Revisiting First and Second Beaches
The weather cooperated and the wind wasn’t too strong to walk these beaches close to home. 6 km on a Sunday afternoon!
I Get Excited…
…when I find out a friend who has lived in Parrsboro longer than we have and they have never been to a popular look-off. My friend Robyn and I decided to get out before the weather changed. Exploring Partridge Island was the goal. Robyn had never navigated the trail up or down. I am confidentContinue reading “I Get Excited…”
Happy New Year, one and all!!
We woke up to the best news from Germany! Meet Louis, our grand-nephew, and our very own New Year’s baby in the family. He ignored all the due-date estimations and followed through on my prediction of arriving on January 1st.🎉🎉🎉 I started the year out fulfilling a promise to myself: my annual pilgrimage to ClarkeContinue reading “Happy New Year, one and all!!”
Just a little bit of snow…
…gone by noon!
The Cliffs are Disintegrating!
The annual scheduled birthday beach clean up with friends was cancelled due to the weather forecast. When I didn’t hear back from one of my out-of-town friends I decided to head to the beach and intercept him just in case. The road was wet! How wet? When the pine needles begin to form patterns youContinue reading “The Cliffs are Disintegrating!”
The Rain Drop
…no need to elaborate…
And just like that…
…Christmas is over for another year! We enjoyed watching our two little rascals opening their stocking gifts! They kept us entertained with their excitement, discovering a new toy, pulling on them, stealing them from each other and claiming them back. Besides preparing a turkey dinner with all the trimmings to share with neighbours I amContinue reading “And just like that…”
Happy Holidays…
From our house to yours, to all friends, family, past and future tour participants: Happy holidays! May your stockings be filled with good cheer!
Beach Treasures
And watching the wind create amazing patterns… Happy Friday, friends!
Winter Solstice Blessings
Yesterday’s glorious sunset promised a beautiful day ahead. Well, Mother Nature had a different idea. We woke up to strong winds and grey sky. Friends who had expressed interest in participating in the hike decided against battling the elements. The fact that there is no such thing as bad weather when one has proper clothingContinue reading “Winter Solstice Blessings”
Sunsets
If tonight’s sunset is any indication of what tomorrow brings I am predicting a spectacular Solstice hike…
Two more sleeps…
…until the guided Winter Solstice Hike to Clarke Head. At this time there are no registrations. It does not deter me. I am packing and getting ready. I recently invested in some audio visual accessories to capture video of my hike destinations. No matter whether I hike solo on Thursday or others join me atContinue reading “Two more sleeps…”
Winter Wind!
The weather predictions are real: it has been very windy all day, a typical pre-winter day with rain and wind. I couldn’t resist stopping at First Beach on the way home from appointments. Enjoy!
Feeling a bit like Christmas here
…if the Santa collection isn’t doing the trick… …perhaps a tray of home baking will do the trick.
Storm in the forecast
Monday’s forecast predicts storm activity. I love a good storm with great wave action… let’s see if I can capture some new video footage. Stay tuned!
Chill in the Air…
…winter arrives soon!
The Driftwood Log…
…hiding sparkling treasures. Happy Sunday!
