Spent some time today with a Beach Buddy from Virginia Beach SPCA. Dogs deserve randomish acts of kindness too. She enjoyed a short hike, chasing lizards, and treats. Hopefully, she'll rest well today and get adopted soon.

Peggy's Cove/King Neptune Campground is even an idyllic spot to have a mindful moment watching a rain storm move in 🌧.

New favorite summer spot...Peggy's Cove/King Neptune Campground in Nova Scotia. Not much to do here but something about the power, beauty, & simplicity of the place have me dreaming of spending a writer's summer here.

High technology has done us one great service: It has retaught us the delight of performing simple and primordial tasks – chopping wood, building a fire, drawing water from a spring.

Took a family walk this evening to visit & donate to the little free library of VB Middle's own Carra Doyle. Such good work worth a follow on instagram.com/spruceknobctli….

Ironically, we don't spend much time at the beach in Va Beach, but here are some days spent at the beach in Acadia, Fundy National Park, & Nova Scotia πŸ–.

Not necessarily new for me but new with the little (not so little) one πŸ›Ά. Hopefully will inspire to do on a more regular basis locally or otherwise.

For these locally sourced foods, enjoying is an understatement. Some of Vermont's finest...🍁 syrup & πŸ§€; hot 🍎 cider, cider donuts [legendary indeed 😎]; and no trip to Vermont is complete w/o a stop for samples at the Ben & Jerry's factory.

After reflecting on history and nature, we've made it to the Acadian coast to soak in all the nature for ourselves. Breathtaking sunset from the Scoodic Peninsula and some hairy rock scrambling.

Something beautiful in and about nature...it doesn't get any better or any more quintessential than hanging out with and remembering Thoreau (one of my all time favorites) at Walden Pond and reflecting on his words.

Alcott's 'Little Women' house, Emerson's and Hawthorne's Old Manse, and the kronosaurus (my daughter's fav dinosaur) at Harvard's Museum of Natural History. A good start to summer bingo and Epic Road Trip #3 😎!
