A few years ago, Heather placed Buddha on her meditation rock, on the slope behind the house.
Over time, he has developed a coat of moss and lichens. Today, in near celebration of Spring (ten degree temperatures) we paid him a visit. Does he still wear the same species?
Yesterday, we made our walking circuit to the Annapolis River. Starting at Lunn’s Mill you can walk through the Lawrencetown Tree Nursery to the river. We returned via the neighbours property (previously belonging to Andrew) and the Hunter orchard.
Later in the day, I wanted to show Heather the low tides on the Bay of Fundy. Walking along Hampton beach, I am always overwhelmed by the variety of size and colour of the beach pebbles.

Last Fall, we did not prune the hydrangea flower heads (I was in the hospital). Today, with the warm temperatures, it was time to catch up, and fill the ‘green bin’.
This week, we are planning to reduce the number of books on the shelf. There are several that I picked up, but do not remember reading.
