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 sensible proposal?

“You’re set on a storefront?” Will asked. “What else would we have?” Emma seemed utterly surprised by his question. “We’re not looking to do online sales only.” “In-person sales don’t need a brick-and-mortar structure,” Will countered while leaning back to enjoy his coffee and giving her time to reason that out.

I assumed it… Continue reading Is there magic in those cinnamon buns?

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)
