I found this note I wrote for a blog before COVID I think, and thought I'd share some
of it tonight:
"Dear artist friends, get your dream visions down. This beautiful view across
the street at our school house is what we dream about. (See the image above).
the street at our school house is what we dream about. (See the image above).
We dream about walking across the street from our little school house at this
time of night, late, late and seeing the stars, the entire Milky Way clear as can be.
We dream of going to the beach, we think about it night and day, and
feel so lucky that we have had this joyous experience year after
year. The only year since we bought the school house just over 20
years ago that we didn’t go, was the year I broke my ankle. The year
I tore my meniscus in my knee — our wonderful friends down the road, not only
cleaned up the school house before our arrival, they brought over a
double bed and put it on the main floor, because they thought it would
be too hard for me to climb the stairs to the second floor to go to bed.
But this year as we will say over and over to one another, is different.
And this year we are focusing on all that is wonderful both here at
home, and where we can get too. Ottawa was beautiful, the drive
was beautiful, and our street right here in Toronto is lovely.
The dog and cats are waiting for me to feed them their night snacks. Please
enjoy wherever you are, and if you’re in the Maritimes and drive
by our school house on Highway 6, say hello to the building for
us."

We did miss going one other year during COVID (yes I know it's still
during COVID), when we were not allowed to enter the province of
Nova Scotia. That was hard. And I still have all of the same dreams.
Plus the dog and two cats are waiting for me to feed them their night
snacks. Lol.
