Wonderful Days

This is my favourite time of the year, warm sunny days and cool nights. Easy to walk dogs and also to sleep.
Today is no exception, it is just stellar.
There are a couple of cruise ships in port, the autumn season is prime time to visit Eastern Canada and take in the great weather.http://www.novascotiawebcams.com/halifax/pier-21.html

A little taste of Roma

I had a wonderful trip to Roma. Oh, the things to see and do. One of our evenings was spent at a reception held by the Canadian Club of Rome to celebrate the start of another year of events. I was very fortunate to be in attendance, it was held at the house of the Canadian Ambassador.
It is situated on the grounds of the Villa of the Imperial Prefect of Rome and the site of the Villa of Scipio Africanus. The enormous gardens are bordered by the majestic aqueduct feeding into the Baths of Caracalla.

Resurfacing

Well it didn't take long for that "nearly a year without blogging " to scurry by.
Where did it go?

Well.... a wonderful trip to Rome with sides to Positano and the Amalfi Coast, a villa in Collerosso and a Sunday afternoon trip to see the ceramics in Castelli.
Numerous trips to the Annapolis Valey
A couple or three trips to Toronto, both by air and car.
Lots of fabric cutting into little pieces and resewing them into big pieces.
The usual life gets in the way stuff.
Lovely times with my three children and my little granddaughters.
Many walks with George and Gracie
And it goes on.

Beautiful weather here in NS and now the heat and humidity has seemed to ebb so it is my kind of weather Warm days, cool nights. Bring on the harvest.

Perhaps I won't be so long in coming back.
