It sounds like you are having a great time exploring the province. There are places we haven't yet been like Parrsboro and we hope to do some more looking around when the house is done. I just can't get over how much natural beauty there is in this tiny province. I love every season here. Take care! Flora Hi Sara,

I think we are kindred spirits! My husband and I moved from Ontario to Nova Scotia in May 2008, and are living on 20 acres just north of Bridgewater. Our home had zero landscaping when we moved here, so I can relate to your gardening adventures. Your garden is HUGE! You are much more ambitious than I. We must be the only place in NS without lupines....I love them! We were in Bear River on Wednesday...such a lovely place! Hello! I think we are kindred spirits!

That's a riot! I didn't even know that wild Lupines grew in Toronto! We are loaded with them...you would love it Barbara! I'm so glad that you are headed for Florence and that you'll be showing some work too. I know it's one of your 'dreams come true'. With the expense of the house-fixings, it'll be some time until we grace the shores of Europe, but how thrilling it would be to tour a real gallery again! Yesterday I saw tiny lettuces sprouting and it made all that work worthwhile. Let's hope the deer/raccoons/porcupine/cutworms don't discover them too!

I am so impressed. The Lupines make me long so badly for Nova Scotia. They are early this year eh? They grow in the fields across from the school house, and line every country road. They bloom in every colour. I really don't know when we're coming. We sent in the money for Florence the other day, so we only have two weeks, which means there is no way we can drive there. Ah well... It will all work out in due time. Love Barbara Boy Flora,
