Snowflake Window

Begin doing what you want to do now.
We have only this moment,
sparkling like a star in our hand
and melting like a snowflake.

Snowflake Window - Part 5 of 5

This window was salvaged from a house in Wileville (just outside of Bridgewater, NS) that was being renovated. The window was repaired and repainted white. I added snowflakes in white, pink, and pale mauve. The words are courtesy of Sir Francis Bacon...from over 400 years ago!

$150 Window measures 25 5/8 inches wide x 39 5/8 inches high. (sorry...can't be shipped!)

Sunday Fundy Drive

A sunny day had us heading north to the Fundy Shore. A few photos for your viewing pleasure...

A BIG THANK YOU to all the folks who ordered my calendars....and still want them even though there is a photo glitch (one photo was repeated...totally my fault and not the fault of the printer). Who knows...maybe they will be a collector's item one day...like a coin minted incorrectly. ha! Calendars will be in the mail tomorrow.

Olympic Torch Relay

This is what it looked like in Lunenburg last night......for the 2010 Olympic Torch Relay.Lunenburg was selected as a "celebration community" for the Olympic torch. The torch is being run from coast to coast and is the longest domestic relay in Olympic history. The flame will be carried by 12,000 torchbearers across the country. The relay began on October 30th, and will complete its journey in Vancouver on February 12th. There was lots of excitement in the air as we all waited for the flame to arrive.We were entertained with music, and acrobats, and choirs, and glowing Coke bottles...

But finally the big moment arrived...
...and the flame was transferred to the stage.

We all sang Oh Canada. I usually get teary eyed when I sing our national anthem, but this time I actually cried. What a great country to live in!

And even though the Olympics are totally commercialized (glowing Coke bottles and all), it was a once in the lifetime experience and I was glad I was part of it. One of the event sponsors had a great slogan on their sign..."the journey just got better".

A good life slogan, don't you think? I think I'll change it to: The journey just gets better.
