The coffee in my hands offers a nice contrast to the snowy ground outside. As I sip it slowly this morning watching the air I am mystified by the quick change in weather that now fills the mornings with air full of ice crystals and snowflakes. As October 31 crystallized into November the shift brought… Continue reading Our first November Coffee
Here comes October! October is by far my favourite month of the year, and fall is my favourite season. This morning the buttery caramel flavour wafting from my coffee cup is muted by the smell coming from my scenty. A tart apple smell with tones of sweet buttery cinnamon fills the space in the room.… Continue reading Autumn Coffee
The last few weeks involved a RV road trip. We drove up into the Northwest Territories, and then we dropped down into northern British Columbia and curved back up into the Yukon. It was a great family experience, and one we actually want to do again. In one day’s drive we had bears (black bears)… Continue reading Coffee and pictures

The stripes are multi-coloured with shades of yellow, blue, reddish-brown, white and green. I loved these mugs and found a set of my own about 10 years… Continue reading Two and a half Men coffee mugs if we were having coffee
If we were having coffee I would start by thanking you for a great year of writing and coffee. For me it has been a year full of learning about the WordPress writing community as well as growing as a blogger. I have spent a bit of time reviewing my blog this last week because… Continue reading Coffee & a 2016 Review
It’s that time of year to start getting out holiday decorations, and that’s been a big part of this week. That said, my coffee mug today is a holiday one. Its base colour, the colour that rims the top and bottom, is snow white, not a fresh snow but one that is a couple days… Continue reading If we were having our first holiday coffee…
With a sudden gulp of air, I realise that I had momentarily forgotten to draw breath. Once reminded my breath now flows in short, quick puffs.
