Kejimkujik Seaside

How we love our province... and all that it offers!

Today, we ventured for the first time to Kejimkujik Seaside Park by Port Joli. What a spectacular place. After hiking a two kilometer trail that "passes through dense coastal forest, beside bogs rich with orchids, over coastal barrens," we reached the sandy beaches at the coast. We are convinced that the seal lounging on a small rocky is a Parks Canada paid employee who poses for the benefit of visitors.

Trees evidently require more nutrients than sand offers.

Rest and relaxation

Although we enjoy the cottage mostly for leisure activities, a property does require some maintenance - particularly one that is 105 years old. This year’s projects were many and varied in our minds, but few and specific in reality. During June, Susan dedicated herself to craft a beautiful quilted table runner, and I spent some time throughout the summer removing old putty glazing from the windows. Special thanks go to my brother Danny for caulking the windows, and to Tim McKinnon (our contractor) for providing the staging.
