While there we went berry picking... along the side of the road! Imagine that, fresh blueberries, blackberries and raspberries right at the end of your driveway.
Even Cash was getting in on the action eating the berries right off the bushes!
Cash and I like to take our time when getting things right... expecially pictures. These were taken on the dirt road in front my boyfriend's parents' house. To the right, just past that brush, is the Bay of Fundy.
Almost...
That's better!
While on the East Coast, we drove to Halifax and spent the night. It is such a beautiful city filled with hills, a bustling Wharf, and great seafood restaurants (if you ever go, you should check out The Economy Shoe Shop. We stopped in for dinner and were amazed at not only the fresh seafood, but also how much there was of it. We ordered Mussels as an appetizer, and were SHOCKED at how big the bowl was - 64 mussels in total, for only $10!). Everywhere you look, you are reminded just how steeped in History the city is.
And Peggy's Cove - well it speaks for itself.
Standing on the enormous rocks beside and even larger ocean certainly adds some perspective to your life. If you've never visited this amazing spot, you should definitely make a plan to.

On the flipside, I entered a Birthday Swap on Ravelry, and received my package when we got in from our trip. Sheer magnificence!
Opening it up:
So many goodies, so little time:
A lovely card from my partner:
A beautiful row counting bracelet:
A hand knit Tudora, some chocolate, and a Rav button nametag:
Some chocolate covered almonds (my favourite!), cashews, and cleanser for hand knits:
A hank of malabrigo, which I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!, and have already started thinking of what project to make with it:
AND, a hank of Hand Maiden hand painted yarn. It's so soft and squishy, I can't wait to make something with it:
I truly am a lucky birthday girl!
Thanks Vespa!!
