I hope your holiday season was a good one. Mine was relaxing and relatively quiet, which is just how I 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)

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

Today’s entry into images of Nova Scotia, Rosebank Cottage, was built in 1817 by Captain William Ross and is part of Ross Farm Museum in New Ross, Nova Scotia. This museum has not only the cottage, but also several other buildings such as a school, barns, blacksmith shop, store, and cooper shop.  The farm is a… Continue reading Rosebank Cottage (Ross Farm Museum)

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)

Just like in the final scene in Don’t Tell Mom, my hubby and I got up on Thanksgiving prepared to go pick apples at an orchard we had been to before. Well, that didn’t happen. We drove past and saw the lines and the fact that even the overflow parking was overflowing, and decided we would… Continue reading Wolfville Watershed Nature Preserve

The Great Oak Trail at Sackville Lakes Provincial Park leads down to Second Lake. And I do mean down. The walk back to the parking lot was all uphill, and that part of the loop was steeper than the one we took down to the lake! 🙂 However, it was a beautiful October evening to… Continue reading Second Lake (Lwr. Sackville)

“Oh!” his mother gasped. “Does Will have a girlfriend? Is that why he is here to talk to you on a weekday?” Don’t Tell Mom I Have a Girlfriend The church pictured above is St. Stephen’s Anglican Church in Chester, Nova Scotia. My husband and I took a peek inside of it back in August… Continue reading Visiting Church (and not on Sunday)

How many shelves (or e-readers) would you need? Would your library be small and cozy or grand and extensive? Above are images from three libraries. Two are found in Nova Scotia historical houses, and the other is a modern library that stands downtown Halifax. (I’m sure you can guess which one that is.) Pictured from… Continue reading If Wishes Were…Books?

Acadia Park is a pretty little park located just behind our local library here in Lower Sackville. It’s a favourite place of mine to walk. I stopped here just the other day on my way home from the grocery store.  As you can see, it was a grey October day when I was there, and it… Continue reading Acadia Park (Lwr. Sackville)

I’m not a photographer like Brandon Bennett is in the Hatfield Falls series, but I do like snapping memories with my phone’s camera. There is a lot to take pictures of here in Nova Scotia. It truly is an incredibly beautiful part of the world in which to live. (But I might be biased somewhat… Continue reading Welcome to the Gallery
