destination unknown sunday january 05 2020 happy 2020 i ve managed to be a little bit creative a wonderful start to the new year posted by martha brown at 16 12 no comments monday august 05 2019 still making this time kombucha all flavoured with fruit from my garden i suppose that technically rhubarb is a vegetable finally the raspberries are ready i m having issues with the porcubearaccoon that is trampling all of the canes last night i was out yelling at it and throwing things into the patch as it they crunched through the dog hid behind me she was on her leash not even growling posted by martha brown at 07 07 no comments labels kombucha saturday july 20 2019 watermelon rind pickles different kind of creativity every year i make a couple of jars of watermelon rind pickles they are sweet sour and spicy they re made from the white part of the rind so first you have to eat a watermelon that was no problem the berries are late this year sadly the saskatoon berries are few and far between this year and it looks like my pin cherries were hit by frost after blossoming blueberries are starting to ripen it looks like there will be another bumper crop of raspberries but they aren t even close to ready and i have to keep the deer porcubearaccoon away hopefully the blackberries will be ripe before we go home i also foraged some beach peas from the wharf road delicious i really am living my best life here posted by martha brown at 10 30 no comments monday july 15 2019 creativity i m trying to be more creative to stop losing myself down the rabbit hole of the internet it s summer and i m at my favourite spot by the sea mr b has returned to our home in the big city and i now begin to recharge not that i wanted him to leave we ve had a lovely few weeks of kayaking cycling hiking eating and even a bit of shopping i need to send out some thank you notes so have spent the day making them and writing tomorrow will be a less creative day scraping and sanding the front of the house one side each year then priming and painting at least i can hear the cries of the gulls and the sounds of the songbirds while i paint posted by martha brown at 13 55 no comments friday january 05 2018 hello 2018 so happy to meet you my one little word for this year is connect this year i want to connect more with family with friends with my students and their families i want to re connect with my creativity and with others who share similar interests i m hoping to see family and friends more often to take more classes and workshops and to blog more often i need to have deeper more meaningful connections with the moments in my life you only have them once i need to be fully there no dress rehearsal this is my life posted by martha brown at 10 54 1 comment sunday december 31 2017 it s a wrap it s been a busy year in maison b 23 mr b and i began the year in nova scotia relaxing and recharging we love the winter there i was lucky to have been able to collect the quince from the bush beside our house we got there during the first freeze so i made quince paste for the first time hopefully again some day it was lovely i also made my first rosehip jelly so we started the year off in preserving wonderland the spring got hectic because i was told that i was changing grades and therefore classrooms grumble grumble pack pack pack move move move tears tears tears baby g turned 1 in the summer i am so lucky to have miss l and baby g even though they live in kingston a fabulous city i love visiting the city as well as the family my mom and dad couldn t attend the birthday festivities because my dad is now on oxygen for some lung issues and the traveling is difficult the little fam visited london a few weeks later baby g enjoyed his first sugar overload cake well actually icing but nova scotia made everything better it was different without our pup andy i definitely didn t walk as much i preserved a lot though we began the season with strawberry jam and then moved onto blueberry raspberry pin cherry only a few jars there wasn t much fruit this year saskatoon berry blackberry chokecherry and i did some curried pickles too i sewed a lot of new dresses and tunics i visited with all of my ns friends the tooners their word not mine and my friends in shelburne and my friends from away becky and chuck xo and new friends too hi jan and miss l and baby g visited for almost 2 weeks we have another favourite beach port joli the water is warm i returned to toronto with some trepidation back to kindergarten sharing the room with daycare and lunchroom a new teaching partner yikes but kindergarten is wonderful sharing the room is difficult but manageable and my teaching partner was more than i could ever have wished for thank you ft for being such an awesome teaching partner i will miss you so much in october we added a new member to our family we adopted a little terrier pup from the humane society tilly is a handful but all puppies are right not much time for creating this year but i managed to spend sometime with my friend d she taught me english paper piecing and we made some wreaths from recycled sweaters my friend m c and i also managed to get a bit of creating in melted pony bead ornaments and more to come next year our family christmas theme this year was mexican we had chili and tamales and empanadas for our christmas eve feast the colours were bright my mom really worked her magic with the decor we didn t make our annual winter journey to nova scotia this year so we wont be ringing in the new year with our east coast friends tilly is too young to leave with friends or in a kennel but we will be with our toronto friends so still surrounded by warmth good food and good company that s the way we should begin and end every year don t you agree read more posted by martha brown at 09 35 no comments friday july 28 2017 keji yesterday my new friend j and i went to keji national park for a cycle around the trails i have never been to the main kejimkujik park but have been to the seaside adjunct many times lately made famous by a recent visit by pm justin trudeau and his entourage i met j while we were working at the community breakfast at west queens community hall last saturday we were both newbies and they had us taking orders and serving very sharp learning curve there but i think we did a pretty good job the next breakfast is august 26 consider going for 8 you get eggs bacon sausages beans hash browns toast juice and coffee or tea also the bake sale down the road at the hostel is that same weekend so j picked me up at 10 am and we threw my bike into the back of her truck and we were off it s about an hour and a half to keji i dont know how long it took we were chatting too much this year is free admission to keji national parks are free because of canada s 150 birthday more info here after checking in at the visitors centre we drove to the parking lot and started down the mersey river trail we also rode the slapfoot trail and the trail from jake s landing to merrymakedge beach j getting some shots of the beautiful greens of the grasses trees and other plants the water at keji is tarry black from the tannic acids from peat leaching into the water and keji is also known for its dark sky at night great for oberving the galaxy dark water dark sky dark beer boxing rock s dark as keji some very interesting fungi it was a fabulous outing thank you so much j for inviting me on your adventure i plan to return to keji again this summer with mr b i d like to walk along the trails biking the trails was really fun and sometimes scary down some big hills but if you really want to see nature i think walking is better we had to stop and get off of our bikes a lot but having said that i d like to cycle those trails again just dont go on a weekend the trail is narrow so when you pass someone coming toward you you have to get off your bike yesterday wasn t busy but on a busy day that would be less enjoyable this is one if those times that i wished that i lived here year round so i could see the park throughout the seasons you can read more about keji here on the official website
