Fuelled by lukewarm coffee and hope for a better world. Fan of forests, fireflies, dark skies and the sunrise.

Every time I see this compost bin while out walking in my neighbourhood, I smile. So do the local kids!

Unbeknownst to me (until now), my husband captured me enjoying tonight’s sunset.

The colours really were this amazing! Hope you all have a great week.
The silhouette of a woman standing in a large gazebo structure overlooking a lake surrounded by trees is pictured as the sun sets in hues of pink and orange.

And so the sun sets on another Sunday.
The vibrant orange colours of a sunset and streaks of colour-tinged grey clouds are reflected in a marsh with marsh grasses in shadow in the foreground.

Palette of soft colours used to paint the night sky. Nice view to kick off the weekend.
A curve in a trail with a paved path is flanked by trees on both sides, a river to the left of the frame. The setting sun paints the sky in hues of blue, grey, pink, and orange.

The snow has started to fly here this morning, making me extra glad my tree went up yesterday.

No decorations yet, but the cozy lighting brings me joy.
A Christmas tree illuminated by warm white lights sits in the corner of a room, its lights casting a reflection on the wood flooring.

Northern Lights in Nova Scotia. A backyard view worth staying up for.
A sky filled with green and pink and purple hues creates a backdrop against trees.

Was at a craft fair yesterday and a vendor said "Psst. Are you offended by swear words?"

I laughed and said no. She motioned me over: "Check out the hidden messages on our dishcloths!"

I needed a few fun stocking stuffers. And what better message than this for the times we are in?! WTF indeed.
A dark green crocheted dishcloth is set against a wooden cutting board. The letters WTF are visible across the cloth when against a pale surface.

Forest puddles have been few and far between on my walks these last few months. But today I got to admire and capture this beauty.
A calm ground puddle in the forest littered with colourful leaves reflects a variety of tall trees from above.

It’s that time of year again! Dug the Fussell’s Cream out of the cupboard and made Lassy Buns (a tasty, soft molasses/ginger treat).

My Newfoundlander husband loves these, especially because I use his mom’s recipe and it reminds him of childhood winters.
A square piece of soft brown gingerbread dessert sits on a blue and white plate. A small white tin of Fussell’s Cream is visible behind the plate.

Sign of the times! Spotted on my way to Dartmouth this morning (I am the passenger).
A digital traffic billboard perched over a busy roadway on an overcast day says in yellow letters “Go Jays Go”

When they were younger, my kids used to say I liked news more than they liked their toys because of all the different newspapers that were always around.

So this was an appropriate and amusing gift (thrift store find) from one of them. It has a partial “article” featured on the back, too.😂
A white ceramic mug styled to look like the front page of a newspaper. It says “Really Great News- Mom Says She Loves Mug Received As Gift-Sources say it is pretty obvious which child is favorite”

Reflections on an October weekend.
Trees in shades of green, orange, and red as well as 2 white houses and strips of purplish blue clouds are reflected in a clear lake during a rosy coloured sunset.

Saturday night light on the Halifax waterfront.
A 5-floor building against a dark night sky is illuminated by warm white, red, and orange lights that are reflected in the harbour.

Drove by this vibrant view earlier and just had to pull over to admire it for a bit.

As L.M. Montgomery wrote, "I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers."
Numerous trees in varying brilliant shades of red, orange, yellow, and green are reflected in a still lake along with a small white dock.

I enjoyed the incredibly rich hues of tonight’s suburban sunset. Calm in the chaos!
A path leading to a roadway is lined with trees with foliage of varying shades of red and green. A golden orange and pink sunset fills the sky.

I was on vacation last week and got to enjoy the fall colours. This trail path really stood out in terms of its peaceful (and somewhat magical) vibe.
Trees in shades of red, orange, green, and yellow create a canopy over a trail path covered in fallen foliage while off in the distance an opening of light among the trees appears like a round doorway.

Colour burst along the Sackville River, Nova Scotia.
A bright blue sky and vibrant fall foliage in oranges, yellows, greens, and reds are reflected in a shallow river. Scattered leaves and rocks are visible in the front of the photo.

Social media post from Gander International Airport about catfishing incidents and broken hearts.

"In recent months, airport staff have witnessed a troubling trend: people arriving at the airport to meet “loved ones” they’ve been speaking to online, only to discover that the person doesn’t exist."
A senior white woman stands at an airport window, head turned to the right and looking forlorn, as outside the window a plane can be seen on the tarmac. A social media post from Gander International Airport reads: "File this under posts we'd never thought we'd be making. In recent months, airport staff have witnessed a troubling trend: people arriving at the airport to meet “loved ones” they’ve been speaking to online, only to discover that the person doesn’t exist. Many have sent money, invested hope, and arrived here expecting joyful connections that never come. It’s called catfishing - when someone pretends to be someone they’re not, often to exploit others. And before you dismiss it as gullibility, remember this: loneliness is powerful, and the search for connection is one of our most basic human needs. At its heart, this isn’t about foolishness or naivety. It’s about people looking for love and being met with deception. It’s crushing for us to see someone arrive at the airport dressed sharply, flowers in hand, and hope in their heart - only to discover no one is coming. Often, they’ll show airline staff a travel itinerary that is clearly fake. It's excruciating for our airport community to witness. Honestly, we haven’t had this many broken hearts around YQX since the Leafs' last playoff run. Or when Clooney finally got married. Now, we’ll stay in our lane (or runway). We’re not here to promote local Tinder or speed dating, but we can share universal guidance: • Be cautious if someone you’ve only met online asks for money, travel costs, or personal details. Talk to friends, family, or authorities if you’re unsure. • Check in on loved ones, especially seniors. If you notice someone investing heavily in an online relationship, gently ask questions and offer support. • If you have been targeted or have concerns, please reach out to the RCMP or Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre: 1-888-495-8501. We want every reunion at Gander Airport to be real, safe, and joyful. Don’t let scammers steal your trust or your heart."

“Around me the trees stir in their leaves
and call out, "Stay awhile."
The light flows from their branches..”

From “When I Am Among the Trees” by Mary Oliver

Found a beautiful spot to reflect on this autumn afternoon.
A beam of sunshine cuts through a stand of trees and gnarled roots on a forest floor, bathing the scene in a golden light.

Which way is up? Reflections on the last Sunday in September.
Vibrant coloured foliage in shades of red, orange, yellow and green along with a brilliant blue sky are reflected in the clear surface of a lake.

Tuesday night riverbank reflections. Love these brief escapes from the carnival of chaos that surrounds us.

Indeed! And my husband is a huge fan on moose. In fact we had moose stew last night (using bottled moose meat from his dad).
A stainless steel pot is filled with moose stew and a hand holding a wooden spoon lifts some out. Chunks of meat are seen alongside potatoes, carrots, and turnip.

Tomorrow is officially fall, but we saw a lot of autumn’s splendour during today’s backroad travels. #PassengerViews
A highway with a double yellow line shows a vehicle and trees on either side, many of which are shades of yellow and red with golden sunlight shining through the branches.

Saturday night light. A calm oasis in a world of chaos.
A rosy pink sunset fills the sky above a forest clearing, with green trees, grasses, and pink light reflected in the still waters of a pond.

I don’t believe there is ever a bad time to share the words from Jack Layton’s last letter to Canadians.
A purple, pink and orange sunset is on display over calm waters reflecting a pink hue while a small empty boat is seen floating in the front of the photo frame.
