I set my alarm so I can open the gate by 6 am. Twice now in the past 2 weeks there’s been a deer waiting on the other side to get into the park in the morning, true, go figure. This whitetail is one of them. I thought I’d start this walk in the park […]

I would have thought by now that the full Blade Runner effect would be in place on the planet. There is so much I want to taste and touch and smell, yes… smell! that I don’t have access to in cyberspace yet. Take for example these mock orange.  I bet you can’t smell them through […]

I am so lucky to have a copy of Joan Burbridges’, Wild Flowers of the Southern Interior. If it weren’t in my home I’d have a difficult time identifying many of the plants that are found here. I know quite a few, but her book seems to fill in the blanks well. What you’re seeing […]

 “The touch of their tufts was much softer than silk, and they had the sweet smell of fresh butterfly milk!” … Dr. Seuss  I can’t help it, there’s something so “Seussian” about the look of wild clematis gone to seed.  It makes me want to shout, “I am the Lori, I speak for the trees!”   These […]

Every once in a while, particularly in spring, the neighbourhood hosts transients who sometimes get up to mischief. This particular visitor seems to have come and gone in less than two weeks wrecking minor havoc along the way. The bear visited Nancy’s garden first, breaking two sections of her fence and tearing her bird feeder […]

Waldorf educator and home school consultant Denise Kilshaw arrived at Woodhaven Saturday with children from Terra Haven Kinderhouse and the home schooled group from Cedar Bridge School in Lumby for their performance, Fairies of the Forest. Each of the puppets was handmade by the children from silk and wool, and painted with plant dyes. The […]

  This is not a blog about spring, it’s a blog about noticing, noticing the very thing in front of us that somehow sidesteps our attention. It happens all the time. We get so distracted with where we’re going that we forget to notice where we are. And where I found myself this morning was […]

The Woodhaven Eco Art Project presents “Fairies of the Forest,” a puppet play for and by children on Saturday, May 15 at 1 pm and again at 2 PM.  Set inside the greenery of Woodhaven Nature Conservancy, this is a celebration of the natural world in song, word and movement.  The eleven children playing in […]

Juicy sweet spring rain fell Sunday and I woke Monday morning to sprigs and fronds bursting with life and in want for more. This is wild clematis. You can see it growing along the entrance way near the mailbox and if you’re awake and want to see this one it is interspersed in the lower […]
