One
of my favourite haunts! Libraries and bookstores fill me with intense
calm and excitement at the same time. When I was a little girl we would
make the trip to the library once a week and I would load up on Dr.
Seuss, Curious George and Babar books. My brothers and I would plonk
ourselves on the floor and get lost in the possibilities of choice. So
hard to decide which books to bring home. I still tend to get carried
away and bring home too many books.
This is the Keshen Goodman Library. I've never thought to bring my camera there before.
and.......as
I write this it is snowing! Sideways backwards and upside down. The
wind is blowing it everywhere. My daughter has to go to work at 1pm. I
think it will terrible out there by then:( I am thinking the bus would
be a better choice than driving. Those first few winter drives are
always nerve wracking. No salt on the roads yet, lots of slippy sliding.
The
wee reindeer in this picture is a fellow I fell in love with. Covered
in birch bark and sparkly salt crystals, I captured him in a window
display.
Ooh and my latest discovery this weekend was born out of a desperate desire to recreate this!
I had bought a box as a splurge and loved it! So, when it was finished
I decided to try my own version. It worked! 2 bags of any decaffe tea,
2 bags of Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice tea
which I adore and always have), 5 green cardamon pods about 4 cups of
water and simmer till dark and inky. House smells wonderful. Add honey
and serve half milk and half chai mixture. Yum.
December Views
- Up early to go shopping at No Coast Craft-o-rama. The power of No Coast is enough to get me over my loathing of both shopping & waking up. #
- Just aired up my tires. Heading to Art of This for Galen Treuer's reading of England. With Noah Bremer and Molly Van Avery! Yes! #
- When I get the energy and verve to do things, I'm cursed by my brain's desire to do all of them AT ONCE. That's the kind of day it's been. #
loudtwitter.com set all this up for me.

The famous view from Citadel Hill of the Old Town Clock.
Built in 1803 it has been keeping time for 206 years! Off in the
distance is Georges Island and behind that a glimpse of McNab's island
sitting at the mouth of the harbour.
Soon that green hill will be covered with snow. We are expecting a storm tonight! Rain then snow ending at noon. Winter arrives with a bang when it does come:) I've got some books and chai tea at the ready to keep me cozy.
Here's a sneak peek of a draw we are having on December 30th. Really only applicable to locals but you can pop over and have a look. HalifaxChicks Prize Draw for BustaMove
$4.99 for 12. Not fantastic but I've had worse (farmer's market).
These are in the freezer section. The chocolate ones are better.

This morning I awoke recalling a wonderful dream of an old friend Sara Burks, my brother's ex-girlfriend from Cal days. In the dream, we met at a scooter rally, and she beamed as she passed around her newly published monograph, which placed her among the - unbeknownst to me - many others in their crowd who were authors. (I've lost contact with her)
I
can't believe it is December 4th already. I think it is because of the
weird warm weather. It feels like September. There are even flowers
still blooming in people's gardens. This is the season of snow and
cold, not mild and wet. In some ways I am relieved because the winters
can be long and harsh and towards the end, I go a bit nutty
but.....still.....it makes me uneasy that the seasons are becoming so
unpredictable.
Oh and remember, those wee baby animal and parent paintings I did? I have them available as prints in my Etsy shop now.
Ending on a silly note, "Yep , I'll have another martini please" TGIF
Wine and cows.
Can't wait for this restaurant to open.
