Last week I needed a recharge so I mixed work with leisure and ended up on this beach.
Sometimes you just need to visit those happy places.

Wandering around the Historic Gardens in Annapolis Royal recharged my batteries today.

The Hum by Dawn Illsley
I want to be in a place busy with the hum of voices.
Voices confabulating, words I can’t decipher.
Not here in the quiet.
My brain is free to wander,
Free to play the broken record of thoughts.
Ruminating in a stew of self doubt and words left unsaid
The perfect fall days
Beautiful.

Louisbourg Day 4
Another wonderful day…
Processing…
The Tall Ships are coming!!! The Bluenose was there when I drove in this AM. We had a chance to perch ourselves on top of Black Rock. Birds eye view. Lucky birds. 350 year old graffiti up here, a French solider carved "Louis" into the rock.
Louisbourg Day 3
So many great things today. Working at processing artifacts.
So beautiful! I love puzzles!
Got some fresh air when we checked out a few things around The Fortress.
After Volunteering I headed to Kennington Cove a popular beach nearby.
A truly glorious day!
Louisbourg Day 2
Nice and relaxing today.
Cleaning artifacts.
I found this artifact bag with my excavator initials on it from 2013.
A backlog of artifacts to process. I have my work cut out for me. It's pretty interesting to to see all the artifacts up close. One of my favourite things to do in the Archaeology lab.
