Earlier this week, we went for a walk at Valley View Park, above Bridgetown.
We followed the Tower Road with a side loop into the park. There were a large number of Spring ephemerals. The green of the beech trees was therapeutic. And no-one else around (see Trail Map Here).
After, Heather wanted to transfer the photographs from her cell phone to my iPad. Unfortunately there seemed to be a technical issue with Google. Today, after Heather’s Bridgetown Walk, we attempted to repeat the experience with my iPad.
We noticed that the Park was closed. Along the Tower Road, we were able to capture. Images of rhodora, lady slipper orchid, Bluebead lily, starflower and trillium.
This week, we enjoyed fresh bread from the Perky Loaf, Brickton, Saturday breakfast at Arch&Po in Annapolis Royal. We found sizeable fish burgers at the Ebb Tide Café in Lawrencetown.
Today, we discovered ice cream at the Bees Knees General Store and bakery in Lawrencetown.
Gradually, more grocery items are becoming available in the village.
Postscript
In the mailbox, I found the 2023 Community Events Guide for the County of Annapolis. Looks like a busy Summer, once we get beyond the wildfire season.
