Cats and Dogs

No matter where I knit,  at home or at my knitting group,  animals are attracted.  Kitty Purl from Gaspereau Valley Fibres and my dogs at home, love the peacefulness of knitting.

Market Day

I'm at my local market eating, listening, breathing deeply the lovely aroma's.  Why is it that some musicians make it look effortless like they are having a conversation.  A tea and chat.  Nice.

Live From Barrington

So, today I'm grateful that I don't have to run for a bus, it can be quite stressful as I remember it.  I'm in Halifax lounging for the day.  I stopped at The Loop yarn shop (caressed some beautiful Yarn), The Folklore Center ( I drooled on some guitars), The Creative Place (imagined what I could put on a huge blank canvas, that is if I could actually paint) and now here I am live from Just Us, on Barrington.  I love that there was an symphony of music as I walked down the street,  an accordion player on one corner and a guy playing xylophone on the other.  In front of the Library  I wanted to take a picture of the guy feeding himself and the pigeons, he was engulfed in them and seemed quite happy about it.  You can use your imagination for that one.  I found some beautiful vintage finds on Queen St.  Is  Diane von Fürstenberg still around?  She knows my dimensions perfectly.  The clouds have rolled away for my trip home.  Lucky me.

Friends

It is a beautiful day in my neighbourhood!  My chores are all finished.  Time to relax.  I'm sitting on my patio, swinging on my swing and knitting my new project.  I'm thinking about the wonderful day I had yesterday with my friend D we went on a road trip to Halifax.  We had Thai food, shopped the vintage shops, and stopped at a gourmet dessert shop for cheesecake.  We chatted and sang to my favourite playlist all the way home.  I was on a mission to cheer her up and  I think I was successful:)
