LUnenburg nova scotia

I needed that.

Just got back from visiting family in Maine. It was just what the doctor ordered- no work for 5 days, lazing around whilst drinking wine, stuffing my face with delicious food and playing in the snow. I almost feel normal. Enjoy the photos and Happy New Year.

Bathing Caps and Bathing Beauties

The mornings are now chilly here in Nova Scotia. It still warms up pretty quickly, but summer’s days are numbered. My table at the farmers’ market is now filled mostly with fleece hats.

My Guy
