This morning I have spent more time sighing into my coffee then anything else. I’m exhausted this morning. It has been a bit of a long week and I think it felt even longer because last week felt so fast.

I can’t take my coffee outside at almost minus 50 I am sure it will freeze in the mug that holds it. Instead I stand looking out the glass at the dark sky.

“Don’t’ buy that cup, its haunted!” My friend warned. With an eye roll I stroll to the counter with the cup. Two days later I sit down and try to settle myself in my favourite chair. I cuddle the warm blanket over my legs and a heavy sigh and eye roll follows because I am… Continue reading Haunted Coffee
Ah, here we are and it is June 1, 2019 already. Camping season is upon us and in light of that June’s theme is, you guessed it, camping.
