Now That Winter is Officially Gone...
I look back and think "well, that wasn't so bad". It's just a distant memory now that everywhere I look are trees with flowers, ditches with flowers, people's gardens blooming back to life everywhere, including my own spring surprises on our land.
Nova Scotia is called "Canada's Ocean Playground" but it could equally be named "Canada's Flower Wonderland". It's one of the first things I noticed when we moved here, just the absolute abundance of wild flowers everywhere. It's a magical place (9 months of the year) and I'm lucky to call it Home.
Some Birds
A few folks around here name their houses...
And I decided yesterday that is a life goal of mine now hahaha, to have a home with some land and then name it, I will be just like and
with their charming Toad Hall sounding like it comes straight out of "The Wind in the Willows".
A Beautiful View From Those Top Windows I Bet
It's Tourist Season
I always wanted to live somewhere that I could complain all haughtily about the damn tourists, life goal achieved. There are many tour busses going by to see historical Peggy's Cove Lighthouse and the incredible rocks now, and the best part is all of the sweet cars and bikes that come out to play too. Yesterday I got passed by about 40 Corvettes until I finally took out my camera and got some shots thinking maybe some of my friends here would like to see them. There are always car enthusiasts driving out in big gangs to Peggy's Cove.
The Boys Wanted to Swim in the Ocean!
It was so warm and muggy out yesterday that they just knew it was time to break in the old lifejackets and get out back for a swim. They didn't care when I warned them that the water would be freezing. Gotta love children. I was like that too when I was younger, you couldn't keep me out of water if the sun was out. I love having the ocean in our backyard, these next scenes are basically our whole summer. Paradise.
This is why we left the city...and even though we suffer a bit financially, I will take this any day over our old suburbia with no trees and no people around enjoying nature, everyone in their houses...it almost felt like a zombie apocalypse some days when I would walk around our old neighbourhood. Very few birds...houses almost touching...permaculture non existent...plastic, regulated, playgrounds, no one around just blue lights coming out of windows. We wanted to live somewhere where the whole land was our kids' playground, and we found it.
Kiedis First
Then Stryder
And then they both run back to Mom and Dad needing immediate towel snuggles!
Thanks for joining me on another beautiful day in Canada's Ocean Playground, the best place be for the coming financial Apocalypse.
One final piece of awesomeness, we are getting a visitor from the USA that we met on STEEM come this weekend, we're super excited to meet our buddy in Real Life!!! After all of these walks, I'm sure he'll be the one showing me around LOL! Looking forward to it Michael and I hope you have a safe journey here.
