Seven Loaves

thanks to Becky B for hosting September Squares Seven https://thesquaresofb.com/2024/09/04/seven-squares-4/

Wednesday is baking day for me at the Inn. Yesterday I made the dough and today we shape the dough into loaves or boles and bake them in our outdoor wood fired oven.

Seven for September – The Jolly Roger on the Seven Seas

Becky B is hosting another Square challenge for the month of Septemberhttps://thesquaresofb.com/2024/09/01/seven-squares/

It’s hardly the Seven Seas but the Great Lakes are big waters and when the waves come up it certainly reminds you of the ocean.

A Walk Through the Conservatory

This is the last day for the Walking Squares Challenge. I needed a pick me up because it was lashing down rain for a good part of the day. I took a quick trip over to the Centennial Park Conservatory hoping to see the Christmas displays. Unfortunately they won’t be ready till December 9th. I did, however, enjoy a stroll through the main greenhouses.

Waking to a Church Bazaar in the Neighbourhood

….thanks to Becky B or hosting Walking Squares https://beckybofwinchester.com/2022/11/26/walking-squares-26/

It’s that time of year. The Christmas decorations and lights are popping up, the malls are getting busy and our computers are getting a workout with on-line shopping. After a two year absence, churches are opening their doors for annual Christmas Bazaars and Craft Sales. That’s where my walk took me today…..St. Margaret’s Anglican Church.

Day 25 – Walking by the Marina

The boats have all been put away for the winter. There are only the empty docks and abandoned slips while the boats sit on dry land, wrapped in white vacuumed sealed wraps. The walk, nonetheless is still pleasant and I am reminded that colder days are yet to come.

Walking Through Col. Sam Smith Park

….thanks to Becky B for hosting Walking Squares https://beckybofwinchester.com/2022/11/22/walking-squares-22/

I love this park but I realized recently that I haven’t ventured out this far in awhile. Today I decided it was time to get back here and explore some of my favourite places. As I got closer to the pond I was actually shocked at how low the water level was. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it like this.

A Cold Walk Downtown – November 17, 2022

….Thanks to Becky B for hosting Walking Squares https://beckybofwinchester.com/2022/11/17/walking-squares-17/

My husband came home from the hospital yesterday. I wasn’t planning on going to the concert that I had tickets for but he didn’t want me to miss it. When I woke up this morning I was still in the mindset of not going but then a good friend, who is one of the organizers called me to see if I could help them out. They had a bit of an emergency and I couldn’t say no.

I normally love this walk after I get off the subway but I have to admit that I do prefer it when the weather is warmer nut it’s still picturesque nonetheless.

The emergency was resolved by the time I got there so I was able to enjoy a wonderful concert.

Pops of Colour After the Leaves are Down – November 14, 2022

….thanks to Becky B. for hosting Walking Squares https://beckybofwinchester.com/2022/11/14/walking-squares-14/

There are still a few flowers that sneak through the decaying foliage and berries add a welcome burst of colour.

A Community Effort

thanks to Becky B for hosting Walking Squareshttps://beckybofwinchester.com/2022/11/13/walking-squares-13/

Today as I started on my walk I noticed that the neighbours were out with their rakes and yard bags helping our friend on the corner. Ms. I was recovering from knee surgery and her husband was in Florida helping a friend. They asked me if I had more leaf bags so I walked back to my house and retrieved the extra bags that we had plus my rake. Did I ever mention that I actually like raking leaves.

After dropping all of its leaves we filled 31 leaf bags
