You say Lupine, I say Lupin. But now I know it’s Lupinus, known as lupin or lupine, is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family Fabaceae. I remember them from my Mum’s garden in England, they bloomed every year – various shades of pink, purple, yellow, white, and blue. Their spikey flowers reaching for the sky and the rich green leaves.

Silence all around, well other than four lobster boats purring in the background and sun streaming through the windows, what better place to write. It’s mid-June and summer has arrived here in northern Nova Scotia. The trees are in full foliage providing shade and evidence of a slight breeze.

I think about the past more often now I am in my senior years. Not because I’m longing for my youth, but because it’s fun to remember. My childhood was enjoyable and in the early 1950s people were celebrating the end of World War II and rationing.

I Love Rhubarb Don't You?What a Week! The days of going out more than staying in are past. It’s a choice. We enjoy our home here in Salmon River, Nova Scotia and the evenings are usually spent, reading, chatting, or watching something benign on Netflix. I know, it’s not the life of social butterflies that’s for sure. But every now and again we break out! Last week was one of those times.
