tomatoes make me think of a john denver lyric


January 16 ends the week so I stop by Pete's Frootique for coffee and end up with heirloom tomatoes. 

As you do.


"only two things that money can't buy that's true love and home grown tomatoes"
(although I'm pretty sure I have purchased home-grown tomatoes, John...)

sweet endings

January 12 ended with a lovely dinner at 2 Doors Down in Halifax with two dear and beautiful friends. 

Since time is now our hottest and hardest commodity, it's sweet to spend it connecting and catching up .. Made even sweeter by this salted caramel cheesecake with chocolate cornflakes on top


you had me at salty & sweet

summer sigh

I knew this day would come.
This day, the 1st of September.
The end of the summer.

Sure there are still nice days ahead, but it's just not the same.
September is here. There is a feeling.
It was cool this weekend, so cool I had to shut my window for the first time in months.
Today it was so humid there was no relief.
Welcome to the East Coast.

I knew this day would come.
And it hits me with a panicked thought...
Now, every swim might be the last. 

It wasn't a bad summer. It wasn't a great summer. It was a fast summer.
Where it went, I still can't say. It washed away like sand in the tide. It was unstoppable.
It was a blur.

But there were beaches.
Not as often as I would like, but then it could never be enough.

The season was off to such a great start, as swimming began in early June. It was unbelievably warm, probably due to Hurricane Arthur that blew up the east coast. And though it didn't stay that warm, there were still some great days in the sand, sea and surf.

Kingsberg, Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia



And I managed to grab a few shots that I really liked
local oysters, local wine, local ocean



clam of clam harbour






eagle in wolfville

Cooked a bit..

watermelon and cucumber gazpacho




Then more beaches
queensland beach, nova scotia



melberby beach, nova scotia


and some time enjoying my city
halifax

As I said, not a bad summer.
I just don't know where it went.
