First Breakfast at the Cottage

Posted on June 30, 2025 by Mama Cormier

…June 30, 2025

I arrived at my cottage for the first time this season. Knowing we were going to be in London for a month I hired two young men (friends of the family) to go to the cottage and open it up, tidy, sweep, wipe down counters and set up the deck furniture and build me a railing for the deck. It was the best money I ever spent.

When I arrived I only had to make up my bed, cover the couches, start the fridge and put away the food. Today I will do a deeper clean of the cupboards and give all the dishes a quick wash.

This morning I made my first thermos of filter coffee and prepared oatmeal with fresh Ontario strawberries, drizzled with wildflower honey, cream and cinnamon. Yum!

Day 5 in My Art Journey

Posted on January 17, 2025 by Mama Cormier

…while waiting for the laundry to be done I did find some inspiration to work in my journal

I’ve always loved drawing florals so I picked up my Micron pen and started to draw over the collage I had glued down last night.

Last Day at the Cottage

Posted on January 17, 2025 by Mama Cormier

…after 6 wonderful days with Andrea and Olive

This is the first time in many years that I’ve experienced this much snow. Our cottage on Christian Island ( a mere 10 minutes from here to the ferry dock) is not winterized and the road up the north shore is not ploughed regularly, if at all.

While Andrea logs onto work today, I’ll be doing laundry and packing to go home. Once that is done I may do some more art or continue reading my book, Doppelgänger. Yesterday I prepped a couple of pages in my art journal and I might continue with one or both pages if I’m inspired.
