schwartz Bay where the ferry comes from.  And speaking of ...

As a juried member of the Salt Spring Arts Council, I am now invited to participate in the annual winter Art Show and Sale ... opening this Friday and happening daily until Dec. 23rd. Today was ...

People sometimes ask me why I don't post more about being a liveaboard .... about life on a boat. Well, the answer generally is that, most days, my life doesn't look much different than yours -- ...

I've had a *delicious* day -- and it had nothing to do with food(well, almost nothing)! First of all, I didn't have anything I 'had' to do. So I could stay in my jammies all day ... and I did j...

This morning as I was getting out of the boat to go teach my knitting class, I heard an unmistable sound in the air above me... This eagle was talking to one on a branch a little further along...

http://mvwindwalker.blogspot.com/2013/11/a-great-day.html

I'm almost always up by 5 a.m. That's my quiet knitting time, and I love it - the phone doesn't ring, no one will come to the door, there are no boats moving around in the harbour and the ferry h...

I've been knitting.  :-) This is a test knit cowl and I used some old hand-spun for it; it's lovely, and it'll be a Christmas present for someone! This is another test knit, a...
