Life Update – February 2022
What I’ve been doing for the past 6 weeks.

March: It’s a Wrap!
What a strange middle-March we’ve had: not a harsh and cold winter month, but still far from Spring. We’ve had more rain than snow, and the ice on the lakes has long since thawed. But not even the crocuses are

In February
Each month I do a sum-up of what I’ve been doing in my personal life. In February I posted half-way through the month, so this is how the last two weeks went. Nova Scotia has a new holiday in February.
