    Summer has almost come to an end. This summer was Summer has almost come to an end. This summer was crazy busy & honestly, I can’t wait to get back into the routine of school again. 
The highlights from summer 2026:
- my hydrangeas, always a highlight
- lots & lots of time spent at the beach 
- did plenty of sewing (3 pairs of shorts, a button down, 1 pair of pants)
- visited Sherbrooke village
- forest fire 
- We could see the Bluenose from our house when it visited our community 

And plenty more memories 💕

Now, I’m literally counting down the days till school starts 😂

    Being from the coast means you know how unpredicta Being from the coast means you know how unpredictable the weather is going to be. 
1 minute, you’ll be out in a t-shirt sweating and the next, the wind picks up by A LOT and you need a wool knit sweater…. Or my favourite, it just starts to down pour. 

Having a sweater on hand all year round is an essential on the coast.

Not only have the temperatures been fantastic (what I remember summers being like as a kid) but this summer is reminding me of why I love my home province so much.
