i think i would die! as for our fresh fruit and veg from the store - we have an awesome Atlantic Superstore in our 2 big cities - lots of organic fruits and veggies! they might not be local but they are at least organic. we try to eat as locally as possible but we also like to include a variety of food in our diets.<br /><br />ya - we had a bunch more snow over the past week. and yes, i read that you were learning about hygge - i think a lot of homebodies already practice hygge whether they know it or not. but it's nice to be conscious of it and consciously setting up our homes and gardens to be more reflective of the hygge concept.<br /><br />our first year here because we were all backwards and had an extra cupboard in front of our 2nd kitchen door - we set our little greenhouse up on the table! talk about losing table and cupboard space, cooking food space. that was dumb-*ss and we learned from our mistake!<br /><br />oh the seafood and shellfish and regular fish here is to die for! you definitely enjoyed some of the best living in PEI and Moncton. we are super lucky indeed! xoxoxkymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-73642269009176139242017-04-04T18:04:43.473-03:002017-04-04T18:04:43.473-03:00thanks a bunch Sol! and as much as we don't li...thanks a bunch Sol! and as much as we don't like it - that cedar had to come down, just like your biggest one that was rotten in the middle.<br /><br />oh an excellent day for sailing - can't wait! and i love my first sun and wind burn of the year - bahahahah! xoxokymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-68257864895087932712017-04-04T18:03:25.764-03:002017-04-04T18:03:25.764-03:00i have been watching all of the work that you guys...i have been watching all of the work that you guys are doing, Dawn - great job! i can't wait to see how the new hedge grows in! xoxkymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-33487470764443686462017-04-04T18:02:49.071-03:002017-04-04T18:02:49.071-03:00yes, i have garden envy seeing all of you southern...yes, i have garden envy seeing all of you southerners putting your gardens - ya show-off - bahahahah! hugs back to both of you! xoxoxkymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-6332194385994848052017-04-04T18:02:07.023-03:002017-04-04T18:02:07.023-03:00yes Harry - we feel the same way. but in your situ...yes Harry - we feel the same way. but in your situation you have to take them down. bahahahaha! i read your second paragraph to jambaloney and we got a good kick out of it! xoxoxkymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-66618531241726972572017-04-04T18:01:13.448-03:002017-04-04T18:01:13.448-03:00the almond oil works really well with basmati, jas...the almond oil works really well with basmati, jasmine, sticky, brown and white rice. it adds a little more nuttiness to the flavour. xoxkymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-85041117776103773422017-04-04T18:00:25.045-03:002017-04-04T18:00:25.045-03:00you and me both Dallas! i hate cutting down trees ...you and me both Dallas! i hate cutting down trees - for that matter - we hate cutting our grass and only cut what absolutely has to be cut! jam will make great use of that cedar. thank you for the compliment. and i think that spring is finally on it's way. xoxokymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-69791382630991744162017-03-30T22:06:50.332-03:002017-03-30T22:06:50.332-03:00Well, I'm here with four rowdy cats who can...Well, I'm here with four rowdy cats who can't make up their minds if they want in or out! LOL. But during the day they all settle down. :)<br /><br />Very good idea to put up the greenhouse in side! I've wondered about those things and couldn't think of what to do with one. <br /><br />We've had several trees too close to the foundation too. Funny how people don't take full growth into account when they plant.

Just in time to challenge my weekend! I've got the same seed-starting set up without the cool wooden frame. I need myself a Jambaloney! As usual, your food is awesome.

I wish I could eat avocado, but that's my worst allergy, it always looks so creamy and delicious though. You seem to have a good supply of fresh fruit! The fruit at the grocery stores here are tiny and dried up, ick. I stick to frozen berries and (as fresh as I can get) apples all winter. I can't wait to taste some really juicy oranges though!<br /><br />We're having more snow this weekend too and the pets are all fine dozing and hanging out in the yard, but I need something! I'm reading some boogs on Hygge, the Danish way of making life very cozy. It's a very interesting concept, I found the books online to download.<br /><br />I love your indoor seed-starting greenhouse. I don't think we can set that up right now, but it's something I would love to have at our new place in a few years. <br /><br />Just reading "crab" and "lobster" season makes my mouth water. I remember the lovely seafood available when I lived on PEI and in Moncton...it's such a treat!Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-36256586113521583302017-03-30T13:23:01.243-03:002017-03-30T13:23:01.243-03:00Food looks AMAZING!

Some people were really ...Food looks AMAZING! Yum<br /><br />Some people were really upset when we cut down the trees here. But they were sucking all the moisture out of the ground and were hitting the house in bad weather. Let alone the biggest was rotten right through the middle. sometimes lovely trees are dangerous.<br /><br />Hope the weather gets better soon! it was warm here today. 20 oC when I left work! And I accidentally got sun and wind burn on Sunday in Cornwall. It was an excellent day for sailing!Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-27321788522863933772017-03-30T03:18:03.119-03:002017-03-30T03:18:03.119-03:00We have had to cut trees down since being here, bu...We have had to cut trees down since being here, but to date I have planted just over 1000 new ones, unfortunately the previous owner neglected the trees and hedge lines and we had a fair bit of taming to do.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05213759909336433460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-53614227260986037232017-03-29T20:46:49.961-03:002017-03-29T20:46:49.961-03:00Awesome!!

Big poplars and Maples, mostly. But when they get diseased, they represent a real threat. People get killed up here in the mountains by trees falling on their houses at night during storms.<br /><br />Poor Cedar tree. It wanted to grow up, so it could become shakes to repair my house. All of the the cedar shakes I buy at Home Depot come from Canada.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-2907492048729412402017-03-29T15:19:26.473-03:002017-03-29T15:19:26.473-03:00I do the same steps as Jambaloney making rice exce...I do the same steps as Jambaloney making rice except for the dollop of almond oil.
