It’s hard to believe that this young couple is us, 42 years ago today. There’s been a lot of water under all kinds of bridges since then, but we have sailed, paddled, rowed, poled and occasionally motored along them together all the way. Yes, we’ve had to use buckets to bail at times, but we always managed to stay afloat because we had each other. Thanks for all these wonderful years, Steven.
We don’t always need the glory of a sunset or sunrise, or the majestic landscape of mountains to thrill and excite us. Sometimes, we need the still, calm peace that the sight of a patch of wild grasses, surrounded by simple wild flowers in the sun brings. Looking back on this older photograph, I found myself recalling the same gentle warmth of that long ago summer evening, despite the bitter cold and snow outside my window today. I hope this gives you, too, my readers, a similar memory of warmth and happy times.
Nova Scotia skies often delight and sometimes astonish me, like this one did. The valley landscape with the low, understated mountains in the distance are the perfect foil to this drama. Have a lovely week ahead, friends.
Thanks to Nova Scotia Weather Guy Jim Abraham on Mastodon for telling me the name of the cloud formation is probably cirrocumulus.

If only we could all sleep as peacefully and soundly as a cat. If we could wake up as alert and ready for action as well, that would be a bonus. Zaz wishes everyone as good a night, and as sound and restful a sleep as you can manage.
