It’s The Little Things…

…we delight in during a grocery run. The light near Five Islands was magical and drew us is! Every second the light changed! So grateful for living in paradise! Happy Weekend to all!

Planning ahead…

My goal for tomorrow: Clarke Head. Working on getting my lung capacity back to where it was before I got sick mid-November. The cough is persistent and do very tiring! The tide for tomorrow is perfect for a mid-day hike on the beach.

Quick Excursion to Cape d’Or

We were so pleased to reconnect with our friends from Saskatchewan today. Susan and Brian are spending some time in Nova Scotia. Knowing how much they love to discover new landscapes we made the late afternoon decision to make a quick trip to Cape d’Or. The light and the cliffs did not disappoint!

Leaning…

…into the elements! There are a number of evergreens lining the Parrsboro shore. This particular specimen is located at the entrance to Brookville Beach. Due to the heavy rain in the general forecast for Saturday we had to cancel our guided hike. And once again, my weather app predicted for the heavy rain to arriveContinue reading “Leaning…”

A Visitor…

…at lunchtime on Saturday. Once again I am reminded of how much slower and more relaxed porcupine’s behaviour is in Nova Scotia. I could only dream of getting this close when I lived in Saskatchewan. Happy Sunday, everyone.

We drove to Advocate Harbour and parked at the foot of the “hump”, the bottom of where the road toContinue reading “New-To-Me-Beach Hike”

Thanksgiving Blessings

Post-tropical storm Phillipe gifted us with a window decoration this morning! Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, Anna

Trail Scouting Day

We set out with the intention of hiking to Red Head Look-off in Five Islands Provincial Park only. The biggest reward was the way the cliff colours were illuminated just as we arrived at our destination. With the great weather we decided to hike through the campground and head toward the Estuary Trail, but notContinue reading “Trail Scouting Day”

Fall Colours at That Dutchman’s Cheese Farm in Economy

Just had to share! We stopped at That Dutchman Cheese Farm for some supplies and these are the colours that greeted us. Nothing can make a mundane shopping trip more enticing than lush flower beds and autumnal reds… enjoy!

Pictou Impressions

Pictou has come a long way over the past five years! We enjoyed our weekend in the area to learn more about its deeply-rooted Scottish history. If you have not visited I highly recommend doing so. The “Hector” Museum and Reproduction is well worth the time. There is a choice of restaurants and drinking establishmentsContinue reading “Pictou Impressions”
