Rehealing of Nature
I read this morning that the water in Venice is running clear! That is hasn’t looked like this for decades. We know that Italy is under lockdown from the COVID 19 virus. I can’t help but wonder how much nature is going to heal while we are all quarantined. How much will the trees replenish? How much coral will regrow? How will the oceans be able to recover while we humans are hiding in our homes, working remotely, not commuting to the office, not polluting the environment, not consuming resources, not polluting the environment? I am not a scientist, but I do love nature. I love the gift it brings…

Tenters no more!
I love camping. We are planning our trips this summer. In fact, we have purchased a small travel trailer. It’s pretty exciting for us. I have begun thinking about decorating the inside to our taste! We have plans to camp near Gravenhurst in Ontario for the long weekend in May. We went to this location last summer, with the kayaks and our provincial park day pass.

We use our camp stove and “rough it”. Now that…

Travelling north on the gravel highway in the rain was slow, our max. speed was close to 35KM per hour. There was so much mud and potholes! We were able to stop a few times to…

Lake Huron – Love this lake
Lake Huron is my favourite great lake. It is deep, clean and many times glows that Caribbean blue colour that makes everyone happy! I can’t really say I have a favourite beach, Ipperwash, Pinery and Grand Bend are the ones I visit the most, but Sauble is an amazing beach as well! I think I love them all so much because the sand is light in colour, soft and the communities do a great job in keeping the beach clean. Grand Bend and Sauble have a great strip of shops and restaurants. We pack a picnic when we head to Ipperwash and the Pinery as there are limited options for…
