On the second weekend of this month, we were able to head to the cottage to officially open up. It was a happy day for us and of course, Romeo and Juliette were excited. Mother Nature was not making any promises about giving us an early Spring this year. And true to her prediction of … More Dirty Birdie Looks
A few weeks ago I was walking toward the car and stopped to listen when I heard my favorite sound, the birds chirping. The Robin Red Breasts had returned to Southern Ontario. It’s always a good day when they arrive and strangely enough, they seem to appear on or around the same date. Also interestingly, … More Spring is in the Air
I hadn’t realized till today how long it has been since I did a post. My explanation boils down to two words… Home Work. My course is coming to an end and exam time in only a few weeks away.

This year gave us some life experiences. These ones were hard. Starting with the bad and remembering those we … More A Look Back at 2019
It’s hard to believe this is our fourth-year at the cottage. They say as you get older the time moves faster. Our time seems to now pass between Cottage Season and Non-Cottage Season. Each year at the Love Shack is filled with more accomplishments and more challenges. And there are the setbacks. After our first inspection, … More Season Four Has Begun
