This last week has really been a roller coaster week.
After all the negotiations and the dealings I don't mind saying I felt spent.
But now it's settled and we have a new town to move to and a new dwelling to move in to.
I spent a good deal of today searching the yard for signs of Spring.
I found a Marsh Marigold in a flower bed.
I found this. Whatever it is, I know it spreads easily.
And it blooms a pretty purple flower.
The gulls were noisy today and seemed to be
having a gay ole' time in the water!
The water was so calm and clear today I could see the rocks shining through.
When the lake is shimmering it always reminds me of Anne of Green Gables.
After crossing over a rumbling bridge she looks back at the water and says,
"Good night, dear Lake of the Shiny Waters. I always say good night to the things I love, just as I would to people. I think they like it. That water looks as if it was smiling at me.
L.M. Montgomery
And now I say good night to you from my own shiny waters.
I think Anne and I might have been kindred spirits
had she been for real......
Ohhhh beautiful!

ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence - I just finished reading "Before Anne of Green Gables" the story of Anne's life before she went to Matthew and Marilla.
ReplyDeletePEI is a beautiful place, I was born and brought up there!!
What a beautiful sunset over the waters and I love that quote from Anne of Green Gables. Good luck with your move! I'm glad to see that spring is almost there!

ReplyDeleteWhat lovely pictures. I particularly love the one of the lake with the pebbles!! The colours are lovely and the water so clear!! Joan
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. and ANNE OF GREEN GABLES is one of my favorite books. In fact....I collect them. I like to find different editions of it.
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are soo pretty, and Anne of Green Gables is one of my all time favorites. A perfect line for that scene. Hope the move goes well. It's nice to know where you will be. Looking forward to hearing more.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that everything is moving right along and you already have another place..wow, you two don't fool around! Can't wait to hear all about your new place and the move..when will it be?

ReplyDeleteKimberly,
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to hear you've closed on your old & new home.
Beautiful pictures, I'll miss your pictures of the lake. I hope your close to the lake at your new place.
I will always think Anne was real. I can't wait to see where you end up.
ReplyDeleteI know you will miss your lake.
Your photos are beautiful and yes, that does look like the Lake of Shiny Waters. I know if Anne had been real we would definitely have been kindred spirits, and I think you and I are so, I'm sure you would have been Anne's kindred spirit, too.
ReplyDeleteI would love to know where you are moving to, curious people like to be in the know. :)
Hugs, Cindy
Your shiny lake is beautiful, Kimberly. You will miss it when you move. Or maybe there will still be a lake in sight? You know we are all curious about where you are going! :)
