After almost a week of rain- including on Canada Day- we've had some lovely weather. Here's a rainbow over my backyard as the storm ended.
—Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist
I've been slacking off a bit, as it's been a busy couple of weeks. Somehow you always think things are going to slow down during the summer months, but then you find yourself trying to juggle work, visiting relatives, and enjoying the warm weather while it's here. After almost a week of rain- including on Canada Day- we've had some lovely weather. Here's a rainbow over my backyard as the storm ended. With the sun came family; these are some of my nieces at Lawrencetown Beach: Jack the dog loves to swim, but not at Lawrencetown where the waves are always high, so I took him to the lake. Meanwhile, sister's dog, tired and hot from chasing around with kids all afternoon, gets some TLC from nephew: Back to my parents' place for a barbecue and marshmallow roast: Last night one of my sisters and I went to the Nova Scotia International Tattoo, one of the greatest shows on earth, which I'll discuss in greater detail at a later date. "Spring flew swiftly by, and summer came; and if the village had been beautiful at first, it was now in the full glow and luxuriance of its richness. The great trees, which had looked shrunken and bare in the earlier months, had now burst into strong life and health; and stretching forth their green arms over the thirsty ground, converted open and naked spots into choice nooks, where was a deep and pleasant shade from which to look upon the wide prospect, steeped in sunshine, which lay stretched out beyond. The earth had donned her mantle of brightest green; and shed her richest perfumes abroad. It was the prime and vigour of the year; all things were glad and flourishing." —Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist Related Posts:

About MeI'm a lover of good books, classic movies, and well-written shows (as well as some pretty cheesy ones, to be completely honest). Categories
