I had a great weekend spending time doing some of my favourite things. Hangin' with good friends, dogs, outdoors, beach, farms, food, drinks and fire.
Saturday strangely felt like a Sunday to me and Sunday felt like a Saturday. I guess Saturday was a mellower day than Sunday.
I went to Crystal Crescent Beach on Saturday with my Nova Scotia family: my man, puppy, Otis and two good friends, Joel and Eleanor who brought their large Saint Bernard, Lucille. It was Otis' first day at the beach and the waves were fairly big and loud. It was fun watching him maneuver around the big round rocks and check out the seaweed, sand and waves.
The rock in that part of Nova Scotia reminds me of the rock in Newfoundland - where my actual family lives and where my heart is. If you've never visited the province of Newfoundland by now, you should put it on your list-of-amazing-places-to-visit-in-life. A word of advice, though. Check it out between the months of June-October. You'll see many varieties of whales as well as icebergs. The people are among the nicest in the world.
Saturday night we watched the classic film Serpico starring Al Pacino and ate some yummy leftover homemade Indian food. It was my first time seeing that movie. Al's outfits in the film were really awesome. It has inspired me to try to make myself a 60's style leather or suede vest some day soon. Cool.
Sunday was Open Farm Day in Nova Scotia. There were over 50 farms that participated in this year's OFD. It's a chance for the public to connect with the local farm community and hopefully gain an appreciation for the hard work farmers do to provide the food that ends up on our tables. We all piled into one vehicle and drove through the country roads towards the Annapolis Valley, making stops at the farms along the way. We made friends with a variety of pigs, horses, sheep, turkeys, chickens, goats, cows, ducks etc. Loved it!
