Have you ever watched “The Curse of Oak Island”? It is a History Channel reality tv show about a pair of brothers who are searching for the cursed treasure of Oak Island, which happens to be in Nova Scotia. While “The Curse of Oak Island” is a long running show. (I think they just finished season ten?) I learned… Continue reading Hunting for Cursed Treasure

Going up!
Lacey pushed the button with the wheelchair symbol on it and waited until the lady behind her had gone through the door before she entered. The breeze caught her hair and tried to tug it out of its ponytail. A seagull hobbled across the parking lot, stopping now and then to peck at what it… Continue reading Going up!
Pistachio’s Sway (Drabble #3)
Are you a fan of ice cream? I loved it as a kid, unless it was vanilla. As an adult, I developed a sensitivity to dairy, and my husband and sons aren’t big ice cream eaters, so it’s a rare occasion when we have any at our house. However, when my boys were younger, they did enjoy… Continue reading Pistachio’s Sway (Drabble #3)
In Aisle Three
Trish turned from the gift card rack and moved towards the houseware aisle. “It was good to see you.” His brow furrowed. “That’s it. No further conversation?” That was the idea. She had realized from nearly their first meeting that it was far too pleasant to be standing close to Henry and talking, and the… Continue reading In Aisle Three
Hello, Summer! Farewell, Spring.
As summer begins here in the northern hemisphere, I thought I’d share a few late spring photos of nature that I found while walking. The top and bottom left images were taken at Acadia Gardens, which is, as you might know, one of my favourite local places to take a short stroll. Everything was green… Continue reading Hello, Summer! Farewell, Spring.
A Stroll through Pete’s on a Soggy Saturday
Spring around here has some of my favourite weather: sunshine, a nice breeze, and cool to warm (but not hot) temperatures. However, not every spring day is so perfect. Some… or is that many? 🙂 … can be quite damp. Such was the case a couple of weekends ago. So, where did my husband and I go… Continue reading A Stroll through Pete’s on a Soggy Saturday
The Salt Marsh Trail (in the rain)
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
Finally a sunny Sunday!
Finally, we had a weekend day that was good for taking a walk here in Lower Sackville, NS. It was COLD but sunny. The temperature was well below freezing, and there was a light breeze. I bundled up in multiple layers, and my husband and I tried out a new-to-us trail. This trail is paved and… Continue reading Finally a sunny Sunday!
The Sackville-Bedford Greenway Trail
On a sunny and not too cold day at the end of December 2021, my husband and I took out final trail walk of the year. The trail we chose to walk is located between the TransCanada highway 101 and the Sackville River and is known as the Sackville-Bedford Greenway Trail. We started on the… Continue reading The Sackville-Bedford Greenway Trail
