Getting used to the little, flat, pretty island again. The trees haven't fully leafed out yet, so the prevailing color is a sort of lime green, not as verdant or lush as the New Hampshire woods were. The mountains lie long and low against the horizon, the lake and the bays complete the theme of flat lines. In Baddeck, it feels more than ever like the town is shrinking, but that could just be my new perspective. As well, summer is not in full swing yet, the tourists are not yet here.
So Einar and I didn't do any sightseeing on the way home; he drove straight from NH (leaving at 8 am) and getting in to Baddeck at midnight, going 140 all the way. We listened to country stations and Peter Tosh, talked about beekeeping and other assorted topics. I got a Tim Horton's coffee the minute we crossed the border at St. Stephen, not because I like it necessarily, but I felt it was required.
Yesterday I bought three pairs of pretty heeled shoes. Don't tell the hippies, but I'm sure I make Carrie Bradshaw proud.

the human behind the bean
I'm a 27 year old Canadian woman. I grew up on Cape Breton Island, although my parents and their families are from Quebec and Ohio. Currently I live in Cape Breton, in a small town by the Bras D'Or Lake.
I can make a good soup and tie my own shoes. I've worked as a nanny, a potter's assistant, a shop clerk, and a janitor. I've also worked in a library, and taught computers to seniors. I've travelled to Australia and New Zealand and across Canada by train. I spent two and a half years in university before I left. I like the way the air smells in the Fall.
Since 2002 - this is my blog, a place for me to write about life, what I experience, to share my photography and my writing. I'm glad you're here!
