  • Halifax Public Garden

    August 10, 2023 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Halifax has a beautiful public garden right in the city, located beside the Halifax Wanderers Stadium. While Keith met up with the GM at the stadium, I spent a couple of hours wandering the park. It had an amazing variety of plants, but I think Dorothy has even more at her house!Read more

  • Local Brew Pubs in Honour of Pat

    August 11, 2023 in Canada ⋅ 🌧 23 °C

    After a rainy morning we decided to explore the local breweries. Found one in Wolfville called "The Library". One of our servers was a student at Acadia university. When I asked her whether this used to be a library she said no, but it is great when your parents ask you how school is going and you can tell them you spent the whole evening at the "Library". Hee hee!Read more

  • Meet the Girls

    August 12, 2023 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    How fun to look after chickens! They are very funny creatures! One night I put them to bed and poked my head in to count and make sure all 8 were in. Three times I counted 7 and then realized that 1 was in the rafters!

    What a delight to go on an egg hunt every afternoon! One thing I am not sure about is whether white chickens lay white eggs and brown hens lay brown eggs. We have 2 white hens and 2 white eggs. 6 brown/black hens and 6 brown eggs. Seems logical, but must look this up.

    Our omelette this morning was delicious!! Thanks girlies!

  • Roadtrip Stop #1 Crystal Falls

    August 13, 2023 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    We started our morning with sunshine, but it quickly changed mid morning. We spent the morning on the covered porch catching up on the world cup games! 21 penalty kicks for Australia to win against France! Wow!! England Lionesses also made it through! Very exciting. After lunch (Egg salad-- thanks girlies!). We started our road trip! Our first stop was an off road drive and a hike to see Crystal Falls. (I think we were supposed to park and hike the whole way! Oops! Thank goodness for Dot's truck!)Read more

  • Road Trip Stop#3 Baxter's Harbour

    August 13, 2023 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Our last stop of the day was at Baxter's Harbour which is not far down the coast from Black Rock, but it looked really different! We were there when the tide was out so it was cool to see the rocks covered in seaweed and lichens and of course, I had to touch the water. It was very calm today!Read more

  • Whale Watching tour from Brier Island.

    August 14, 2023, Baie de Fundy ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    We had a long drive out to the Digby Neck. We took 2 ferries to get to Brier Island for a whale watching cruise. We couldn't get on the big boat so we took the tour on a speedy zodiac boat! Check out the fashionable suits we got to wear! We saw lots of humpback whales and some dolphins! We had a fantastic day!Read more
