{A very tame Canada goose hanging in Kits who wants you to vote too.} Dear friends, not to be preachy but please get out there today and exercise your democratic rights. Vote! Do some reading, talk to your peers and get thee to a voting station. {Update: I saw quite a few people actually high-five …
1. I tried making these sweet potato biscuits for brunch on Saturday and they turned out really well! 2. The bathroom is finally almost back to normal. I just have to paint another coat and then the landlord will come and put the mirror back up. No more dust! 3. An organized dresser top. Something …
Nick's sister posted a Facebook status the other day asking for great TED talks. It made me think that I should post my absolute favourite TED talk of all time in my little corner of the web here. Isabel Allende is an amazing woman, even if I've yet to finish one of her books. This …

Nick made us a very delicious lunch of salmon and veggies on Saturday. We had a little Salt Spring Island wine to wash it down and ate …
{One of my favourite places for a solitary Friday drink between work and meeting friends is the café at the Vancouver Art Gallery.} We are off to Salt Spring Island for part of the Easter long weekend. I've also taken Monday off and am looking forward to relaxing at home and getting a few things …
I thought that Tuesday's post from Reading My Tea Leaves was lovely so I was especially pleased to find these beauties on my desk when I arrived at work, the very same day.
