Summer Time Hooking
It is fresh strawberry picking and eating time in Nova Scotia! We are so blessed to have so many growers of strawberries around us. My granddaughter Sophie and her family went picking strawberries and she is holding up in the photo above a unique looking strawberry.
Do you hook less or more during the summer months? A few of us went hooking on Thursday at the Ottawa House in Parrsboro, NS with the Beachside Rug Hookers. It was a lovely time and this...

The above I am not sure if he was 'actually' flying, but he sure could leap in the air! I went to take a photo of him peaking around my red post of my deck and little did I know at the time, I caught him in mid flight. I couldn't have planned this if I tried!
