This past Saturday, I was just itching to get out of the house and go somewhere. It’s spring, so these moments of “let me outside” happen now and then. Usually, they happen on pretty, sunny days. Saturday was not such a day. It was sunny and cloudy and growing grey when we left the house.… Continue reading The Salt Marsh Trail (in the rain)

Nature in the City
What a lovely Saturday this past Saturday was! It was so nice that my husband and I were able to walked a new-to-us trail. (We’ll be back to walk this trail again.) This one is surrounded by houses and apartment complexes. So that meant there were sounds of nature like water babbling along in a… Continue reading Nature in the City
A Turn in the Road (Drabble #2)
These drabbles aren’t supposed to be connected in any way, but I sometimes can’t help making connections. It’s part of the way my brain works. 🙂 This second drabble goes with Drabble #1 because someone on Instagram commented on that drabble asking if the guy in the van at the corner might be the girl’s… Continue reading A Turn in the Road (Drabble #2)
Courage to Forge Her Future (Drabble #1)
What is a drabble? Simply stated it is a 100-word long work of fiction. There should be a beginning, middle, and end, but not all the story will appear on the page. Some of the story will just be understood and felt by the reader as it is for the writer. For me, these drabbles… Continue reading Courage to Forge Her Future (Drabble #1)

We started on the… Continue reading The Sackville-Bedford Greenway Trail
Light Up the Park (Lwr. Sackville)
I hope your holiday season was a good one. Mine was relaxing and relatively quiet, which is just how IÂ like the holidays to be. My husband had some time off over the Christmas break, and we took a couple of walks. I took some pictures on two of those occasions. The images above are from… Continue reading Light Up the Park (Lwr. Sackville)
Lawrence House Museum Details
The sweeping curve to the stairs, the squeak of a floor board, the intricate carving on a piece of furniture, the clever and innovative way things serve a purpose… It’s all those little details that make visiting historic homes fascinating for me. I guess it’s the stepping back in time and imagining what life was… Continue reading Lawrence House Museum Details

Cumminger Bros. (Sherbrooke Village)
Has anyone done any bargain shopping this past weekend? Or maybe you’re set to do some today. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are big days for those in the business of selling things. (I even have a sale going on for my other pen name. 🙂 ) Shopping in 1860s Nova Scotia would have been a… Continue reading Cumminger Bros. (Sherbrooke Village)
