Wandered down the White Rock Trail this morning with my pal lulu belle.  The trail runs along the Gaspereau River.  This trail is centuries old, first traveled by the  Mi’kmaq people.  It is one of the most beautiful trails in Nova Scotia.  If you ever have the opportunity to go it’s worth the trip.  

Such a smart hiker, my dog totally navigated our way back to the car.  Like my little GPS.  But so much more adorable!  Who needs cell service, bring a smart dog and leave your smart phone behind;)

This movie was awesome!  I laughed, cringed, and cried.  Ethan Hawke (Everett Lewis) and Sally Hawkins (Maud Lewis) play the lead roles.  Sally Hawkins obviously put a lot of heart and soul into the role.  Ethan, I haven’t watch him in many roles, Dead Poets Society probably was the last one I saw.  I’m totally in his fan club now!  The Cinematography was beautiful.  Shot in NFLD but resembled Digby and Marshalltown N.S.  I was impressed.  

Vacay day

When I take a day off, I try to make it a recharge day, usually away from home so I don’t get caught up in chores.  Here’s what I’m doing so far:

Testing out my “pirate boots” because I’m wondering if I should keep them.  I’m still minimizing shoes and coats.  They need it be comfortable all day.  So far so good.


Turkey chilli from my new fav hangout, McGill’s restaurant café. It’s friendly, cosy, and tasty!  Accommodates my knitting…


And free wifi for bloggers like me:)

So I’ve been listening to some fabulous podcasts in the new year. A good friend M got me hooked.  I’ve found Lore, about folklore.  So awesome for a history nerd like me.  I’m a fan of true crime and forensic evidence, so Detective is fascinating.  Someone knows something is keeping me on the edge of my seat.  My New Years resolutions are getting kicked in the butt by The Minimalists.  These guys are so inspiring!!!
I went from this x 3…

A mess of yarn and books to this..

I like seeing the yarn.  Before I had a mess of colours and weights in plastic bins.
