Aerial viewpoints....the promise of detachment....

Dec 30, 2010 — Liane ("Li") Read, Sea to Sky Real Estate

What is it about an aerial view? It's what the birds see, right?    Especially those eagles that are floating about, on the updrafts, right now.   (Must be almost Spring...they are out there, wheeling about, untethered from earth). Distance does give perspective, though, and that might be a good attitude to take into the New Year.

Interested in coastal vineyards? Call me!

Thinking of a new "hobby"?    Here's one that might appeal...own your own vineyard! This sweetheart is on Salt Spring Island, in the midst of the "vineyard region"...apparently it's a lot like the Loire Valley in France, and similar grape varieties grow here, very happily.    This particular vineyard is planted in two red wine grape varieties from Switzerland.   

New Year's Resolutions?

Dec 29, 2010 — Liane ("Li") Read, Sea to Sky Real Estate

I know this is a "summer scene", but I think it's also very evocative of the New Year moment. There's something magical about being ready to go forward, into the "new". When the calendar page turns over, and we float from Dec 31st to Jan 1st, it's more than a physical turning of the page.     It's a saying "yes" to potential....

New Year's is a-coming...as all good Scots know!

Dec 27, 2010 — Liane ("Li") Read, Sea to Sky Real Estate

Lots of different seasonal traditions out there...often, it's great to "borrow" from others.   I like to do the French Reveillon on Christmas Eve, and I think to celebrate the Twelve Days of Christmas, such as in England and in Germany, putting the tree up on Christmas Eve and taking it down on January 6th, Twelfth Night, would be fun, too.

Christmas Eve is here.....

Dec 24, 2010 — Liane ("Li") Read, Sea to Sky Real Estate

Here it is, Christmas Eve...many people are caught up in the travelling web, in cars, on trains, on planes, on boats...all seeking to "be home", with friends and family, for this lovely season.... So many traditions, the ones that knit and bind us all together...often only visible at such times as this.
