Anticipation – The Second Half

September 3, 2022September 3, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 26 Comments

You knew there had to be a second half... didn't you? After all the first Anticipation post was before the middle of July. Gardening season lasts so much longer. The Christmas-Eve anticipation continues through the summer as more and more plants grow and come into bloom. The eagerness to get up and see what's happening … Continue reading Anticipation – The Second Half

Anticipation

July 13, 2022July 13, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 26 Comments

Outside is where I want to be this time of year. Especially after a long winter and sometimes damp spring when we are indoors for what seems like forever. My outdoor hobbies keep me busy and I am very happy to putt or paddle in the fresh air. One of my hobbies is gardening, which … Continue reading Anticipation

Changing Plans

June 4, 2022June 4, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 27 Comments

It was after eight this morning when I crawled out of bed, glanced out the window and saw the lake. I don't know why I didn't feel like crawling back into bed like I had for most of this week. The desire to close my eyes once again and greet the morning slowly is normal … Continue reading Changing Plans

Smiles And Chuckles

May 13, 2022May 14, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 17 Comments

It's been a relaxing week. Perhaps because I wasn't called "Darlin," by a man less than half my age, or perhaps because there wasn't a workman insisting he talk to "the man" instead of me. But more likely it is because spring has finally arrived, and I got to go outside and play. I got … Continue reading Smiles And Chuckles

The Joys of October Paddling

October 6, 2021October 6, 2021 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 19 Comments

I had finished washing the outside windows, getting the layers of grime and haze from their surface. Hoping like hell, now that it was October, we won't get a hurricane. I walked in the front door carrying a dish full of nasturtium seeds to dry for next year. The plan was to dump the seeds then … Continue reading The Joys of October Paddling

Beach Day at Martinique

August 26, 2021August 26, 2021 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 21 Comments

So what do you do in Nova Scotia when it is too hot and humid to be outside at home and you don't want to spend the day indoors because that is what you have to do all winter long. You go to the beach of course. Nova Scotia has 13,300 kilometres of coastline. Not … Continue reading Beach Day at Martinique

Summer Therapy

July 23, 2021July 23, 2021 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 27 Comments

My idea of therapy doesn’t take place in an office. I don’t settle into a cushiony chair or sofa. My therapy is a quiet affair. It requires gloves and comfy shoes or boots and a willingness to get dirty, sometimes muddy. Therapy for me is being outside, either in my garden or my kayak. As … Continue reading Summer Therapy

The Highest Tides In The World

June 20, 2021June 20, 2021 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 25 Comments

It is said that nowhere in Nova Scotia is more than 67 km (42 mi) from the ocean. Once you look at the map of my home province, you will see how true that is. Nova Scotia has 13,300 km of coastline on the Atlantic Ocean. A coastline that consists of amazing beaches, wonderful waves, … Continue reading The Highest Tides In The World

Saturday Morning On Lake Echo

September 5, 2020September 13, 2020 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 4 Comments

The Doc and I live on the Mineville end of Lake Echo in Nova Scotia. I actually grew up on the other end although we didn't live in a house on the water. When The Doc and I decided to move back to Nova Scotia from Ontario over twenty years ago, (well back for me–The … Continue reading Saturday Morning On Lake Echo
