  • Willow over pond

    Yesterday we took a bit of a tour of a friends property to see their art and gardens. It was all beautiful and I’m looking forward to go back later in the season to see how things change. I’ve always liked weeping willows and the two next to the pond here were really nice.

  • First flight in a long time

    Was able to spend the last week in Orlando with my work team. This was my first trip in a long time. It was hard to be away from the family, but it was great to be with my teammates in person.

  • Public Garden Gates

    With a little time to waste I thought I’d be able to go for a little walk through the Public Gardens tonight. I forgot they close just before dusk and ended up missing the opportunity. The entrance gates are nice, but still would have preferred to be inside.

  • Sir Sandford Fleming (Dingle) Tower

    We came to hang out in Sir Sandford Fleming park, also known as The Dingle, for a while today. It is a park donated to Halifax by Fleming. He invented Standard time zones. My youngest calls this tower a castle and he wanted to come see it again. He knew we were coming and so…

  • Shipping yard cranes

    Had some time by myself today and was walking through Point Pleasant Park in Halifax. The container cranes were standing tall over the harbour with a sail boat going by and an airplane in the sky behind.

  • Duck Pond?

    After my last couple visits to the playground right next to the town pool, it seems this duck has claimed the pool as it’s pond. Still to cold for people, and not yet open to the public for the season, so I guess why not. Make yourself at home, though you may not want to…

  • Nubble Lighthouse

    We arrived home yesterday after a long weekend family road trip. We drove Boston and back. With two adults, three teenagers, a three year old, and our 70 lb dog, we tried to break up the drive with little stops. One stop was at Nubble lighthouse in York Maine. The temperatures weren’t overly warm, but…

  • Signs of Spring

    Visiting friends today for our annual early Easter egg hunt due to some complicated schedules. They live very close to us and while our yard is still covered in snow they have signs of Spring coming up in theirs. This is just one little patch of May crocuses coming up.

  • Office window view

    Early this morning, just as it was starting to get light out, this was the view from my home office window. It always looks nicer when you’re looking out at it rather then out shovelling it.

  • Public gardens

    One of the downfalls of working in a distributed company is not getting to hang out with the cool people you work with nearly enough. So when a close co-worker ends up in our area for a long weekend I was glad we were able to spend some time together. I hadn’t seen her in…
