it’s sometimes hard to remember in the misery of november (or even december!) when i’m wrist deep in soggy dirt planting bulbs for spring just how worth the discomfort is. yesterday i finally removed the last of a few remaining petals from these dreamy tulips that graced my tiny garden this year. i was amazed [...]

with all the travelling i have been fortunate to experience, i had never had the opportunity to visit the hawaiian islands. all that changed a few weeks ago when my aunt sent me a harmless email telling me she had this crazy idea and i might just be crazy enough to do it. they had [...]

i know it has been while since i have written anything or posted any pictures of the garden. i do apologise, and really i have no excuse other than the usual. as many of you know, vancouver didn’t have a stellar winter, and even now there are remnants of the destruction (how dramatic) it caused [...]

k, so it’s not really that high – more like the 5th floor, but it’s still pretty cool. when i first looked at this townhouse many years ago it was this urban oasis that really sold me on the property. the crane in the background remind where we are. i have another friend in town [...]
