This week the bottomland alongside the Annapolis River, below our property, was cut, dried and baled.

From the deck on Connaught Avenue, we could share the action with visitors.
On Saturday, we had time to visit some of our local trails, including the Old Mill Trail, South Farmington; the Marsh Trail, Middleton …

… and the trail into the ‘back door’ of Valley View Park (Bridgetown).
The surprise, as we entered the gravel road to the fire tower, was a stunning display of Arethusa bulbosa (Dragon Mouth orchid) in a small wetland.

Sunday, we stepped outside of Annapolis County. We checked out previous visits to Burlington. At the end of the afternoon, we were at the Lobster Pound and restaurant at Halls Harbour.
It was a very crowded spot. No parking available on the dock.

We enjoyed visits from Sandra and Brenda Barry, and a beer on the deck with John Wightman. The latter included John’s memories of Roger Tomlinson, and their time together at Acadia University. I remember Roger needing to pick up lobster at Halls Harbour. Edward added the graphics.
