a cool place in Montreal

Parc Lafontaine. an oasis in one of the hearts of Montreal

I sat at this scene the other day, painting. It happened to be on a crest, and I felt the loveliest breeze lifting off the water. There were some rogue, illegal bathers splashing away down below, but no-one seemed to mind. Their laughter and belly flops filled the air with the sound of children, even though they were well into their forties.

In the comments I’m going to try to write some Haiku about this. I am serious. Please join in the fun if you will…

The Gift for Sensing Something: DIY scented sachets

I can’t believe how time is flying!  My posts are getting shorter and shorter and I am barely finding the time to cram in all of the last minute to-do’s.

Quickly, I will tell you about today’s DIY gift.  It is scented sachets.  This year I made some scented sachets with flannel to give to the kids in my family.  I attached a list of herbs and spices in the sachets so they can research this more.  It is a pretty traditional recipe.  Perhaps in the years ahead I will have the time to do something a little more creative.

roses, lavender, rosemary, cloves, allspice, star anise, orris root, sea salt

cool little sachets for the kids

Kay, gotta go!
