On Wednesday I might have wondered if anybody still cross-country skis. By yesterday, it was a different story.
In an e-mail, my friend Norm Vanstone, who lives in Huntsville and cottages in Dorset (now there’s a nice weekend commute), happened to mention the Muskoka Loppet, a...

I know it’s still cold and snowy out and summer seems a long way off. Still, it’s good to think about sunny times to help get through the dark, dreary days of winter. Here at Cottage Life, we’re finishing up our April...

Guest post by Jackie Davis, assistant editor. I spent Saturday and Sunday with some friends, at a place on Lake Ontario, across from Amherst Island (just outside Kingston). We were there for a combined Girls Weekend/Baby Shower/Birthday Party/Fondue Night. (No, seriously: We...

In case you weren’t aware, we’re now in the second year of the United Nations Decade on Biodiversity. You’d never know it from reading the papers. Case in point: Once again, the Ontario Environmental Commissioner, Gord...

Guest post by Jackie Davis, assistant editor. Last week, an acquaintance of mine from the gym told me to “have a safe day.” Which means either a) she’s forgotten that I work at a magazine, and she thinks that I’m a coal miner, or maybe a crab fisherman, or b) she thinks...
