More like Weekly and maybe sometimes by-weekly. In my defense we moved this weekend and the end of last week so I didn’t have much time. I know… excuses, excuses! I am not in much of a blogging or designing mood lately though. I think I found a Wacom Bamboo Tablet that I may try and pick  up tonight if the person messages me back. Maybe that’ll get me in the mood. There is tons of tutorials for drawing with tablets to get me started. I have been trying to do a little photo manipulation and also have put my 2 cameras up on kijiji.ca to see what I could get out of them. I want to either trade the two of them up for a better dSLR or sell them and buy one.

So I said we moved this weekend. We have everything finally in my parents place and guess what? On Saturday while in the middle of moving our water pipe decided to burst flooding the basement and endangering everything we just put down there. Not to mention the fact we spent most of the weekend with the water off while trying to first fix then replace the pipe. Lets just say there was no happy campers in my house this weekend.

I got a raise this pay, plus there was no rent to pay (other then the $50 bi/weekly we promised to pay mom each to live there to help with food and such) so for once I paid everything up a little in advance and still have a little left over. What a nice feeling!

Going to start back on walking every night tonight. Put it off for the weekend figuring that 1) there would be no time and 2) we’d be too tired and 3) we got enough excersise by lifting heavy furniture and sweating in the hot sun while doing it… so back to the daily grind tonight. If Keith won’t come I’ll grab a dog and go for a short walk with them just to get back into the swing of things.

My friend Erin and I decided on Tuesday since I was off and she was off to pool our money together and drive to the town of Truro which is about an hour away and go for a walk. We both love just driving aimlessly and taking pictures. Since Nova Scotia is mainly valleys and Oceans we decided to head the other way into the “mountains” and go for a hike.

My mom suggested Victoria Park which is essentially a 400 acre wooded park in the middle of the town! It’s really pretty. There is 2 sets of waterfalls in the park and lots of beautiful woodlands. Hills and ravines and lots and lots of green. We are having the greenest, warmest April on record here. It is like mid June weather already. Warm and sunny. Except today of course which was cool and sunny.

We walked up one side of the brook to the falls and took some pictures there.

Then we continued up to the second set of falls and onto a set of wooden bridges and paths set into the side of the falls and over the top. It was beautiful!

We went down into a little area at the pool at the base of the waterfall and sat on the rocks, it was so tranquil and peaceful. I love being near waterfalls…

It was a nice walk. About an hour and a half total. I definitely want to go back there sometime this summer and get some more pictures. It’s made me want to go explore some more waterfalls and trails in Nova Scotia!

I am working on getting about 10 images per gallery set up from all my trips with Erin (or anyone) to display on the site.  As soon as I do so I will blog about it. In the meantime check out my photos on Facebook for this and other adventures! I think I have them all publicly available… if not let me know.

Boy has it ever warmed up over the last few days. Last week there was mornings I woke up and it was around 0. It’s like 15 degrees today in Chester. And in the city (where I live) it is like 24 apparently. Celsius… just in case your wondering. 24 is like 75 in Fahrenheit. It’s a beautiful day out. We took the puppies outside for some air and let Billy run around a bit. I got a couple of good pictures.

I have been trying to convince either my boyfriend or my brother to go down to the beach at Queensland Beach. But since they wont go my Mom and Mary-Ellen went with me.  We spent about an hour and a half at the two beaches and then a small drive just to spend some of the afternoon outside. I got a few more pictures there. As well as a video. I’m going to try posting the video… hopefully it will work, if not let me know.

Not bad huh? At least I got something to blog about. Keith and I are leaving in a few minutes to go back to Halifax and then drive over to his brother’s place for a bit. Then I have tomorrow and Tuesday off. I have no idea what I am going to do with myself.  I guess I’ll figure something out. At least the weather is good. I can’t wait to go swimming and go to the beach and walk in flip flops and shorts or capris.

Okay so I am proud of myself. I got up this morning and decided to go for a walk about 10. I drove over to Cole Harbour and went for a walk on the Heritage Trails. I stuck by the farms and woods but ended up down by the water a bit. I got some pictures though nothing really spectacular. I’ll add a few at the end of this post. But all in all I walked about 2 hours (1 hour each way) I think it worked out to about 10km or more. I was trying to figure it out later cause I did not look at the km markers along the way. I guess I should have.

I then went to meet my parents at the QEII Lifestyle Lottery Show Home. They bought a ticket for $100. On Wednesday I think Keith and I are gonna go splits on one too since the grand prizes are really nice and it goes to a good cause. The Grand Prize is a $900,000 home in Glen Arbour and $15,000 Cash. The Second Grand Prize is a $390,000 cottage, a Boat and $5000 cash. Plus tons of early bird prizes. So if your from around here check it out. Not that you probably don’t already know about it. Who doesn’t!

Anyways here is the pics:

So I decided to start the weekend off on the right foot and get this photo a day thingy going. I decided to do 2 photos for day one since I took so many off them. These are unedited in photoshop so if color quality or anything is off I apologize.  I had planned on finishing the theme and editing fotobooks css templates (which seems to do nothing) and get all the photos uploaded to facebook tonight at work but we were just to busy.

At least I got a good start to the day. After staying up till 2am last night working on this theme I got up at 7 and took Keith in to work then came home and showered and picked Maddy up. We drove to Peggy’s Cove and got horribly lost.  We ended up in Hubbards. Which is a good ways away. So that really did not work as planned. However once we got to the lighthouse the beauty of it and the day itself was enough to make everything okay. Not that it wasn’t anyways. It was a warm (13C) sunny day.

Heading down the valley tomorrow still so more pictures will be taken. Maybe from the look-off. Which is absolutely stunning.  If only my pictures could do it justice. I think I am gonna spend Monday night at work just relaxing and browsing some domains, blogs and personal sites. If anyone has any suggestions or want me to look at your site let me know. I am also looking for some more “affiliates”. I’m looking for mostly blogs, domains, photoblogs, and personal sites with usable content. I don’t care how young or old (like me) you are. As long as your site interests me.

So my cousin had her baby last night. Not that I ever mentioned her being pregnant, since my blogs not that old and she has obviously been pregnant long enough to give birth… she had a baby boy! Mason John. My aunt sent pics. He’s beautiful, adorable and so big 8lbs 9oz.

Time for bed…
