Beautiful Nova Scotia

Hello everyone,

 I hope you all had a great weekend. We had a busy one as we finished up our tours for the season

       and had our family up for our Thanksgiving turkey dinner- a bit late here in Canada but some of us

       could not make it last weekend.

                    I have a few more photos of our little trip to Nova Scotia to share with you. We stopped in                     for lunch and a walk around this beautiful seaside town.

                              I love this porch as it has an amazing view of the water

                               Then we moved on to Mahone Bay another charming seaside town that had a scarecrow festival the week before but still had lots of scarecrows up.

                                      Well dressed ladies watching the people go by.I love the house
                                in the background.

                                                               A pretty autumn scene.

                                    We stayed in the beautiful Mahone Bay Bed and Breakfast.  
   

                                 It was beautiful inside and out. The hosts were very friendly also
                                 and I hope to get back someday. Mahone Bay has a Father Christmas
                                 celebration coming up in late November that should be fun too,if you
                                 would like to check it out.

                                              Isn't this the prettiest porch?

 This was our charming room ~ I do so love red and white toile.

                                   They have a beautiful porch to sit on overlooking the water.

             

      After enjoying Mahone Bay we went up to Wolfville and went here to the Blomidon Inn where we had a delicious lunch and a tour around their lovely gardens.

Thank you for coming along!

Take a Walk in the Park

                                                                 Hello everyone,
                          Earlier this week we spent a day in Halifax so the first thing we did was to go for a                               walk in the park- the Halifax Public Gardens.It is a beautiful park in the centre of                                 downtown Halifax. It was a beautiful evening and lots of people were enjoying the
                          park.

                      There was beautiful fall colors but also lots of tender annuals still doing well.
                     We already lost our annuals here in our garden but we are in a bit of a frost pocket
                       and Halifax is a little further south then us.

                             It is a peaceful place and there are lots of ducks enjoying it too.

                                              There is often musical entertainment here as well.

                                                  There are several beautiful statues in the garden.

                       The dahlias were still doing well- I think I should add a few more to our garden.

               Thank you for coming along for a walk in the park. After we left Halifax
                       we went to Chester for a lunch and a walk around this beautiful seaside
                       town before heading on to the beautiful Mahone Bay- more on that later.

                       It is a warm day here and after a good rain the sun is starting to peek out.
                       We have been blessed with great weather this fall.

                                                                                                 Take care,
                                                                                                             Carolyn
