doers' and dreamers'

I have a confession to make. Today I officially became a Newfoundlander but I am smitten with another province-- Nova Scotia. I drove through Nova Scotia and although covered in snow, it was extraordinary. My mum was born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia along with her 5 other brothers and sisters. The province has always had a certain appeal to me not only because of family roots but because of the climate and the Annapolis valley. Nova Scotia has an amazing climate that allows for amazing fruit farms and wineries-- two of my favourite things.

I also love how close it is to New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. I love Newfoundland so I'm a bit torn. I won't be leaving Newfoundland any time soon as I have a one year lease on my apartment. I also believe that I need to fully experience Newfoundland culture before I make any decisions on moving. I plan to visit Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island this summer to get a real feel for these two amazing provinces.

To add to the Project Noble Beaver list, I did visit TVAL Skincare and purchased two jars of Lilac Blossom body butter to help with my dry skin. Not only is TVAL Canadian but the products I purchased were made right here in St. John's. Cool eh? Did I mention Lilac?! My favourite scent. I am also posting this blog entry from the Hava Java cafe. I almost went to Starbucks today and turned around. Some habits die hard.

I have the weekend to relax and read since government as usual doesn't do weekends. So the reading list:

• Anita Stewart's Canada by Anita Stewart
• A Taste Of Canada: A Culinary Journey by Rose Murray
• Food Security for the Faint of Heart by Robin Wheeler
• doers' and dreamers' guide - Nova Scotia Tourism
• Experience New Brunswick - New Brunswick Tourism
• The Gentle Island - Price Edward Island Tourism

I'm a little behind with the reading but want to wish you welcome home and happy birthday, belatedly! I am glad you made it in one piece.
Good thing there's lots of good yarn to be had in Canada! You'll be fine. :)
