My Morning Walk
Lego pulls me around Block House hill and while he looks for deer poop, I look out at the town towards the front harbour. We turn left down to Montague st. and come to Foodland, one of our two local grocery stores. While I am grateful to have a place to pick up milk, mostly…
Read MoreSummer Highlights.
Other than torturing the dog and occasionally his mother, Dusty spent most of the summer reading Calving and Hobbes over and over and over. I gave him my camera to play with and the card was filled with hundreds of photos taken from his Calvin and Hobbes books. I decided not to question the logic…
Read MoreHeidi’s Photos
This is the first time I have ever been happy to look at a photo of myself. The beautiful setting and the smiling woman behind the camera had a lot to do with me being relaxed. Heidi’s just going to have to agree to be the official Hat Junkie photographer.
Read MoreAnd He’s Off!
Today Dusty decided that he could read. We’ve been reading for a while. Simple books, taking turns, the usual, but this is different. And it’s all thanks to Lego. I bought him a guide to Lego Ninjago. The whole inside scoop, a look at the ninjas behind the scenes, what they like to eat, their…
Read MoreMy Garden Grows
This flower is the only thing that cheers me up. The sky is perfectly blue and the sun is bright. Everything beckons me outside to soak up the warm spring air. I open the door and…… BAM! A blast of hateful cold air hits me in the face. The wind threatens to take away my…
Read MoreI love Halifax
Yesterday I set up my wares at the Halifax Market again. I had only one goal and that was to get there alive. I’m on the road at 4:30 a.m and the thought of being pried out of bed in the middle of the night and then driving for an hour and a quarter always…
Read MoreThe Big Ex Revisited
It’s that time of year again. The Big Ex is in town. There was no earthly way to avoid it. Although we went on Tuesday it has taken me until today (Saturday) to be able to write about it. That’s because my son had that kind of impressive kicking and screaming meltdown in the middle…
Read MoreThe CBC Interview
O.K, My technological skills are really being tested. It took about a month, but I finally figured out how to convert the DVD of my CBC interview for the internet. Just a refresher- Queen Elizabeth visited Canada, beginning her visit in Nova Scotia and the CBC contacted me to do an interview about hats in…
Read MoreLilly’s Hat
Here’s one of my favourite little girls in her new hat. Lilly and Dusty have been friends since we moved to town a couple of years ago. She’s pretty comfortable here. She has often asked me for a hat, but she has her very own strong artistic vision and you just never know if you’re…
Read MoreThe Queen and Baby ducklings
What a whirlwind of a week. The CBC did come to my house on Monday to interview me. I would say I was sickly nervous for a few days prior, but when I woke up Monday morning I just calmed down and went into performance mode. Colleen Jones was really fun. She is something of…
