Stay a While

As I said, I'm a little backlogged. These photos of a trip Paul and I made

are from Friday. My uncle received some fresh crab for the fam and so we

drove to Margaree Harbour, which is on the other side of the island, to pick

it up. I'll never pass down a reason to make this drive, the scenery is just

too picturesque! Neither of us have been to the quaint town of Baddeck,

which is on the way, so it made the perfect place to stop for lunch. We

strolled down the bustling main street until we found a bench that over-

looked the water and we ate while sailboats passed us by. I think the

floral crown and bow added to the romanticism of it all. We're going

to have to come back and spend an entire day enjoying this town.

Through the Fog

Another summer weekend has passed. By the end of the season I am

going to be in need of a super rejuvenating hibernation to get my energy

back that's for sure! I'm a little backlogged with my blog, so we're going

back a few days with these pictures. My little cousins have been visiting

from Toronto for about a week now and on Thursday the family went to

the beach for a picnic. When we decided to have a picnic it was sunny,

by the time we ended our picnic we could barely see in front of us the

fog was so thick. But there were no complainants from my six and seven

year old cousins who thoroughly enjoyed splashing in the huge waves

created by the stormy weather! Me on the other hand, I snapped some

shots of yet another polka dot and striped ensemble. Even though I've

had these flats since December I'm only rocking them now! I usually

don't shop at Old Navy, but for Christmas I was there buying their

fluffy socks that my sister loves so much when I came across these flats

for only $8. Yes, please. I mean, my closet is full of people's leftovers

and unwanted things that I can treat myself now and then, no? It's nice

to own new things. Not a scratch, loose thread, or crease in these shoes!

It's a shame that eco-friendly stores gouge people for I'd be a loyal customer

if only I could afford it. I have a feeling I'll be a thrifter for a while.

Seaside Serenity

I can't help but think how serene these pictures seem when looking at

them. It's all a facade, believe me. If you had the ability to go inside my

head right now like some sort of Ms. Frizzle all you would hear is a loud

scream. It's a scream that stems from both fear and excitement of course.

My newspaper column is to start next week! I am still in a state of shock

and disbelief. I may or may not have plans to frame the first article and

hang it proudly on my wall....And since my column is about me exploring

my new island I thought I'd start to take more photos of what's around me.

It's coastal living here so anything I snap a shot of will go splendidly with

the nautical theme I seem to be obsessed with as of late. I will forewarn

you though: there will be endless pictures of trees and water 'cause that's

pretty much all that's around me! (And I wouldn't have it any other way)
