Enjoy The Weather You are Dealt With

We are experiencing some very cold weather here in Nova Scotia.  Whether you like it or not, it will still be cold and snowy so we my as well embrace it. The above photo was taken by my friend Lisa who lives at the top of the Cabot Trail.  She belongs to a snowmobile club there and this photo she snapped yesterday at the top of the Highlands.  What a view.  Enjoy the weather you are dealt with.  Perfect for snow shoeing, skating, snowmobiling, a drive enjoying the view, if we...


The Deep Freeze

The above sunrise was yesterday, it was so pretty I had to take a photo.  The saying is 'red sky in the morning, sailors take warning'.  Today we started with freezing rain.  We are expected to be plunged into very cold weather this week.  It was bound to happen right? Speaking of the cold, do you have an over stuffed deep freeze in your home?  I do!

Are you going to make this year the best ever? Do you believe you are in control of such an outcome?  I am a firm believer that if you think positively, good things will...


Second Sunday Before Christmas

What a wonderful week we have had weather wise in Nova Scotia for the beginning of September, we are so blessed. Friday, some like minded fibre friends and I traveled to New Glasgow for the Woolstock East Fibre Festival. Wonderful day and above we enjoyed a meal in Pictou by the water. Has been many years since I had visited Pictou, reminds me of Lounenburg, NS.
