Hello Yarmouth!

At long last, here are the pictures from our vacation - or at least the Yarmouth half of it :) They aren't an exhaustive account of the trip, but they definitely hit most of the highlights!

One evening we went for a walk with our friends Blogless Annie and M. I love the fact that you don't really need sidewalks in rural Nova Scotia :)

Some pretty scenery:

Does anyone know what kind of flower this is? This one was standing all by itself in a sea of green just off a back road behind the in-laws' house. Isn't it gorgeous?

I like this picture because it shows how foggy it was that night. It was pretty foggy almost the entire time we were in Yarmouth, which was ever so appropriate :) This little stream bed was part of TC's tour of his childhood haunts.

Then we went on a treasure hunt, and found...

A peanut butter jar, shoved down inside the middle of a log in the middle of the woods behind the in-laws' house.

Apparently, people with GPS's run about the countryside with a set of co-ordinates for these caches, and once they find them they take a 'treasure' from the cache and put a new one in along witha little note. Pretty neat, I think! We didn't take anything, but we left a coffee coupon and a hair elastic and signed the little log book.

This is a lovely place to buy yarn and soap-making supplies in downtown Yarmouth, where I bought some gorgeous wool yarn and the needles to attempt knitting my first pair of socks (thanks for all your help Blogless Annie!), as well as some dirt cheap essential oils.

The rest of the time we spent out at 'the camp', which in Ontarian is called 'the cottage'. It's a beautiful spot...

TC went for a swim...and then a little visitor waddled up on the lawn...

What a cute little duck! After I took this picture, she came back with her 6 little ducklings - so cute! I didn't get any pictures of them, though.

Our last night in Yarmouth was the MIL's birthday, so we had a little shindig at the camp for her, which ended with some fireworks which we picked up a local grocery store.

Next stop: New Brunswick!
