Hello friends! I've loved alot about Salt Spring Island these past few months, but there are times when it isn't easy.  This past weekend was one of those experiences.  I was soooooo excited to get back to Vancouver.  Driving by the old warehouse and the streets of Kitsilano made me so very happy.  It was like coming home.  From the goofy (said with fondness) turn off to get onto Granville Island off of Granville Street to the familiarity of Oak Street, it was a delight to be cruising the old haunt!

Hello again friends! This week I'd like to share with you exactly how I ended up on Salt Spring Island.  To alot it was sudden and unexpected.  And to be honest, though it wasn't overall a surprise to me....the timing of it completely was.

But yes, when the tide is going out and the clams are exposed from underneath the water, they spit water up into...

Greetings from Salt Spring Island to you from this pic of my back yard! I do live on a mountain on Salt Spring so all the quintessential fauna and flora is here.  Deer, bunnies, eagles, hawks and all sorts of colorful birdies like hummingbirds and bright yellow ones that I have no idea what they are, visit me daily.  It's kind of wonderful!  When it rained last Saturday, we actually were living in a cloud.... so surreal. If you follow me on social media, I'm happy to report that we have the tent at market thing down to perfection.  That...
