Well this is the week I get everything done inside that needs to be done, sure it will drive me a bit crazy. That means book editing and research as well as fi...

camp
Submitted by Twenty-two Pleasant on 04.8.13 at 8:12am.
I love camps. I love everything about them. You probably know the type of camp I mean: they're tiny, they all have the exact same wonderful smell, and they're filled with a colourful array of old and kitschy, time-worn and well-loved odds and ends.

Submitted by Here and There on 04.4.13 at 8:03am.
Brrr it's nippy this morning, temperature is -0.4. Actually had a good sleep and up a a regular time (5:30am) just before the alarm went off, might be getting back to normal instead of laying around in bed until 7am. I know the shame of a lazy person! Truthfully as nice as it is for some people ...

My Typical Childhood = Today's Adolescent Nightmare
Submitted by Field Notes From Cumberland County on 04.3.13 at 8:47am.
Typical childhood memory: When 14-year-old Roger Ferguson found out that my middle name is “Mode” -- likely one of my friends ratted me out -- he made a joke out of it. With his buddies gathered around, he shouted “Mojo” at me as I walked down the street.

Ugh, the ground is covered in snow - not a nice thing to wake up to!! Temperature is -1.4 and it's blowing a gale. Not what I want to wake up to especially since it's on the early side. Off town for errands, volunteer stuff, etc. Hope it's a productive day and I can get lots done.

Two Trees - Take 2
Submitted by Dream Big on 04.3.13 at 7:58am.
Remember the photos of the two trees that I posted in March? (click here if you don't remember). Well, I have gone back there a couple of times to photograph them with different skies in the background. Here they are on a sunny day, with a crow flying low over the field.

In Conversation With...Harriet Barbour
Submitted by Field Notes From Cumberland County on 03.28.13 at 7:41am.
When you ask around Pugwash, you’ll discover a variety of reasons why people decided to move to the village. For 38-year-old Harriet Barbour, moving here 12 years ago was her first step towards independence, opportunity and an entire community of friends.

Wednesday, temperature is +1.5 and it's spitting snow. I thought it was rain since Lexi was wet when she came in but Larry tells me snow, suppose to turn to rain and will just be a messy day.

Ginger surprised me today with a gorgeous black heifer.
Her legs are so long,I think she must be as tall as my big Maremma farm dog. By far the biggest calf ever born on this farm.
I'm so in love with her!

Last night was the "Sight and Sound" competition at our photo club...a show that sets photos to music and/or narration. Last summer I spent a lot of time taking hummingbird photos, and I found a piece of music called "Hummingbird"...et voila, my sight and sound essay Hummingbird:

Life continues to be busy.
A calf was born yesterday, another heifer.
She is a sweet red head,large and strong.
It was a beautiful sunny day so Lysa wondered off from the fold to a nearby grove of pine trees to birth in peace.

Back to the work week, where do weekends go? Little nippy this morning at -1.0 but it's suppose to warm up. Hopefully the carpet of white in the yard will disappear today. Wouldn't mind getting back out to do some yard work later this week. Today I've got to finish up some research I've been work...

Birds, Harbour and Houses
Submitted by Here and There on 02.28.13 at 8:12am.
Thursday, the end of another month and the temperature is +1.3. Looks like we have a sprinkle of snow before it changed over to rain. The weather stations have a "winter storm watch in effect". This is only a yellow bar meaning they are just covering the backside in case we get something - maybe ...

In Conversation With...Devinder and Bala Mehta
Submitted by Field Notes From Cumberland County on 02.27.13 at 7:41am.
As I settle into a big armchair in the Mehta’s living room overlooking Pugwash harbour, Bala brings out a coffee pot and a plate of pakora.
“Indian fritters,” she explains. Three kinds of deep-fried vegetables: potato, cauliflower and egg plant. Warm and delicious.
Good thing I just have to si...

Happy Birthday to my Mom! I really considered not posting this morning, am what you would say a little "off". Life will perk up and improve shortly, as soon as I feel better. For now I'm going to be a little quieter than normal. I know some people will find that hard to believe.

heros all around us
Submitted by 29blackstreet on 02.25.13 at 7:35am.
Yesterday morning I was getting dressed & running late when I noticed a lone firetruck race along Water Street in the direction we normally walk - it was around 7:30am. One fire truck is unusual, if there's a fire there's usually several firetrucks and as many firemen as can make it to the scene ...

I have had the pleasure of interviewing Art Brown twice, once as Santa Claus for the newspaper last year, and again as Art for Saltscapes in a profile titled, "The Art of Being Santa."
It's always great when the magazine uses the title you sent with the piece.
Each time I came away from my conv...

8 pieces of 8 ft 1×2 at 97 cents apiece. My kinds of prices. It was kind of a spur of the moment decision while walking through Rona. Hmmm… I sure hope these fit in the car. I’m probably going to use this on my peas. If it looks nice, I might make a similar one for the beans. I need to set...
