{see the progress here!} It is hard to disregard all the signs of fall here – the students have returned, the streets are crowded, the tips are smaller and the nights are cooler. Perhaps the biggest sign is the state of my garden; dark and rambling, sprawling across it’s tiny box, throwing about tomatoes and [...]

a slice – summer saturated
By Andrea in a slice, photographyWe ended up with a fluke long weekend this week, and took full advantage! Jared took me out on a fancy lunch date on Friday, and we took the opportunity to sit on the patio and soak up what is soon to be the very last of the hot summer sun. We make it to [...]

a slice
By Andrea in a slice, photographyIt was a quiet weekend filled with waiting. J finally made his way home this weekend, we celebrated his birthday quietly with a carefully crafted dinner and glass of wine together.

Peggy and Diana
By Andrea in a slice, photography, travelWith beautiful weather ahead of us, we left town Saturday morning and spent the whole weekend exploring the province with Jared’s parents. We even made another trip to Peggy’s Cove, which was alright with me seeing as how they’ve opened the tiny artisan ice cream shack (banana cardamom? strawberry rhubarb? yes please.) and I had [...]

Sprung
By Andrea in a slice, photography{spring around our new ‘hood.} Rosebuds, I’m sneaking away for a little bit, taking some time to unpack and adjust to the new house. Woke up this morning to scads of sunlight across my face for the first time in 8 months, and felt the incredible sensation of finally being at home. It is the [...]
