terrorized cats

The terror of the cats arrived to spend the weekend. Lola the beagle, accompanied by grandchildren and their parents,burst through the door and saw her quarry. Cats scattered. Lola is a small dog with a smaller brain and a hound nose. At the first sight of the cats she bayed and chased. The cats don't realize that she is just a chaser and not a killer. If they would only turn around and swat Lola, that beagle would be put in her rightful place, but no, total mayhem. How long will it take for them all to accommodate each other?

visiting cats

I was visiting an old friend and left my purse on the floor. Her cat likes to investigate purses. His head was right in checking it out. So here he is, having taken possession of my bag.

painting yellow

There are some dreadful old cupboards that had been torn out of a kitchen and put up temporarily. But as it looks like temporary may be some time, I found a can of "oops" kitchen paint and the cupboards and this little crate of a bookshelf became hot dog mustard yellow this morning. Thanks to such a good friend who came over the mountain this morning and got into the paint pot!

fish 'n chips

Just to get back into the Nova Scotia groove a friend and I went to the fish stand. My real heart didn't thank me, but my tummy and heart of hearts knew that I had returned home.

shore

I walked to the shore to reintroduce myself to the ocean.

wharf

This is our wharf, just a stroll down the road. The lobster boats are gearing up and the tide is about midway. It is so good to be back.

end of the road

They closed the roads behind me as I raced the flood waters. I packed to leave Northern Ontario in the first photo and I arrived at my old house in need of renovation in Nova Scotia three days later. It was an amazing trip with two days of snow and then torrential rain. And here I am in the sunshine.
