This morning, I received an email from Digby Print and Promo (see previous post A Drive to Digby). They had produced Volume 10 – 2025 of my blog. It provided the opportunity to make a return trip to Digby. There was snow on the wind. The drive simply reinforced how infrequently we take Highway 101, beyond Annapolis Royal.

With my blogs in a hard copy format, I can reflect on previous blogs from one year to the next. For example, January 8, 2025 ‘Home Place’.
‘Moving onto this week, the media has been full of Justin Trudeau, Donald Trump and Elon Musk. I tried to turn it off by watching ‘North to North’.
Here we are, it is January 21, 2026.
‘Ultimately, life is about landscape, and how we share it with friends and family; embedded within the local geography: climate, ecology. Unlike the newsmaker/politicians, it is not a resource to be traded for personal gain.’
‘As I look up from my desk in the basement, I see Nancy Turner’s book The Earth’s Blanket: Traditional Teachings for Sustainable Living.’
The book remains on the shelf.
Donald Trump and Mark Carney occupy the airwaves today.
