http://mcturgeon.com/blog A personal collage of thoughts on life, stories, observations and explorations, growing online since 2002. Fri, 23 Dec 2011 18:06:55 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Our solstice ceremony was quiet, with me and C ready to give back to the earth what we do not want or need anymore. We burned our little release bundles, just us 2, the moon and the stars. It felt good. As you can see, our part of the world doesn't ... http://mcturgeon.com/blog/2011/12/23/releasing-fire/ Le 22 décembre prochain soulignera le solstice d'hiver, soit la plus courte journée de l'année (ou la nuit la plus longue!) -- un moment important avant de débuter 2012, et se défaire de tout ce qui ne nous sert plus : peurs, limitations, croyances, résistances, douleurs, obstacles, souvenirs. La cérémonie a ... http://mcturgeon.com/blog/2011/12/16/solstice/ De retour à Montréal pour quelques jours - un retour inatendu, improvisé, de dernière minute. C'est presque par surprise que je me suis réveillée dans mon appartement du plateau ce matin. Un voyage tellement inatendu qu'en m'éveillant je me suis dit, mais qu'est ce que je fais ici?! Débousollée et fatiguée ... http://mcturgeon.com/blog/2011/12/01/salut-montreal/ Flowers still showing up in our garden. something i pretty much enjoy. Fall finally reached my part of the world. There is less sunshine, more rain, meaning, more time spent inside. Time to digg into projects, art, crochet, forest hiking, read by the fire, make plans for the end of the ... http://mcturgeon.com/blog/2011/11/02/this-one-is-for-you/ http://mcturgeon.com/blog/2011/09/07/jardin/ End of august, here is september already. What does september mean to you? Since i grew up in the northern hemisphere, with 4 seasons clearly defined by weather changes, september is for me a palette of orange-yellowish colors and shades. September means crisp morning air, blue sky, low sunlight and ... http://mcturgeon.com/blog/2011/09/04/hello/ Feeling like its time for holiday. Daily swims, taking care of my first (and tiny) garden, driving our new little Citroen (which has the color of pastis, my favorite apéro), having C's parents over for 2 weeks, eating good cheese, good bread, wine, cooking fig jam late in the evening, ... http://mcturgeon.com/blog/2011/08/16/summer-2/ I love our ground, and I can't seem to stop finding new angles of beauty among the olive trees and wild flowers. The sunlight is just perfect, giving each hour of the day a new shade, and i must stop myself from using all my Polaroid film at once! This said, ... http://mcturgeon.com/blog/2011/07/24/rose/ Les vacances sont officiellement commencées. Après l'été dernier passé à Paris, je me suis dis que pour l'été 2011, je célèbrerais l'été comme le font les français, quittant tout pour un mois complet, 4 semaines de vacances. Du temps pour jouer dehors, cuisiner, manger, célébrer, profiter lentement de l'été. http://mcturgeon.com/blog/2011/07/19/les-vacances/ Last pictures for the Polaroid Week 2011... This was so much fun! http://mcturgeon.com/blog/2011/07/15/roidweek-day-5/ I almost feel like hurting myself for missing day one of this polaroid week. Here are 2 snapshots taken earlier today, hope you are having a great week! http://mcturgeon.com/blog/2011/07/14/roid-week-day-4/ Ok i missed monday. Mondays are always a day where i try to catch on, and slowly start engines... Never a productive day, it feels like i'm just half there. So today is day 3 of Polaroid week, here are 2 pictures snapped today. http://mcturgeon.com/blog/2011/07/13/roid-week-day-3/ These are some of my pictures for Polaroid week, i'm still totally hooked to this instant pleasure toy! http://mcturgeon.com/blog/2011/07/13/roid-week/ Here is another polaroid taken last week. Summer in the south of france is hot, we can barely go out in the afternoon sun. Time for a siesta in the hamac, or inside our cool house under shades. http://mcturgeon.com/blog/2011/07/06/ete/ Cleaning the garage, which have been filled up for the last 30 years, i discovered an old Polaroid Camera. Not knowing how to use it, or if it was even working, i decided to play with it, ordered films (expensive films!) and 3 weeks later, here i am, completely addicted ... http://mcturgeon.com/blog/2011/07/05/no-accidents/
