Urim and Thummim
I wasn’t sure when I would officially end this particular journey; My last farm? After exactly 6 months? Moncton? Arriving in Avonport?
Then I remembered my rocks. I collected them from the beach in Victoria, after leaving my two rocks from Newfoundland there. The idea was to bring them all the way back across Canada, and at times when I was unable to make a decision I could pull either the light or the dark one out of my pocket and act accordingly. However, just like in the Alchemist, I found that I was able to make decisions without them and for the last 4 months they have been carried in my purse instead of in my pockets.
I had thought that I would deposit them close to my former home in Grande-Digue, but today, when Melanie (my new housemate) suggested we took a walk on the beach, I realised that this was the final resting place for both myself and my rocks. Well, until the next time…
Goodbye Friends
I am now installed in my new home, overlooking the Bay of Fundy, but from the other side. Melanie has a ‘real job’ with responsibilities, staff and set hours. I am the bum who lives in her spare room and doesn’t ‘do’ anything. Hopefully that will change soon.
I went to the Wolfville Farmers’ Market today and reconnected with some farmers and inspectors that I have known for some time. This evening there is a party and then another one tomorrow night and another one the night after. Apparently it isn’t always like this…

So ladies and gents, the fat lady has sung and all that is left to do is clear away the chairs and tables and stagger home merrily singing. Tomorrow is a brand new day.

i’m really going to miss this blog…it was so much fun to read it and follow your journey over the last months. Thank you for sharing it.
Guess it’s the end of a chapter and start of a new one.
Hugs.
Thanks Bonnie:-) One final page to add to this blog and then its on to the next one… not sure if I’ll be writing every day however!
Are you going to be doing the Next Phase blog?
Working on that now. I wanted this one to be wrapped up fully first. Just need to add a final page and then its done and on to the next one. Thanks for reading – it feels kind of strange that anyone would be interested, but also really nice!
I’ll miss reading about your adventures. A new blog sounds like a fine idea! Happy Winter Solstice and all the other holidays you may be celebrating! And, please keep us updated, by email, blog or otherwise!
HUGS!
Was just looking into setting up a new blog as we speak. Seems like a nice way to launch into the new year:-)
The next blog?…. Rowena takes flight! Follow your heart, it is always right. We will miss you here in Moncton but Wolfville is not very far. If you run into Alex and Selene, give them a great big hug for me.
Love & Gratitude,
Lise
