Ann's Ruralish Life > About Ann's Ruralish Life
Ruralish life is changing all the time. You might see a wild deer, or a horse and
rider on your road - and just around the corner is a major grocery chain, and ever-increasing highway traffic.
Artist Ann Morash, creator & webmaster of LearnPysanky.com
and Ann's Ukrainian Gift Shop, shares her ruralish life through her words and
photographs.
Topics include:
•
FOOD! - her
favorite recipes and
city restaurants
•
Ruralish life in Nova Scotia (of course) - wildlife, birdwatching, gardening (Ann's annual struggle with veggie gardening, entitled
BeanDreams), and environmental issues/green living.
•
Ukrainian hertiage - holiday celebrations, FOOD! & cultural observances stemming from her Ukrainian heritage.
•
Her furry family - a bright but over-energetic dog, and an ever-increasing number of cats she
and her boyfriend have rescued from the wild.
•
Her latest ornamental art designs & shop updates - from Ukrainian folk art, to Celtic and Japanese
designs, and everything in between!
Here's a cast of blog characters :

Dave - my honey since '93
|
Molly - our cranky-old-lady cat; she can still be sweet though!
Named for Paul Molitor's nickname.
|
Baby Boy - our cuddly, but thuggish, cat. Born feral,
we caught him in our backyard, tamed him, & have loved him ever since.
|
Peepers - one of two feral cats that came to live
with us in 2007. He showed up mysteriously one day, staring in our back window for hours and hours, unblinking.
We fed him, and he never left again (except to hunt a few hours at night). Moved indoors with us in July 2007. Still very kittenish,
even though he had been living on his own in the wild for a while.
|
Kuroi, aka Pretty Kitty - our latest furry addition, showed
up about a week after Peepers came indoors. This guy is way more feral, and is taking a long time
to get used to domestic life. We brought him indoors before the snows started to fly in November, 2007.
His name means "Black" in Japanese. Can you tell why he's called that? :) He's so black, it's hard
to get a good pic of him because the camera can't focus!
|
Casey - the sweetest, gentlest dog we've ever known;
our best girl, our huge German Shepherd Dog.
