Minimalist Fashion

Dear Readers;

I searched for ages to find this inspiring video about minimalist fashion for my grand-daughter, Laxmi. Then I thought that maybe others would appreciate seeing it as well.....so here it is.

I've been working on only keeping what my husband and I actually wear. I've used one bedroom to store all the things that I feel that I won't be using anymore. From that bedroom I will be moving it all to a new home...bit...by...bit.

I do have seasonal wear hanging in another closet.

Until next time.

Five items on the left side will be stored for the winter.


Left side of the drawer is mine and right side is Gords. Everything on the surface will be moved to the office or bathroom.

Thoreauvian Lifestyle

Dear Readers;

I like to watch this video at least once a month.

I find simple living to be such a draw....yet kind of scary at the same time.

To live simply can mean something different for everyone.

Personally I would find the small space that this couple lives in to be restrictive. I like large spacious rooms with very little furniture. In that space I feel as though I can breath easier....or.... I could do cartwheels around the room if I wanted to ....that is...if I could do cartwheels in the first place:)

What would your simple life look like?

Hare Krsna,
Lal

Cape Breton Here We Come!

Dear Readers;

Now that Sachi is being milked only once a day,Gord,Natha and I decided to take a one day trip to drive the worlds' eighth best drive in the world.....The Famous Cabot Trail of Cape Breton!

Going on a trip with Gord and I is usually an adventure because Gord has "Directional Dyslexia" and I can't read a map worth a damn. When we drove the PanAmerican Highway through Central America...I had managed to miss EVERY circle road around a city and got us stuck in the market places where there was only room for bikes and donkeys. Well.....not to disappoint anyone and ruin my perfect record..... I managed to get us lost ...twice on this trip:)

We were up bright and early...which is not new for Natha because he is usually up doing his meditation at two thirty a.m. but Gord and I were showered..changed...lunch packed...mint tea made...fresh milk in a thermos and out the door for six a.m. We made it to the Wood Island Ferry in seven minutes flat from our door!

There weren't very many cars or people on the Ferry at that time so it felt like having our very own private ride across the Northumberland Strait. The ride was a mere 70 minutes and I caught this shot of the sunrise.

The day was perfect from beginning to the end. We made it back to the Cariboo Ferry for the six ten sailing...just on time to milk our cow:)

I hope that you will enjoy the pictures and if you get a chance please drive the Cabot Trail...it is so worth your while. I tend to be a bit jaded.... consequently I'm not so easily impressed...but this ride....I would do it again...but next time I am taking my hiking shoes to walk some of the trails!

I missed taking a shot of a sign that read....."IF IT'S NOT SCOTTISH IT'S CRRRRRAP! Many signs on the trail are in Gaelic and the Island even boasts a Gaelic School where the Scots from Scotland come to learn their own language.

We made it back to the Cariboo Ferry for the six ten sailing and arrived home just on time to milk our cow ...Sachi.:)

Take care...
Hare Krsna.
