You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.

Hiking up towards the light on the Burnt Head Loop Trail.I asked marian to make a shape and she asked the Brigus Tunnel to dance.We had a quick stop in Brigus to visit the Brigus tunnel on the way back from our picnic day out and I never lost Marian, first nor last.Potato harvest day #2 in the garden with our small crew.Marian checking out the waves crashing on the rocks off Green Point. With this shot, I was trying to emphasize that Marian matched the lighthouse. :-). #HikeNL #ExploreNLWhat a time we had with our @rootsrantsroars #MyFoodHike that we picked up from @seaspunyarnandcoffee in Carbonear. We hiked Nell’s Walking Trail (and learned about Nell Finn, a pioneering woman in NL municipal politics). We sipped our excellent coffees from SeaSpun and enjoyed walking through the autumnal vegetation beside a babbling Brook. We ventured to Green Point to attempt our own version of a lighthouse picnic but the gale like conditions invited us to reconsider. We found a lovely spot for our repose at the Shalloway Dock in Port De Grave. We unpacked our picnic and were amazed at the yumminess before us. Blueberry soup, apple cider, lemon chicken paninis with goat cheese and arugula, lemon and pumpkin loaf, and a yummy fall muffin in a jar with @nlchocolateco bars for snacks. Delicious all round and enough so we enjoyed our picnic once again for dinner as we told stories about our day. We also hiked the Burnt Head Loop in Cupids and ran through The Tunnel in Brigus-all with a backdrop of 8 degrees, rain, drizzle and 40-60 km winds. With layers and rain gear and not much common sense, a fine day out! Thanks to @seaspunyarnandcoffee for the yummy treats that helped us out the door on a not so nice but fine day to be out. @legendarycoasts #HikeNL #ExploreNLTA’s Facebook Page
