Mother Nature’s Ice Sculptures

Happy Saturday from snowy Nova Scotia!

Landscape Flashback

I could not resist sharing this photo memory from two years ago! Tuesday (Feb. 13th) I ventured to Clarke Head with the film crew. I blogged about it Wednesday (scroll back two days on this blog to refresh your memory). The video I am sharing has images from two years ago today… Happy weekend, everyone!

Sharing the beautiful place we call home…

Nearly three months ago to the day I received an email from Alex Mitchell, director and producer of onlyissueco.com. His email stated “We’ve been in talks with the folks at Cliffs of Fundy Geopark, M5 Communications, and Tourism NS about developing a mini-doc highlighting the Fundy Cliffs region and the people that make it great”.Continue reading “Sharing the beautiful place we call home…”

A Day of Firsts…

Yesterday was the first day of the Lunar New Year. When I let the pups out into the backyard in the morning I spotted four quarters on the deck banister and I considered it a good omen. It turns out they were left there last weekend in four inches of snow when a friend feltContinue reading “A Day of Firsts…”

Another busy Wednesday…

The regular walk in the morning… …followed by a snowshoe excursion in the afternoon. These are the things worth sharing. Just finished working on a proposal for five hours. Such tedious work without physical activity… and just like that another day is over! Good night, world!

I just knew it…

…when I roamed the beach last week with the winter storm in the forecast… I deliberately “collected” these treasures along the way! Enjoy!

Parrsboro Community Spirit Really Shone!

Meet Earl, the five month old Golden Retriever pup who played escape artist on Thursday afternoon. When his family was unable to locate him they posted a message to the Parrsboro Community FaceBook pages. Soon their entire neighbourhood was out searching in the bitter cold. It was about an hour before sunset when the callContinue reading “Parrsboro Community Spirit Really Shone!”

No time for a hike day…

It’s been a snowy winter’s day with medical appointments. I miss not getting outside to explore but here is looking at the bright side: I finished our Christmas present to ourselves. This is a fully functioning wooden wall clock. I bought it as a kit and assembled it over the past ten days. I didn’tContinue reading “No time for a hike day…”

Cumberland County Barnyard Tales

While picking up fresh eggs at The Farm on the Hill today attention was quickly diverted from the egg producers to the main man strutting around the yard. Mr. Turkey had received a name and was spared at Christmas time. He and his harem of two are destined to start a new flock. Gotta say:Continue reading “Cumberland County Barnyard Tales”

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!”

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…”
