A Day at the Beach
A huge chunk of this day was spent on the deck, knitting and relaxing.
This afternoon we went to the Fundy Shore to Mavillette Beach. The water was very cold, even for the wading I did, but I do love the shore, the sand, the sea, the sound of the ocean. It was an absolutely beautiful day.
Canada Day
Today is Canada Day. In honor of the country’s 144th birthday, I have compiled a list.

- It’s huge, the 2nd largest country in the world
- Newfoundland has a time zone ½ hour off of anywhere else
- Very cool flag
