Friday Five – Signs of Spring! Ha!

Today over at RevGals, it’s Friday Five time again. In Nova Scotia, we have been snow-bombed for the past week, with amounts close to 100 cm (39 inches) in some places. Many churches cancelled services last Sunday for the THIRD time since the middle of January. On street parking in Halifax has been banned as…

Friday the 13th Random Friday Five! (or F13RFF!)

1. What have you got going on today? Finished planning Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Sunrise Easter Service and most of the later Easter service.   2. What about a prayer request, how can we pray for you today? For energy. I find the switch to daylight savings time harder each year.  3. What makes you curious? Everything…

Last Year’s Dirt

Those are the words that sprang to mind as I opened a bag of candy beets to cook them for supper. We get a box of fruit and vegetables each week from Taproot Farms. This week we got beets! One of my favourite veggies. As you can see from the picture, they still had a…

Change is Good! Right?

“I don’t plan on changing anything while I am at St. Paul’s,” I said to my husband, shortly before I began my six month supply position with them, “It’s not really my role in a six month appointment.” “Really,” he says, the words drawn out a bit skeptically. His skepticism is valid, I am not…

Friday Five – Lucky 13!

It’s Random Friday Five over at RevGals.   1.  Folklore has it that 13 is unlucky.  Some rabble rousers think that 13 is lucky.  Do you have a lucky number, lucky “thing”, lucky anything that goes wherever you go? I have a ‘lucky’ button that it usually in the pocket of my robe when I am…

Friday Five – They Say It’s Your Birthday!

Over at RevGalBlogPals, the questions this week are all about birthdays! 1) Are you a cake or pie person? What type do you savor on your big day? Definitely a cake person.

But also this cake, there were chocolate and toffee bits between the layers.  Besides official holidays and your birthday, what’s the best day of…

Quack!

I‘ve been everywhere, man. I’ve been everywhere, man. Crossed the desert’s bare, man. I’ve breathed the mountain air, man. Of travel I’ve had my share, man. I’ve been everywhere. The Dastardly or Dreadful Duck hasn’t been quite everywhere, but he’s been around! And it must be male with those bright colours. It all started Christmas…
