Treasures…
What I consider to be treasures, is questionable. To my amateur Archeaologists eye I see a story, others may just see garbage. Walking through our land I found these throw away things that were tossed to the Kitchen Midi ages ago, when this land was ploughed and nurtured. People lived here. Now I find their broken pieces and can only imagine their daily lives.
Day in Life
Took a rather impromptu vacation day today. Started off with a little archaeology. Ended it with some knitting time with my knitting pals. Perfect!
This I’m knitting with local wool. Maritime Wool.
Louisbourg Day Five
My last day was great. I found a few more clues to the inscription. We were able to spend the afternoon doing some rescue archeaology on the shoreline. A burial has become exposed due to coastal erosion.
A nice way to spend an afternoon. Listening to the crashing waves and coastal birds.
18th century fashion
The handcraft guild at Louisbourg creates beautiful things. This 18th century ladies pocket I purchased today at The Fortress gift shop. They make great yarn bags. I like the idea of having a pocket to tie on. I probably could make it steampunkish. Well I could try…
Louisbourg Day Four
Happy Birthday to me!!! I had a great day. I volunteered in collections this morning then went exploring around The Fortress. I found another piece of the puzzle. Look at what they have to work with, it’s very intriguing.
Hmmmm….
Wore a few sparkly bits today…birthday suit…
Louisbourg Day Three
Another day and I found another tiny piece of the puzzle. “Hap” etched on a piece of window glass. I’d like to think it is the word happy but of course there are other options.
This is the piece I found yesterday… The plot thickens.
Louisbourg Day 2
A few discoveries today and a lot of questions still to be answered. The longer I delve into the bits and pieces the more I want to know. I found part of an etched inscription today. I’m feeling more and more like a code breaker. I used to love criptoquotes as a kid. I guess those interests that you develop as a kid, turn into your passions when you are an adult.
Visited Kennington Cove…
Day one Louisbourg
It’s that time of year again. My volunteer vacation at Louisbourg with Parks Canada Archeaology. Today I was working in Collections, which happens to be one of my fav places. Just think 1000’s of artifacts at your fingertips. My project was wading through a mountain of glass trying to find pieces that were unique. It’s like playing with a jigsaw puzzle. Lots of fun for me.
Lunenburg Academy Day Two
Lots of learning today onsite. Made some new discoveries on the genealogy front. They still have lots of digging to do to find the anomalies present on the geophysical study, I plan on joining the crew in June for the next stage. I’m excited already. We all need something to look forward to. This is my motivation for keeping a healthy mind, body, and spirit.
It’s a dirty job but somebody’s got to do it!
Fully exposed drain.
