What did you do over the long weekend? We went to Quinte Conservation Area for the second time and it was a-amazing. Once again. By the time we got there on Saturday Jane and Doug had been there for a few days already. Pepper, ever the adventurer in the beginning, was exhausted by then.

Now that I think of “relaxation” in general, every vacation I’ve taken in the last two years has been a working one – either as a volunteer, researching a story, running around to [...] Setting the tone for this post, the Campfire Necklace – a tooled and hand-painted blaze strung on my favourite vintage brass filigree.
