Wow, what a crazy ride!
I don’t know how exactly COVID19 is affecting you, but I’m certain that it is in one way or another. We are all in this together; as families, as communities, cities and countries. I don’t know of one place on earth where this virus hasn’t touched lives. Nature Notes is still operating- although in a very different way than usual. This post is really personal.
I’m sure many people are following the news releases concerning the coronavirus (COVID-19). I know I am.
This is a quick post providing you with links to various resources specific to Canadians.

I now feel like we will be in this thing for the long haul: translation- This means months now instead of weeks. Continue reading COVID-19 resources for Canadians
Meet Glenda. Glenda is 48 years old and has nearby aging parents, a husband (Tom) and two older children. They are aged 17 (Dylan) and 21 (Courtney). Dylan is navigating his upcoming last year of high school. He tends to stay out a bit too late sometimes, and Glenda waits up for him. Courtney is attending a local university and is expecting her first baby.
Glenda works at an accounting firm, and March and April are very taxing on her. The hours she puts in means working through many lunches and getting home around 7pm. Sometimes dinner is made already, other times it is not. On these days, she often picks up something on the way home. On a good day it’s a Safeway chicken. Sometimes, it’s pizza…
She is just trying to make it through tax season, but right now her daughter also really needs her. Tom really does try to be supportive, but he doesn’t really understand what has happened to the women he married! She always seems tired, a bit distant, has been gaining weight, and he’s concerned that she might be a bit depressed.

Our decision to build a greenhouse was years in the dreaming. Then one day, we just decided to do it. We were ready. Our tomato plants were begging to be let outside but it was still too cold for them. It was a race against time as we prepared the site and foundation. Fortunately, we were in between snowfalls during this time. In Calgary, you have to be prepared for spring blizzards…they do happen. You’ll notice that when we started the site prep, there was no snow anywhere. And then there was! Continue reading Urban Greenhouse Project
