The bad news is you're falling through the air,
nothing to hang on to, no parachute.
The good news is - there is no ground

love it !!

I spent a kinda impromptu, fabulous, 2 night stay vacation in the city (Halifax) at my favourite spa retreat, you know the one - ya huh ! I stayed at my happy place. A place where I feel only good things. Amazing & wonderful ! How lucky am I to have such a place. Monday morning I took part in a great licensing & intro to copyright/trademark law workshop especially for artists illustrators & craftspeople put on by CEED & Craft Alliance later on MLou joined fellow workshop mates (& blogging friends) Shelagh & Daina & I - hooray ! - for another delicious lunch at Mezza falafal platter s'il vous plait !

  4. Lovely Susan.

    I think our provincial flower is the May Flower.

    Wish it was the Lupin instead.
