Back in November I read a great book written by a local friend Laura Churchill Duke called Two Crows Sorrow. It’s a creative nonfiction about a murder which took place in a local community in 1904. Before reading the book I had not heard of the story, but am glad I do now. The storyContinue reading “Different type of book tour”

Biking the Harvest Moon Trail
Since I started trying to get back into biking a few years back I had thought it would be cool to bike the whole Harvest Moon trail. Its an old railbed that’s been converted to a trail going between Grand Pre and Annapolis Royal here in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia. It’s 110 kmContinue reading “Biking the Harvest Moon Trail”
Hidden Valley
This is a trail we’ve done before, but it’s been a few years, so we went out again today with my Sister and her family. It’s right by their house as well. The walk starts by going under the highway which is neat and then some easy trail for most of the walk. It isn’tContinue reading “Hidden Valley”

Last week we went on a hike to Crystal Falls which is only about 30 minutes from us but we’ve never been. The hike was pretty easyContinue reading “Crystal Falls”

It’s beautiful and really cool with the waterfall and the rock formations. Things can change quite a bit depending on the tide but being here at low tideContinue reading “Baxters Harbour”

I started today with one thing I’ve been putting off for a long time. Not really intentionally,Continue reading “Cape Split”
More office art changes
Over the past few years, I’ve been enjoying and adding new art to my office walls. If you’ve been around my blog for a while you’ve likely seen a few posts about it. There is the Automattic Creed, a frame of Automattic logos, Happiness patches, my Son of Krypton print, and most recently my bigContinue reading “More office art changes”
Scenic Route
If I have to go to the store I may as well take the scenic route.
Getting Out and Being Social
This is something I struggle with. Working from home I am always interacting with co-workers and other people, but it is all online. As a family we go and do lots with other families and this is wonderful. Our group of friends are a great group and I always have a lot of fun withContinue reading “Getting Out and Being Social”
