My Canada ~ The Great Canadian Blog Bash!!

I am so excited to be participating in

Every month when I get my Canadian Living magazine
the first thing I read
is the last article ~ My Canada

I love the stories
written about places all across
this fabulous country or ours

so when I was planning my blog bash post
I knew exactly what I was going to do

come with me ~ to my little piece of heaven
down a dirt road


to Dorchester Cape

I grew up here on week-ends
it is the place my Dad was born and raised

coming down the hill looking off to the left
is my grandparents farm


many a good time was spent in this house
my grandmother was always doing something
and the smells from her kitchen were heavenly

 

we walked up and down this road many times

to the beach and back

for swimming and bonfires

in the winter it was sliding and snowshoeing

and some snowmobiling too

in the early 80's Mom & Dad decided that they had enough of camping

and wanting a more permanent place to spend our week-ends

so with land that was bought from a relative for $1.00

Dad cut down some trees ~ took them to the mill

and built a little cabin in the woods

it's not much ~ but it's ours

and it is my quiet place

my do nothing place

my...

walking the road taking pictures of wildflowers

or down by the beach collecting treasures

 or just lying in the hammock and reading a book

eating what we want ~ when we want

naps are always welcome

now my little beach is on Shepody Bay

which is part of the Bay of Fundy

if you stand on our beach and look across the water

you will see Hopewell Rocks

Sandstone pillars of the Hopewell Rocks, on the New Brunswick side of the Bay of Fundy, Canada. The Bay of Fundy has the highest tides in the world, with billions of tonnes of salt-water flowing in and out of the bay, twice a day... every day.

have you heard about the New 7 Wonders of Nature

well the Bay of Fundy is in the running to become one of the 7

so take a minute and give a shout out to Canada

and cast your vote here

I truly love my beach

rocks and all!
