Saturday Morning Post


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."

by Thich Nhat Hanh from 'Being Peace'

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.

Contemplative Monday



DROP THAT DIALOGUE

"We can become so caught in our own internal dialogue
that the people around us become invisible.

An important part of meditation practice, therefore,
is to non-aggressively drop that ongoing conversation
in our head, and joyfully come back to the present,
being present in the body, being present in the mind,
not envisioning the future or reliving the past but,
if only briefly, showing up for this very moment."
