A right of summer in Nova Scotia is the blooming of wild roses. For me, it means the start of my summer at my grandparents house. Growing up, these, homemade bread, and chainsaw oil/gas always bring me back to Lequille, near Annapolis Royal. #novas

Who ever would have thought that the notable 2020 school year would end like it did. Across the province students and staff missed the goodbyes and traditional end of the year celebration like prom and commencement ceremonies. At Lockview High, in Fall River, staff and parents tried to make it as special as they could. Over the last four days each grad has had a chance to walk across the stage, receive their diploma, and say their goodbyes, including Brooke, from Wellington. #grad #school #2020 #lockview #lockviewhighschool #fallriver #halifaxnoise #explorecanada🇨🇦 #explorehalifax #haligonia #novascotia #graduation2020 @halifaxnoise @explorehalifax @haligonia.ca #nstu

There is nothing like a field of Scottish Highland cattle to make you stop and spend an hour or so. I talked to the farmer and she told me the cows don't like this time of year because its to warm. They keep the horns on them because they cool their body temperature! Standing in a brook does that as well!

They are baaaaaackkk! Seeing the Lupins start to flower in Marshalltown near Digby today make me think of how amazing it is to see the world through Maud Lewis's paintings.

I met up with Paula from Paula’s Tailor shop on Farnham Gate road in Halifax a Few months ago at the start of the pandemic. She was one of the first people making masks. Today, she told me it’s hard to keep her business going with wedding and prom season virtually gone this year. She is still making masks including this Nova Scotia strong one. Can we help her out? #novascotia #novascotiastrong #halifaxnoise #explorehalifax #smallbusiness #smallbusinessowner #mask #canada #haligonia @halifaxnoise @explorehalifax @igers_novascotia #igers_novascotia @haligonia.ca
