And the sun shone upon us!

Today’s ride was south of Napanee starting at Bergeron Winery……it rained the whole way as I drove to Adolphustown but as soon as we started our ride the sun came out and blue skies were with us all the way!  A great day with great people, great pizza and refreshments…..

Oh yes…thanks to Dave B – owner of Bergeron Winery…..my car got a much needed boost.

Can a simple thing make a difference ?

IMG_7601I live on a farm in the beautiful Northumberland Hills…..I love the fresh air, the solitude, the scenery BUT I hate the bugs…..mosquitoes are my enemy! I hate them!!!! This summer we finally screened in the porch and my life has changed!!! We sit in the porch and have dinner, we watch the fireflies at night fall, we enjoy a rain storm and no bugs to contend with.  I can even do my Great Escapes work in the porch -I am busy planning  a cycling tour in Perth, an adventure in the Maritimes featuring PEI and Iles de la Madeleine and in August a tour to my beloved Newfoundland….. Doesn’t even feel like work!

Can a simple thing make a big difference……Oh yes!

Langsam…..

Sometimes you just have to slow down… I was rushing around upon arrival at our wellness hotel in Austria putting out small fires and a lovely Austrian gentleman man told me “langsam”…meaning SLOW DOWN and relax……so I will learn to sit in a cafe, enjoy a latte and  watch the clouds roll by. This will be my new philosophy in life.
