While working with them over the past several months, we were impressed with the quality and professionalism of both the product and the process. What impressed … Continue reading Going Solar

Will We Ever Learn

April 23, 2023April 23, 2023 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 11 Comments

So Earth Day was April 22, which was yesterday at time of writing. I honestly believe that the majority of people on earth didn't know or care that this was happening, even though it has been happening since 1970 when it was considered the birth of the modern environmental movement. 1970. Fifty-three years ago. And … Continue reading Will We Ever Learn

Puddles and Shingles and Imaginary Gods

September 26, 2022September 26, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 23 Comments

If I were a believer, I might think I pissed off the gods of karma. As we know, I do have the ability to piss off people and imaginary gods. I have always held a great respect for Mother Nature so there was no way that I could be on her shit list; but if … Continue reading Puddles and Shingles and Imaginary Gods

I have written before about Nova Scotia being the home of the highest tides in the world. In particular it is the Minas Basin, part of the Bay of Fundy, where the highest measurements were recorded. There are several places where you can experience a low tide by actually walking on the ocean floor. On … Continue reading Five Islands – The Ocean Floor And So Much More

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.

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

Really, Who Am I?

January 8, 2022January 8, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 21 Comments

Every now and then I ask myself this all important question. This is more in the context of where did I come from? Yes, I know how babies are made! I am thinking more in terms of my heritage. What in my family's history has made me who I am? What do I have to … Continue reading Really, Who Am I?

Late Blooming

December 3, 2021December 3, 2021 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 27 Comments

I had felt old for a long time, like a housekeeper, like a working mother; but my body lagged behind. By fourteen, my best friend, had blossomed into a medium-sized-woman while I was still stuck in the children’s pages of the Sears Catalogue. Girls size 12 to be exact and just beginning to outgrow the … Continue reading Late Blooming

As part of our self-prescribed togetherness plan, The Doc and I have been taking road trips; and I, doing what I do, have taken a shitload of photos. So I thought I would share them with you and attach a few details. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, just consider this post to … Continue reading Driving and Dining

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

A Little Bit Of Magic And A Whole Lot Of Talent

Just outside of Liverpool Nova Scotia in Brooklyn there is a small unassuming garden center called Cosbys. Cosbys isn't big and isn't modern, but it is the home of a unique and wonderful garden.

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.

Imagine eating dinner where the hermit crabs hustle and the periwinkles play. Imagine sipping wine and drinking beer where the striped bass normally swim. Imagine dining on the ocean floor. Nova Scotia's Bay of Fundy is home to the highest tides in the world. Tides that in some places rise at a rate of one … Continue reading Dining On The Ocean Floor
