First morning of 2011

   Its 7:40 am on January 1st, 2011...the sun is just peeking from behind the horizion.Theres a mist in the air that is cooling to the bareness of my arms... I look up at the lightning sky , as a crow calls the dawn behind me in the wood. I listen to the sounds of the forest around me starting to wake.Dew drops falling, ...the rustle of leaves as my dog sniffs the freshness of the ground. A New Beginning... I think to myself...

   My first call of the day is from a lady who wants a Spiritual reading. I ask her to come to my home for 10:30am so I will have time to prepare (meditation) and care for my critters.
   I always love how the Universe looks after me. How I feel i am needed...I love to help others who seek the same. Usually they find, as I did, that all we need is with-in our own heart. Look to your center and all the love you want is already inside you ♥

Happy New Year 2011

   Sitting here at my computer watching the birds at the feeder makes me realize how lucky I am to be in such a wonderful, beautiful, FREE country where I can walk down a busy street and not have to worry about terrorist waiting to blow up the neighbourhood. I have dependable, (almost) free health care, clean water to drink and a good supply of foods available at the local store so I don't have to wait in line for a daily meal.

    There are lots of places in the World today where just getting out of bed in the morning can be frightning. People starve to death on the city streets in card-board boxes. You regularly hear of people getting blown up on their way to work in the morning on trains and buses and random shootings at cross-walks...not to say it couldn't happen here.

   Here in Nova Scotia I guess we're agreeable with our neighbours. Most will help you in your in trouble, be it a car broke down on side of the road or helping a person cross the street. Our Christmas Daddy's helps thousands of children aand their familys at Christmas and local food banks feed those in need. Even our Welfare system is one of the best so people who can't support them selves can have a hand till they get back on thir feet...There are programs to help people go back to school if they can't find work and train them. Anyone can start a business and get help with this if they need to.
Stop and think how lucky we are ♥

Remember to do at least one thing everyday that you don't get thanks for but helps a person or situation ♥

Love & Light to You in this 2011.

March 7,2010

March Maddness...been trying to get some things done around the yard with the mild weather finally here. Plus 4 right now and the frost is quickly evaporating off the wood pile I left uncovered yesterday. Our road froze on Wednesday with the snow we had so I was able to get my car home. The road still isn't the best and heavy logging equipment still is off limits. I hear  chain saw somewhere in the distance yesterday so still activity going on.Guess they'll have the logs ready for when the road is open again. The horses are enjoying the mild weather ,too and have started to shed their winter coats. Lots of brushing ahead of me there. Soon I'll be riding again.

I decided to put a larger sill on my front window so I can start some seeds for my garden. Been going thru them and deciding what to plant. Can hardly wait to till the soil and get started ... : )

Febraury 21, 2010

       A lots happened the last few days...some I can talk about and some for another time as the saga unfolds I keep note of the animal nature of human beings  : (...Mainly still surviving the winter.It's been mild the last few days and the horses have been enjoying the first of the green from beneath the snow as it melts off. Of course with thawing snow somes the first of spring peeking thru and a taste of whats to come in the next month or so.Got to enjoy a outing on Sunday and had supper a few close friends. The meal was delicious especially the fresh mint jelly.Had never had this before and loved it! ♥

      Went to Pembroke on Saturday  to look at the Marina and get a few pictures with my long time friend, Annie Harding. She is a published Poet from our area and is working on her latest book so needed some new material. We saw lots of fishing vessels and beautiful beach.The tide was up so got to hear and see the surf pounding on the rocks. I miss this now that I live in-land again. Made me a bit home-sick for my little beach at Short Beach in Yarmouth County where I used to spend my free time walking the coast in search of lost buoys and fresh herbs. Hoping to spend more time there once the weather warms up as the coast there is almost impossible to reach now that the wharf is gone and boats that once tied up there have moved down the coast to the Sandford wharf. This once well used road and the bait shacks have literally fallen into the sea so have to walk thru a snow covered field to reach it. Its ghostly to see and remember the once bustling little fishing community it once was.The once shining fish plant is abandoned with doors swinging in the wind and scavened equipment lays rusting on the water soaked floor. Sad...

Valentine

Had a interesting Valentines. Supper, guitiar playing and cards with friends in Brooklyn on Saturday night made for a late evening...then spent most of the day with my friend, Annie,driving to Pubnico, Yarmouth County. Took in the scenery , had lunch at the local Dennis Point Wharf Restrant then off to a Poetry /Writers meeting with a bunch of local writers and poets. Very nice conversation and info for new writers. Hoping to participate in the April Writers "Splash" for new and seasoned pros...♥ As for flowers and choclete...flowers dies in 3 days and I can buy all the candy I want with-out putting up with someone who will eat half when I'm not looking....! Hope your week-end was memorable ♥

........."Save our Cat"..........♥

Long time friend, Doreen Sauliner stands in front of her family's home. She along with many will lose their jobs because of the loss of the "Cat" ferry in Yarmouth,Nova Scotia.

 Well, as most of my friends know I have been unemployed now for 9 months and still no sign of a job, not for lack of looking. Did work briefly for a wonderful resort, Trout Point Lodge in Kemptville Nova Scotia but because of a slow tourist season was let do prematurely so back on "EI" I goes. ( ...got lost over night in the woods,too but thats another story...)Trying to get back into school only to find out the course I wish to take maybe full  so will have to wait maybe another year to attend...crap...and time ticks on...Still doing the Volunteer Special Constable Investigating for Nova Scotia Provincal SPCA in Halifax which gives me lots of things to do while waiting for the right job to turn up.
Meanwhile, lots of other citizians here face the same problem .They will  not have a job and the possiblity of losing ALL they have worked for because of no work in this end of Nova Scotia to support the thousands that will be affected by the lost of our Cat Ferry to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. This ferry brings Tourists to the area in the Spring to Fall season to visit our Provience and take in the many festivals and sights in our beautiful Town and country side. Its amazing how the local politicians have let this happen to our small struggling town. For the last twenty years tons of money has been spent on up-grading and redoing the public areas.
Still the locals are trying to approach Goverment in hope of saving the ferry. Lots turned up today to make a music video that will be sent to Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Hopefully he likes Cats and will respond favorable when he sees others want this "Cat:" to stick around...

Save our Cat and Town
