March 11, 2013 Cordova Lake, ON Bonsoir from little frozen lake land, a sobriquet that might not apply much longer if it keeps raining kittens and puppies outside. I’ve been hiding away in the Kawarthas for a good week now. It’s just me, my guitar, and the long stretch of white that leads on towards the horizon. There’s hardly a…   see more…

February 28, 2013Toronto, ON It’s a winter wonderland once more in Corktown, Toronto. And after the grand deluge of yesternight, a surprise, I suppose, to wake up to anything besides an ark outside my window. Despite the weather, I took myself on a grand wandering date yesterday avec umbrella, boots, and camera. What more does a girl need besides a…   see more…

February 16, 2013Toronto, ON Good morning my pets, Hope you all had a delightful and love-drenched Valentine’s Day. I spent mine in the reclining position eating gluten-free pizza and watching Psycho. I’m romantic like that. There was some serious R&R required after the glory of the past week … So much goodness went down with my beautiful Ladies In Waiting, but…   see more…

February 8, 2013Toronto, ONSalut from under a scintillating snow blanket … I reckon that most of you in Eastern North America know what I mean. I’ve just returned from a wee tromp out in the wilds of the urban arctic, and am once again curled up with my new best friend – the hot water bottle.The snow storm gave me…   see more…

January 6, 2013Toronto, ONI’m Home Sweetland Home after my last great adventure … It feels good. Nothing like a tromp out into the wilds of the world to remind you of how much you love your own neighbourhood. I opened one suspicious eye this morning, and then the sweet, comforting clang of church bells across the street reminded me it…   see more…

December 8, 2012London, ONIt’s another grey and rainy day in Sweetland. ‘Tis the season. I confess, I’ve come to secretly love this in-between time of year, in all its glorious sodden decay. My Sweetlandish garden is mostly magnificently dead, with the exception of my brave roses, still blooming surely but slowly. The last bud of the year is threatening to…   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…

November 7, 2012Toronto, ONIt’s been quite a month. One for the books, really. It’s my first morning at home alone in as long as I can remember, with nothing to do but drink my delicious black coffee, and tell you all my secrets. And so it shall be done…I had crazy dreams last night. Fell asleep half-reading my new Nancy…   see more…

October 10, 2012Toronto, ON Mes Amis, My goodness has it ever been an adventurous few weeks – and so busy! I have lots and lots to tell, but sadly not enough time to tell it… Soon, I promise. Today was another glorious day in the studio with my dear Captain, Lyndell Montgomery, in the name of the glory of our…   see more…

September 4, 2012 Toronto, ON Good morning glorious world! And happy back to school day… It’s quite impressive that I appear to be so spunky on this thunder-rumbly morning, as it was quite a late one last night. Seriously. Spent the better part of the evening at beautiful Loft 404 for the Labour Day Underground Art Party! My gorgeous friend…   see more…
