The NaNoWriMo project is done and I wrote 51,000 words, just enough to be called a winner. I am not pleased with the story as it is and realise that it will need a lot of work if it is to ever be ready to be published. On the agenda for today, was a visit to Elida for a massage at our health centre. I was fortunate to get an authentic photo of the two of us in a scene…
Today it snowed overnight. Once my wife left for work at six-fifteen, I got busy shovelling some of the snow. In the image, you can see her footsteps heading out to the road. And yes, it was cold outside, the snow wasn’t going to go away without a lot of help. I didn’t do the whole driveway while nude. After all, the world around me was about to wake up. In the afternoon, I shovelled off the back deck and…
Yesterday I drove to Regina which meant a naturist photo stop at the Landing, where I took this photo just off to the west side of the bridge. There was frost on the grass and the low bushes. Yet, it didn’t matter. At this time of year, I am more used to colder temperatures. It wasn’t a moment for being an exhibitionist, as I made sure that I was not able to be seen by a rare passing vehicle on…
Two days ago, I went down to the Landing in the late afternoon and got a few photos such as this one, of me standing on a log at the edge of Diefenbaker Lake. It was a gloomy day, but I didn’t let that stop me from taking advantage of basically being nude, especially when there was no one else to be seen in the Provincial Park. I got to wander along the shore of the lake, far from any…
I am back home after another set of book-signing events. I had sales events in Airdrie and Red Deer at the beginning of August. Then, I returned to Red Deer at the beginning of September and which I then used as a home base to do four events in Calgary with a break of a few days before doing three events in Edmonton the following weeken I sold 146 books, including 17 two days ago in Lethbridge. I sold other…
I am away from home, and at present, sitting in a Tim Horton’s coffee shop for a simple, fast-food breakfast while waiting for the nearby Chapters book store to be ready for my book-signing event. This is my third such event in Calgary in three days. Friday I drove from my home in Saskatchewan, to Calgary. I left in darkness as it was a five and a half hour drive across the prairies to reach the first Chapters bookstore. I…
Today is round two of making jerky. Yesterday I experimented with lean, ground beef with good results. There were only a few changes needed, a bit more seasonings, and a little less salt for my taste. So, yesterday afternoon, I ground up a kilogram of deer meat and then added the seasoning so that it could sit overnight in the refrigerator for this morning’s session of making the mixture into jerky. All of this was in response to my children’s…
My life isn’t totally spent outdoors while nude when there is sunshine. As with most other people, I do have to do other things even if the sun is shining such as today’s projects of making some beef jerky and changing a bathroom light fixture. Of course, those things can be done while nude as can almost everything that I find I need to do around the house and yard. Outside of our home and garden, it is a different…
This is not the best kind of image for promoting the philosophy of naturism. However, it is a very real image of how one copes with the weather here on the prairies this morning. It was only 8 Celsius with a breeze and very heavy dew when I took this photo of myself. I was outside before the sun’s rays had reached our back deck which meant that I chose to wear a robe. This is “normal” whether I am…
It seems that I am avoiding posting here, or writing in my journal. I realise that there is something behind this, but at the moment, I am not quite aware what is behind this reluctance to write. I had a lot to write about, including another trip to Green Haven Sun Club with my wife, gardening, book selling-signing events, and just ordinary life that is so extraordinary. I noticed it about three days ago. Rather than write, I wandered through…
