Apple Blossom Festival

Aside from a drive a couple of weeks ago to meet up with a couple of fellow bloggers in Lunenburg, I can't remember the last time I had an "adventure".

Susan, Sara and me (and Wendy)
After that awful long nasty winter  -- Can you believe I'm still bitching about it? -- I felt it was high time for one, so I hopped in my car this morning with Wendy and Sooki and we headed for Wolfville and the "Apple Blossom Festival".  

Our first stop was at a park in Wolfville that leads to dyke lands beside the Bay of Fundy.   Fog still hung low over the Bay, obscuring Blomidon in the distance.


The dogs romped across the fields and occasionally ran into the water and or slopped about in the muck.

Can you see Wendy's footprints ?

Then they'd tear out of the muck and run around like a loonies and then roll in the grass.

Sooki galloping up the hill with a big sloppy grin on her face.

Check out Sooki's paws.  Black from the muck.

After they had a good run we went back to the car to go find Apple Blossoms.

Good news !

We found them.






Oh the scent was as marvellous as the blossoms were beautiful.   Ahhhh bliss !

    1. And the scent of the blossoms almost outweighed the stench of the mucky dogs ! But we were all happy so it was worth the scent/stench.

  2. Apple blossoms are so wonderful . . . but last such a short, short time!

    1. I entirely agree. I think five months of blossoms and three days of Winter would suit me just fine.

    1. Wendy is a wonderful dog ! BTW I had a friend visiting last week and we went to MacDonald House for lunch. We asked after Jim but he wasn't in. I kept looking out the window for a certain doodle dog ... we'll meet up one day ...

  6. Speaking of posts, I realized it's been a while since I'd seen you pop up in my feed. What the heck, May? Yikes. Well those were some darn fine blossoms, and those pooches look darned happy, but how'd the rest of the summer go?
