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!!”

As 2023 Comes to a Close…

…the beach called for one last walk. I love New Year’s Eve in Nova Scotia. This is our fourth New Year’s Eve in Parrsboro and I am so grateful for the opportunity to visit one of many beaches on the last day of the year to let go of those things that might hold meContinue reading “As 2023 Comes to a Close…”

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?

And just like that…

Besides preparing a turkey dinner with all the trimmings to share with neighbours I amContinue reading “And just like that…”

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”

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!

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!
