  • a good book

    A good book is a good book, wherever you are reading it, but a good book enjoyed while sitting outside is one of my favourite things.  These are pics taken during a trip to Cypress Hills this past summer when I was taking a break from reading at our campsite. The book I was reading…

  • Coffee Break

    I worked the weekend, so I’m off today and thought I would tackle some spring cleaning projects (ie. organizing my storage closet where everything I didn’t know what to do with this winter ended up).  My reward for my efforts was enjoying afternoon coffee on my balcony where I get full afternoon sun.  (I took…

  • Weekend Reading

    These are some of the books I’ve accumulated in my office this week.  I definitely won’t read them all this weekend, but it’s a sampling of some of my current interests – reading about the northern rainforest in preparation for my dream trip in late spring/early summer, looking for recipes for a nice Saturday night…

  • Books In My Office 2

    I have a vacation coming up in a week or so and am starting to collect books in my office to take on the trip. I’ll likely end up taking three or four after reading a few pages of each to make sure I like them enough to pack in my suitcase!

  • sick day

    I have a cold.  It’s your regular, run of the mill cold – itchy watery eyes, runny nose, aches, pains and fever and no energy. I’m feeling pretty miserable right now.  To make matters worse I can’t sleep because new windows are getting installed on the floor below me so there has been some sawing…

  • books in my office

    These are some of the books I’ve collected in my office. Since I work in a library, it’s very easy to grab a book any time… and I do that often!

  • Summer Reading

    I’m going camping in a week. One of my favourite parts about camping is reading by the campfire until the last bit of sun is gone. Not sure I’ll have room in my luggage for all these books, though!

  • playing

    This is my week of work where I only have one day off.  I’m anticipating an interesting week, so I wanted to get all the usual errands done, but also have some down time.  I ended up taking a bunch of pictures around my place this afternoon with my iPhone and then went for a…

  • library books

    I work in a public library. These are some of the books I currently have checked out…I think right now I have 31 items on my card.  I’m also reading The Secret Garden on my iPad. Two questions…what are you reading right now?  How often do you visit your local library?

  • “The House Was Quiet and the World Was Calm”

    I had a hard time figuring out what I wanted to post tonight – it was a busy, interesting day.  I work in a library and today we took job action in our contract dispute with management.  Instead of going into detail about that, I’m going to share one of my favourite poems – this…

  • Weekend Reading

    Paged through this on my coffee break and it looks to be a fun read full of travel tips and anecdotes. It’s supposed to be a cool, rainy weekend here so I’m looking forward to reading this while drinking a good cup of coffee.
