1. Raspberry frozen yoghurt with real frozen raspberries pressed through it. Hello summer! 2. Knitted flowers in a shady planter on Salt Spring. How cute are they?! 3. 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 …
easter eggs.
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. They come from a few East Van chickens that belong to my friend Norm's daughter-in-law. We had fried eggs with toast and avocado this morning and …

After a run to the grocery store this morning, I got back into my pajamas and don't intend to get out of them again until tomorrow morning. 3. My …
a little early for lent.
Last week as I was shivering out of the shower, Nick asked if I'd ever thought of doing a cleanse. I sort of had but not in a only-drink-water-with-weird-things-in-it kind of way. Turns out we were both feeling a little ... off, shall we say, and he was interested in cutting out a few things …
