Saturday Morning Post

The week in pictures......

Solo tree on the Salt Marsh Trail just down the road......

From my perch at shop.....

Doing the '207 loop'.......

Medicine bottles at the shop.....

Where the sky meets the earth......

We felt like the paparazzi  last Monday

when we found ourselves in the

same pizza shop as 'Sid the Kid'.....

he is a local celeb  around here....

think NHL, Pittsburgh Penguins,

all round nice guy.

Stony Beach....one of three beaches I can see from my perch at the shop.....

Had a giant birch tree taken down the other day.....

it was leaning just too close for comfort towards

the power lines far too long.

Her Majesty is showing off everywhere.....Queen Anne's Lace.

Speaking of royalty.....Princess Sophie and her new hair cut.

I like this version done by 'Lauryn Hill'

who was in town this week performing at the Halifax Jazz Festival.

My nephew said it was the best concert he has ever seen.

Enjoy and have a wonderful Sunday everyone.

The colour of summer continues......

'U-Pick' veggies at the shop.....

Our cherries are ripening as I speak.......usually the birds get them

before we do. That's OK.

Some changes to happen at the shop in the next while......

clearing out all the textiles (quilts and blankets) first.

This flower and insect caught my attention yesterday......

And people continue to swim in this very dangerous water.....

Wednesday from the shop I spied Ron and Sophie up by the river......

Sophie digging and Ron trying to get photo of a drone high above him.

Here are two Pitcher Plant flowers we found at Peggy's Cove

on Thursday.......

As I mentioned above, we were at Peggy's Cove for a couple of hours......

in the fog but that was okay with us.

Where did this strawberry pie come from you may ask?

Well, we were at our friends', Mike and Cathy,

and she served this scrumptious dessert!!

(it had a crushed almond crust)

Now back to Peggy's.......it is full of these strange rocks.

I am wondering how long the little rock has been holding up the bigger one.

We found a very narrow trail that wove us through

 this maze of rock and flora.

It was very chilly along this part of the south shore coast......

and that suited Sophie just fine, thank you.

Para-surfer at Stony Beach.....

Contemplative Monday

"There is a Zen story about a man riding a horse that is galloping very quickly.

Another man, standing alongside the road, yells at him,

"Where are you going?"

and the man on the horse yells back,

"I don't know, ask the horse."

I think that is our situation.

We are riding many horses that we cannot control."

Considering the state of the world in which we find ourselves,
I thought a word or two by John Lennon would be appropriate.

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone.
