  • A New Year’s Hike – Green Bay to Broad Cove (partial route)

    It was such a beautiful day yesterday, New Years Day, that we had to take advantage of it and go for a hike. When Scott suggested going to the coast, I pulled out our new Hiking Trails of Mainland Nova Scotia book and found one that was nearby – Green Bay to Broad Cove. The…

  • A walk around town

    I decided to take a little time away from the computer and go for a walk. They are currently doing some construction work uphill of the duck pond such that the loop around the pond is closed – so instead I decided to venture to downtown Bridgewater. I started by walking down to the river…

  • Gaff Point hiking trail

    We had an uncommonly warm day on Thursday – warm for October anyways – it was 20 degrees outside (70ish for my American friends). We decided that since it was warmer, it was time for us to finally venture out to the ocean. We have been so busy working around the house that we haven’t…

  • Getting a little settled

    I didn’t quite realize how much more settled and productive I would be when my office was set up again. Scott seems to do better with working wherever he can find a comfortable place to sit. On weekdays, we are balancing work with the various house projects that need doing – some more urgent than…

  • We closed, so now the work begins

    Packing, inspecting, charging the car, visiting the lawyer, having lunch, getting the car safetied, closing on the house, picking up keys, receiving PODs, getting NS licences plates for the car – long but productive day.
