Northern lights visible with the naked eye tonight in the Maritimes!

Finished Will & Harper and... wow. At times hopeful and then heartbreaking. It could be because I'm already emotional due to life but... tears. So many tears.

Random Sunday thought...

Why don't we have sunken living rooms with built in sectionals anymore? How did those ever go out of style?! Look at them! Bring back the conversation pit!

I am officially a Nova Scotia cliché... I went apple picking in the Annapolis Valley in September...

In my defence, I live in the Annapolis Valley so it maybe isn't as cliché...?

Added bonus, met Penny

When you're outside enjoying the warm evening and it's just getting dark but you have a weird feeling you're not alone... could it be a bear? A deer? Coyote?

Nope, trash panda hanging out at the top of a power pole. Really hope it has an easy dismount when it's ready

One of my favourite things about living in Nova Scotia... a beautiful, sunny Fall day... barely a breeze... and the power goes out.

Now that the tiny but territorial hummers have migrated, my regulars are hanging out in the yard again, patiently waiting for the feeders to go back up. Pretty sure this dude thinks if he looks pretty I'll put it up early... he's probably right. I'm a sucker for a pretty bird 🤷‍♀️

The rage and frustration I feel when I find that diamond in the rough of a house that literally checks all my boxes and I can *actually* afford without selling my soul... only for it to be sold within a day of listing... and turned into an AirBnB... no words. Just rage.

You don't realize your patience is hanging by a very thin thread until you walk into the grocery store and they've COMPLETELY CHANGED THE ENTIRE LAYOUT.

Happy #NationalDogDay Violet!

Violet's groomer breeds Australian Shepherds so while V got a much needed bath and haircut, I got to hang out with a very friendly little girl named Audrey.

Ummm... in what world?

The bees are also fans of my squash blossoms. Look at the pollen drunk little dude! Look at him!

[🐞Stephanie🐞 @pyperjoy]

Much like me, Willow was not built for the humidity

[🐞Stephanie🐞 @pyperjoy]

Local library was giving away white spruce saplings so... meet Betty White Spruce. I think we'll make each other very happy. She's no Bruce the Blue Spruce, but I think we'll have a long and healthy relationship
