Among the first green buds bursting open are the wild rose bushes lining the beaches. I am anticipating the blooms permeating the air with their sweet scent in just a few more weeks.

Parrsboro had a great turnout for their walk this morning. We wrapped it up with a nice lunch at the Harbour View Restaurant. For the afternoon we headed down shore to West Advocate for a lively group of of adults and children! My heart is full! Thank you to everyone who helped make this dayContinue reading “NS Walks Day 2024”
Clark Head in Flat Light…
Sharing my favourite local beach at the end of the day. We stopped under the arch and enjoyed a freshly made cup of coffee. The perfect way to end a slightly gloomy day!
Reflection…
A nearly full Pink Moon last night… can’t wait to check out tonight’s reflection in the backyard waterway.
Earth Day 2024
We had a fabulous turn out for the Earth Day hike to Clarke Head. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. John Calder for sharing his in-depth knowledge of the area and to geoscientist Louise Leslie from GeoLearn for providing answers to on-the-spot questions along the way. This was the first joint interpretive walk between theContinue reading “Earth Day 2024”

Looking forward to this special interpretive Earth Day hike. Due to illness Dr. Calder will not be attending. Instead local geoscientist Louise Leslie from GeoLearn will be sharing her knowledge and insights as we make our way to the Clarke Head arch.
Earth Day 2024 Free Guided Hike
Please mark your calendars! You do not have to be a geologist to be amazed by the coastal cliffs and sea stacks at Clarke Head. The cliffs in places are contorted into improbable shapes like something from a Dr. Suess drawing, are faulted against one another, and contain unusual minerals and fossils. This particular stretchContinue reading “Earth Day 2024 Free Guided Hike”
Wards Falls Woodland Hike
The trail to Wards Falls holds treasures to discover any time of the year. We were happy it wasn’t too muddy. The brook was gurgling gently as we navigated the trail of sixteen bridges, criss-crossing the woodland stream as it glistened in the sun. We even found some icicles in the shaded areas. There wereContinue reading “Wards Falls Woodland Hike”
Crocus Time
After the excitement of witnessing the near total eclipse of the sun it’s time to focus on things closer to home. The flowerbeds are getting ready for their annual colour display. First to make an appearance: the humble crocus.
Spring on Pause…
Spring hit the pause button today. There was snow, huge fluffy flakes… and it looked more like Christmas would be on its way. But it’s April and it won’t last long! 😊
Clarke Head in April
The day has been filled with typical April weather, sunshine and snow flurries, grey storm clouds and strong wind. Anne, Molly and I didn’t let the weather deter us from a brisk hike to Clarke Head. Thanks for joining me!
Two Islands Beach Easter Sunday Walk
When the sun finally made an appearance after three solid days of rain it was time to finally head to the beach! I arrived just as the tide was turning. There was still plenty of time left to explore. Best of all: the beach was mine, not another soul in sight! It was my firstContinue reading “Two Islands Beach Easter Sunday Walk”

Parrsboro’s First Beach at Low Tide
There wasn’t much time to get a walk in today. We are so fortunate here in Parrsboro that the beach is very accessible. It was a great day for finding sea glass and enjoying the view from the edge of the water before the tide pushed us back to high ground.
NS Walks in Parrsboro…
…rain or shine: the smiles never stop! We are into our third year of walking at least once a week! Such a great way to connect with community members.
Bush Whacking Adventure Leads Us Up the Creek
The plan to visit Hidden Falls was quickly abandoned when this happened: When Heather broke through the ice and diverted the flow of water we quickly changed plans and set out for another option. The creek without a name near Moose River was calling us. We quickly left the skidoo path and made our wayContinue reading “Bush Whacking Adventure Leads Us Up the Creek”
