Seasonal Changes ...

I have been doing some soul searching during my recent walks amongst the changing colours of Fall.

I am trying to decide if I need to change course with my blogging. 

Last year after our return from our French adventure I started a new blog to record my "postcards" about my day to day adventures, my walks, our travels, etc. ... it worked for me as my personal journal, a place to jot down my thoughts and share some of my photos.

Just as the seasons change ...we ourselves change and evolve.

                   

Having said that, I'm not sure what that means for me yet! 

I'm feeling at loose ends probably because I haven't got back into the rhythm of posting regularly.

A few more long walks with my thoughts and I'll see which direction I will go. 

It is probably one of the most beautiful times of the year to go walking in our area of the world. 

The colours in the landscape are changing daily ... there is every shade imaginable ... Like an artist's palette.

Which path will I choose?

Which way would you go?

Sunday Thoughts ....

Why is it that we beat ourselves up ...

As in not feeling good about ourselves ...

Questioning our worth and value in the world !

Here it is October and I haven't posted anything on either blog since late August ... 

and you may not have missed my posts but I have missed blogging!

It is time for me to start again to write and post my "Postcards" whether they be about our travels and adventures or just the everyday things that happen in my day to day life ... 

So stay tuned while I find my motivation and rhythm to get back to my writing and photo taking ...

Summer Fun

I have not found the time to regularly blog since we returned from this year's European adventure in mid July, my attempts at a routine have been interrupted by other obligations and spending time with the grandchildren ... and now here we are already celebrating/ embracing the last long weekend of Summer!

Tuesday five of the grandchildren will be going back to school and another one will be going to school for the first time on Wednesday. 

The other two are still too young!

This past week, I tried to give some of the grandchildren one last blast of "Summer Fun" ...

... We hiked on the trails exploring hidden pathways along the stream in Participark and climbed the rugged hill into town

               

                        

... We hiked the path and roads that circle the local lake.

... We spent many afternoons at the Water Park for some splish-splashing and Grandpa joined us.

          

... I gave them the tools ... paint, brushes,canvases and paper to be creative.

... We baked banana bread and corn muffins, and they all helped preparing the meals

... They made their own version of "DQ" sundaes ...from French vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, sprinkles, smarties, cookies'n'cream chocolate bar, homemade chocolate chip cookies

... We spent a "Buzy Bee" afternoon at the Clovermead Adventure Farm ... Riding go-carts, cooling off in the Mist Maze and zip lining plus much more!

Played in the sand piles ...

Wishing everyone a great weekend of "Summer Fun"!
