March 21, 2013Farm Heaven, ON Springtime salutations from sparkling Snowland. I am once again in Farm Heaven visiting my dear Captain Dirt at her famous farmhouse. It blizzarded with a passion on the day I arrived, but I rocked the long drive like an Ice Road Truckers superstar. Today I’m safe and warm by the fire, and quite focused on all…   see more…

November 21, 2012Farm Heaven, ONI have escaped the big city for some country air. It was seriously necessary, and quite overdue.  I can feel the life force creeping back into me at last… molecule by molecule, breath by breath. It lives! I’m all curled up by the wood stove, coffee cup and laptop, with a fine view of the bird tree…   see more…

August 11, 2012Farm Heaven, ON It’s one of those rainy afternoons in the old farm house. The kind where you’re stuck inside with the cat and start looking for a hidden room to explore… I’ve crawled inside the old wardrobe in my bedroom, in hopes it may open up to another world. Somewhere beyond these boots and bunny fur coats…   see more…

April 6, 2012Toronto, ON I’m home at last after my epic tour down to Texas, and subsequent artistic hibernation in the land I call “Farm Heaven”… I have so many stories to tell, I’m not even sure where to begin. So I reckon, at least for now, I’ll let the photographs I took speak for themselves. Sweelandish tales to follow shortly, I…   see more…

January 19, 2012 Dalkeith, ON Well it sure is winter here in Farm Heaven. The winter we, in the big city, thought might never come… I found it. It was at the end of a long road, down a dirt road, all along. And I was pleased to find it quite happy to see me. With that particular brand of bitter…   see more…

January 30, 2010  Dalkeith, ON Mmmm back in Farm Heaven at last! When I close my eyes I can still tell I’m here … The heat of the wood stove, the mew of the kitten, the waft of bourbon hot chocolate, and the sniff of something delicious Captain Dirt is cooking up in the kitchen! This weekend I decided to…   see more…

December 19, 2008 Dalkeith, ON Word up from Sweetlandish Siberia and the frozen glacial fields of Ontario farm heaven. It’s a balmy minus 18 degrees Celsius (That’s zero Fahrenheit my precious Americanos) BEFORE windchill, and dropping! Just in from a trip to town for supplies, hauled some wood and am now snuggling by the fire, waiting for the mother of…   see more…

December 6, 2008 Farm Heaven It’s family weekend in farm heaven and all my ladies are here for a wee country vacay. I’ve been reading the Twilight series (like a good little girl) and have been joking that my gal pals are my “vampire family.” Because of my usual need for photographic mayhem I declared it “family portrait night” in…   see more…

May 1, 2008Dalkeith, ON Mayday Mayday! Hope you are all fabulously well on this most decadent of days. All is supreme here in country-fried farm heaven. I’ve been very active and getting loads of cool things done. Have also been working hard at mastering the lost arts of leisure and pleasure. This has included the preparing of majestic feasts, reading…   see more…
