Bench on the Boardwalk in Fisherman's Cove.
It was kind of funny to sit here, because the grass was so tall you couldn't really see over it and it didn't feel like you were right on the ocean waters.

Black & White vs Colour ... Day 2
When the day comes that I have room to pile books all around me, chances are I will.
Even if I never read them, I just love having them. Stacking them. Making them look pretty.

B&W vs Colour - Day 1
This week I am going to post a pair of photos each day. They will be the same photo, one in colour, one black & white. I would love to hear which you like & why in the comments below. xo
Beach Day with Dan during his visit last week. We arrived at Queens Landing to find a beautiful fog over the water. It rolled out and cleared up long enough to enjoy some sun.

Market Fresh
Mom & I went to the Wolfville Farmers Market on Saturday morning.
We picked up some fresh veggies, and took in what they had to offer.
In comparison to the SeaPort market in Halifax, or the St. Lawrence market in Toronto, the Wolfville market is teeny tiny - but still has lots to offer & supports the local growers & businesses - which is what it's all about !!

Fresh Dough
It took 10 days to start this dough from scratch. But it was well worth it, as I can now bake cinnamon rolls whenever my heard desires !! I made a batch Saturday morning, and took a few quick shots with my iPhone to commemorate this first batch from the fresh dough.

Rainy Car Show
Saturday was the British Motoring Festival in Windsor NS. It rained all day, only clearly just before the exhibitors dinner at 7pm. Needless to say, the turn out of both cars & public visitors was far less than anticipated.
It was my first car show, and while the rain put a major damper on my photography plans, I still managed to take just shy of one hundred photos - balancing my camera in one hand and my umbrella in the other.

Home Grown
Our Topsy Turvy & deck pots are starting to yield berries for us to enjoy !! There have only been a few, but they are "ever bearing" plants, they will provide us with fruit all summer long !! A very exciting thought.
Sprouts
It seems the radishes grew overnight the first night the seeds were in the ground. They have the cutest leaves !!
The beans took a few more days, but then sprouted up out of the soil in a fast & furious way !! They are standing tall and growing more and more each day.
I love being able to wander out and see the new sprouts, increased height, new leaves, and exciting progress all the plants are making.
Also planted are carrots & parsnips, dill (for making pickles later this year), two kinds of pepper plants and sunflowers.
Loving having a garden for the first time since I was on living on the farm !!
It's Not Easy Being Green
My bathroom needed a little more colour ... because I am bright & cheery !!
Above Left: Bathroom before anything
Above Right: Bathroom primed !!
Below: My Pretty Green Paint : )
Below: 3 shots of my pretty painted bathroom : )
Loving it more and more every day !!
Berry Tradition
A few weeks ago, mom & I tackled a small crate of berries, hulling, slicing, sugaring, and freezing. They are very tasty !! Loving the NS local berry crop : )
This was such a small amount of berries in our books ... normally we tackle six 6qt baskets and make jam in addition to freezer berries.

Saint John
I just had a wonderful visit with Noelyn in Saint John !!
She showed me around uptown, we had drinks on a patio, enjoyed a little shopping & a movie - and had a great time chatting & catching up !! I am so glad we got to hang out before she moves back to ON soon !!

A little topsy-turvey
We have one of these 'as-seen-on-tv' strawberry plant growers in our yard ... and I have to say - it really works !! The plants are growing, and there are many berries in the making on it !! This photo was taken the day we planted it, which was about 2 weeks ago now (the first weekend I was in NS I think). I look forward to snacking on the berries as they ripen.

Oh Happy Day !! (One Day Late)
Happy 10th Birthday to my cousin Ryan !!
And Happy Anniversary to his parents, my Aunt Deb & Uncle Paul !!
Alright ... so really these celebrations were yesterday - June 20th ... but I had some computer & external hard-drive related issues yesterday, so the post was postponed until today.

New Bling
I found a new love-of-my-life website recently ... and while I have been browsing through the thousands of pages of goodies, I have found many inspirational ideas. This one jumped out at me b/c I had also seen it in Chatelaine magazine a few months ago and had wanted to give it a go then. I must have trashed that magazine, because I've looked through the ones on my shelf and cannot find the article. So I was delighted to find a link HERE to instructions on how to make this bracelet. Sure they are fairly simple, but I always like to read the how-to before trying something new. So I gave it a go, and am pretty pleased with the result !! I used leather instead of string, and silver hex nuts instead of gold, and I put a lobster clasp & jump rings on instead of tying it on permanently. I can see making many more of these as gifts for friends & family - so let me know if you want one ;)
