From Bonavista, to Vancouver Island,Feel like a view? There are free for asking…actually you might need to hike a bit to get this view of the St. John’s Harbour.Sunset over the garden. After an epic delay in Montreal, I made it back home yesterday having done 11 flights in 17 days. What a trip. I’m confused now that the sun sets do early or at all! Spent the last two evenings in the garden. Marian was a garden champ while I was gone.I’m back South, visiting family, on my way back home tomorrow with lots of memories and stories to tell.Thanks all for the wonderful birthday greetings. Our last day with the NTEP cohort ended with time out on the land (and ice) doing some fishing and having a birthday party for two of us that share the same birth date. It’s been another rich and full week of learning for all. I think I’ve found my athletic calling in the musk ox fight game!Happy Birthday to me! It’s always so lovely to be feted and celebrated on my birthday. I love birthdays! They are always a chance to let folks know how glad we are that they were born and grace our lives with care, love, humour, and shared adventures of all sorts. Here’s to celebrating!TA’s Facebook Page
