Busy
I seem to be getting into crazy busy mode again. It’s all good, but I tend to become a wee bit panicked at times. (read anxiety attacks) Somehow I always get everything done, but if anyone knows a good method of getting from point A to point B while still breathing please let me know.…
Read MoreLupine Love
When we lived in NY state I purchased some unknown to me flower called a Lupine. I never did get the thing to grow. My neighbour had a few in her garden that she prized and protected. Then we moved to Nova Scotia. One day I took a walk on the back harbour trail and…

Read Morea Day at the Market
It was the grand Opening of the Hubbard’s market today. Hauled myself out of bed at 5:30 a.m. Not a pretty picture. Fortunately by the time I arrive at 7 to set up, I am verbal. Always so fun to have the ladies trying on hats. Sometimes, for newer designs it’s great to be able…
Read MoreTo Market To Market
Today was the last day of the season for the indoor Lunenburg Farmers’ market run by Deborah and Steve at their cafe on Lincoln st. That’s the bad news. The good news is it’s time for the summer market outside of the community centre on Thursdays from 8-12. That just means more of a good…
