Meandering Across the Countryside
This past fall our family decided to finally take a trip with just the 4 of us. Most of our vacation time up till this point is either working on large projects around the property or visiting friends and family in Ontario. We have lived in Nova Scotia for over 7 years now and still…

First Year in the Wildflower Field
Dear Reader,If you recall from the last post way back in the spring, I planted a whole bunch of wild flower seeds on top of our septic bed. As per usual, life is constantly in motion and time tends to get away from me. However, as winter starts to slowly creep over the land and…

May Showers Bring June Flowers
Today, I find myself sitting quietly on a Sunday morning listening to the birds sing. Laundry is washed and hung on the line. My daughter tidied the main living space and vacuumed the floor.

Spring is Here!
The mornings are starting to get noisy around here. Canadian geese are squawking as they make their way back. Chickadees, Yellow Finches, Jays, Cardinals, and Robin’s have started singing their songs again. As we get into May, I expect more migratory birds to arrive. Then it will really be a symphony of birds in our…

Walking Through Winter
January…the first month if the year. So full of promises and wonder. On the South Shore of NS, this is when the temperatures usually get cold. The colder mornings, we huddle by the fire wrapped in blankets to warm ourselves. For some reason my nose always seems to take forever to warm up. It’s on…
