Growing Season

The flowers are plentiful this year.  Fruit bearing trees are a growing.  Strawberry season is about done for the year.  Speaking of which, I can NOT understand how some stores stock strawberries from the US and people purchase them?  Help me understand why when we have our own fresh strawberries right here in Nova Scotia?  The granddaughters above were picking at Dempseys Orchard yesterday.  

I didn't blog last weekend, I was away in PEI to my Niece's wedding, Jillian and Dylan MacDonald are now married.  Was a wonderful wedding.

Summer Summer, Summer

I think Summer has FINALLY landed!  Man it has been some warm!  I had my daughter and grandkids for the past week and it flew by!

The week has flown by and I had to look at my...

In a Heart Beat

Everything can change in a heart beat.  Our dear Mary (pictured above), member of the Northport Loopers, passed this week.  Her presence will be missed by so many, especially her daughter Kim who took her mother most weeks to hook in Northport.  I hope reading everyone's condolences gives her some solace.  One main theme said about Mary is her smile.  She always had a welcoming smile for everyone.

This past week I attended a rug hooking retreat in PEI hosted by Periwinkle Laine.  The below picture about sums up the week,...
