Artist David Hockney shared the story of how a phi Artist David Hockney shared the story of how a philosopher on a news program was asked how he could be optimistic with the current news: “And he said: Well, that’s television. Bad news sells.” The reporter then inquired what the good news was, to which the philosopher responded: “Well, the arrival of spring,” Hockney continues laughing. Everyone, he said, used to notice and rejoice in the arrival of spring. When was it that people stopped celebrating spring? When was it that people stopped noticing? What if we all started looking beyond what is directly in front of us? We might just all see how incredibly beautiful the world really is! #spring #lookingforthegoodnews #notignoringthebad #blogpost #folksblogen #davidhockney #hockneyquote
We have been thinking about what it means to stay We have been thinking about what it means to stay in one place for an extended period. For our world to be reduced to approximately 30 square kilometres. About what it means to appreciate our immediate surroundings. And about people who live out their whole lives in one place, perhaps without a desire to explore any further. And some of our recent readings have contributed to that exploration. One of those books is A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles If we were exiled to live out the next 40 years in a hotel we would prefer a view of the water, possibly some outdoor seating for meals. Though if exiled you likely don’t get a choice of location.

When my mom was 18 years old she and her friend Do When my mom was 18 years old she and her friend Donna travelled to California by train. It was her first big trip! Some guy even proposed to her on the train. She didn’t accept but it was a story she loved to share. It is adventures like this that fuelled my own wanderlust early in my life. #travelstories #momanddonnatraveltocalifornia #trainsandplanes #1950s #travelinspiration
I wasn’t carrying a camera this morning. I was s I wasn’t carrying a camera this morning. I was simply walking Duff south along the Detroit River. In the distance there was a deep gray cloud hovering over the surface of the water making it difficult to see where the river meets the lake. It was eerily beautiful watching boats emerge and disappear through the veil of cloud. By the time we made it to the south border of the park the tree line was peaking out of the top of the cloud. I made a mental note to remember this moment. This afternoon, this. Proof that you needn’t go far afield for a change of view. #everchanginglandscapes #neverthesametwice #detroitriver #lakeerie #amherstburg #sky #clouds #beauty

We have been thinking about the desperate collecti We have been thinking about the desperate collective push for a return to normal. For routine. And wondering what it is about routine that people find so comforting? We think that for most people, routine propels them forward, gives structure to their days. For us, a strict and unchanging routine is a silent killer. A killer of creativity and joie de vivre. We have in fact been in one place for TOO long, many months too long. We have been in the same place for much longer than Covid-19. And, we are willing to remain in place for as long as it is necessary for the collective good of our community, for the welfare of the truly essential workers and for the vulnerable in our society. But be sure when the time is right our compass is already pointed directly towards the unknown, the unfamiliar and where words like routine and normal are not part of our lexicon.

It’s hard to say who was more startled by our ap It’s hard to say who was more startled by our approach to the barn. We heard them before we saw them. The sound was so loud it stopped us in our tracks. Then we stayed a while to watch the impromptu performance. #turkeyvultures #abeautifulperformance #bigcreekconservationarea #amherstburg
‘Normal is boring!’ ‘Normal is dangerous. In ‘Normal is boring!’ ‘Normal is dangerous. In more ways than one.’ and ‘Dogs are better than people.’ Well, they may not have said that last one but I CAN read between the lines. #wesupportbusinessesthatcare #careanoutworkers #careaboutcustomers #careaboutallpeople #commongood
Dear Humans, It’s the Victoria Day long weekend Dear Humans, It’s the Victoria Day long weekend in Canada. Doug Ford basically reopened Ontario yesterday and already I can see a whole lot of foolish behaviour out there on the streets of Amherstburg. Please, for the love of DOG, and, humans too, keep social distancing, keep wearing masks in shops, keep washing your hands and sanitizing. And please proceed as though every single one if you is either contagious or vulnerable! Because you are! And I need my humans to keep feeding and walking me! ❤️ MacDuff #listentomacduff #dogknowsbest #keepsocialdistancing #wearamaskinshops #washyourhands #sanitize #covid19 #thesecondwaveIScoming
