We haven’t gone anywhere since returning from New Zealand in May. We’ve been staying close to home, spending time with friends and family, gardening and doing stuff around the house. But summer was ending and we wanted to make the most of our time with M before she started daycare in September. We planned a short one week road trip to Quebec and decided to spend the weekend at the cabin since it was somewhat along the drive.

The Cabin – November 2024
We had a fabulous fall in 2024. The leaves were a bit delayed in changing colour because it was warmer and drier than usual. But the cold and rain was finally catching up. It wouldn’t be long until we had our first snowfall. So we decided to head to the cabin before it got much colder outside.

It’s finally starting to feel like spring here in southern Ontario with warmer weather and a lot of sunshine. But it’s only a matter of time before the mosquitoes become active.

The Cabin – April 2022
Spring is always an exciting time of the year as new growth starts to appear and the days get longer. We’ve had to wait a bit longer than usual this year for our flowers to bloom and trees to bud. But once that happens, it’s only a matter of time until the bugs come out with a vengeance. So, with nice weather on the forecast for the weekend, we decided to visit the cabin before the bugs take over for the next few months.
The Cabin – January 2022
In some ways it feels like we were right back where we were a year ago with this pandemic. While Ontario wasn’t back in full lockdown, new restrictions were put in place just before Christmas, including reducing capacity limits for indoor gatherings. Similar to last year, we decided to ring in the New Year at the cabin to get a change of scenery and momentarily escape from the world around us.
