5 Favourite 2019 Powell River Books Blog Posts
Each year I enjoy sharing blog posts from throughout the year that were favourites with my readers. Here are the top 5 for 2019 in order. Click the titles to read the complete posts.
1. 5 Acres and a Dream by Leigh Tate: I enjoy reading books written by people, especially women, who homestead or live off the grid. Leigh's homesteading book was both engaging and helpful at the same time. And I continue to follow her blog.

2. Back Up the Lake: In late March we finally got back to our float cabin home after a two month stay down in the States for our Rental RV Road Trip and an extended period in Bellingham. Coming home is always such a wonderful feeling.

3. Spring Garden Update: After an additional six weeks in the States, we got home in late May. There was just enough time to prepare my floating garden and containers on the cabin deck for planting.

4. Coastal BC Plants - Indian Pipe: As I discover new and interesting British Columbia plants, fungi, insects, animals and birds, I write about them on my blog. Click the links to see the posts.
Related post: Cabin Journal: Beds, Bugs and Birds. I also write and draw illustrations in my cabin journals.
5. Summer Cruising Part II: Last summer we went out in our Bayliner 2452 on the chuck (ocean) several times. The Strait of Georgia is a very popular cruising spot and it's right on our doorstep.

DeleteMargy - I admire your ability to maintain two blogs, all while having so much FUN! I am sure your readers revel in your spirit of adventure and your interesting tales! Once again, Happy New Year to you both!
ReplyDeleteI used to have only one and it has now grown to four. I split off my original blog to try to keep the content more relevant, but as you can imagine, having enough content and time is a challenge. - Margy
