News, weekly blog posting from Della's Rug Hooking.

We are in the middle of winter and so far I think we've faired pretty well regarding snow.  We haven't had much to date.  The above photo was taken from the car on our way home from Buctouche, NB yesterday.  This particular inlet, fishing shacks (tents usually) are set up.
