Summer is peaceful walks on the beach, the hot sunning beating down

on you, the relish of a cool breeze.

Summer is sand between your toes, your skin smelling of sunscreen, and

freckled faces.

Summer is sweet buttery corn on the cob, deliciously juicy fruit, cold

drinks on the patio.

Summer is bright colours, billowy skirts, and beachy waves.

Summer is here and all I want to do is wear ensembles that are

reminiscent of the best time of year. I thought that this (years old)

striped tank top matched the beach perfectly - I'm just like the sand

and the waves now! Throw on a shell pendant and a beachy-themed

bracelet and I'm all good. Contrary to what might now be popular

belief, I don't actually live at the beach...only wishing I did...

Nova Scotia is notorious for it's fickle weather and it's rain, so when the

weather's even remotely warm and sunny Paul, Kobe, and I can be found

at the beach. Apparently this is usually a foggy month, but we've been

gifted with such beautiful weather! Over the weekend we took advantage

of the warm weather and took a drive to Main-a-Dieu, the most easterly

community in NS. It's a small fishing village with a population just a little

over 200, but does it ever have a lovely sandy beach! Sometimes I like

to look out at the ocean, feel the wind, and imagine it's the early

1900's and I'm Anne Shirley. And Kobe has to be one of the luckiest

and happiest dogs. How he ever survived in the city before all this, I'm not

sure! He's having the time of his life jumping in the waves, running wildly

free down the beach, and exploring new territory. It's all in the simple things!

It's the weekend, and boy, am I ever thankful! Life has been go, go, go

lately and I feel as if I haven't had a chance to catch a breath. I just want

to sit back, relax, and enjoy all this spectacular nature that surrounds me!

Paul and I have created a to-do list for the summer of all the places we

want to visit on Cape Breton Island. I suppose we're Capers now and

need to know our territory.  It's nice to finally have a car and be able to

go places further than what a city bus allowed too! There are a ridiculous

amount of beaches, lighthouses, hiking trails, and neat museums for us to

explore and I'm so ready! Looks like this is going to be a great summer!

And yes, I may be going overboard with the whole nautical theme. This

is years' worth of holding myself back from anything remotely nautical!

When in Rome, no?
