Labour Day Long Weekend...

We have been out on our boat for the past few days enjoying a relaxing time with friends and family.


Port Browning on Pender Island


Many boats drop the hook and anchor in the bay.


We tie up at the marina as we do not have a generator on board.


There is a lovely beach just over this rocky outcropping.

Beach combing while walking along the shoreline is an activity that I quite enjoy.

I heard that Ellie passed away...
so sad 
she fought long and hard battling ALS.
I hope that she is at rest and that her family will be supported and surrounded with friends and family to help them cope with their grief.


I read her blog and bought her book and hope that she will now be at peace.

I thought about writing a tribute to her here on the blog but after reading 

 I felt that they said it best.


I thought of Ellie on my beach walk.

Clam shells were scattered along the stretch of beach...


A driftwood shelter


Rock with a heart on it...


Heart shaped rocks...
might be a strange thing to collect but I do!


Mr. HB found the last two heart rocks.


Queen Anne's Lace and Chicory line the paths...
such a pretty combination Mother Nature has painted for us to enjoy.


I have been savouring every word of Louise Penny's newest mystery novel.
She is a brilliant writer and I absolutely LOVE her books.

I have several chapters left to finish and so I will close for now...
Hope that you have had a lovely weekend.
