Where there are more "Duck Crossing" signs than "Children Playing" signs...

Walk with me in our little piece of Heaven on this blissful, warm and completely melted day.

Today I started at this house our friends are building, @hendrix22 is doing all of the heating and ventilation. I caught a ride with him up there, so I could walk back home and see some different sights.

I went in with him for a bit first to finish my coffee and have a look around.

They have a beautiful view from the top floor.

I liked the rusty scaffold.

The melt is running hard through the ditches on this +11 degree Celsius day.

Snow never lasts long in Hacketts Cove, Nova Scotia...

I'm dodging many puddles and my feet are sinking in the mud in some spots.

I see I have a guest...The Punisher! Shitting all over my deck whilst I was away! ARGGG!!!!

I don't know how often I've said it Lyndsay but you're so lucky.
What a truly beautiful part of the world you live in.
What I'd give to live in a place so pretty, tranquil and peaceful place.
Never stop doing the walks babe, I look forward to them everyday ❤️

And I would definitely say the same if I saw your area of the world...I bet there's some pretty magnificent sights to see...the rolling hills...the ocean...the old architecture...

I live in the hills which is lovely but I miss the ocean, Mrs Percy and I will move to the coast in the next couple of years. We were both originally from coastal towns and we always lived on the coast while we travelled overseas.
The old architecture where I currently live is amazing, I'll miss that but you can find it most places. I've only ever bought brick Victorian properties, they're awesome.

Let's look at the numbers...

Screenshot_20180124-181817.jpg

Ducks.... 8
Children.... 0
Chickens.... 10.5

Your town needs a new sign. 🐤

That's great hahaha! I'll mention it at the next Council meeting hahaha!!

I liked the iguana-crossing sign... Can reptiles even survive the winters? Do you knit them coats and give them hot choco?

Yes, and we invite them in for bedtime... <3 <3

Very Beautiful walk!
I do have an issue with this homeowners methods though....
If you're trying to hide a driveway, you shouldn't advertise it!

:)


BA HAHAHHAAA!!! True DAT!! I'll have to pass your message along!

Heheeee

@lyndsaybowes, Absolutely brilliant #walkwithme post. Most stunning location you catch this time in Nova Scotia. Such a beautiful viewing all captures. +11 degree Celsius is now better for you coz past days low temperature there. But with snow create more nature styles with photo shots.
I think now has been correction of winter season. All once will be clear. Fishermen ready to go ocean again after long period. Also ducks enjoying on the water. Also shown romantic scenes maybe. Great architecture view indeed some clicks. Chicken also happy with their garden. magnificent name called them... Jhon Cena, Peter Parker etc.... Lol..

That's so funny that you said "correction" hahha!! That's exactly what I said to my husband last night, that Nova Scotia is just having a correction lol, crypto is infecting our minds!!

Another wonderful walk. Isn't this melt so grand. I love that I have not seen nary a piece of ice or snow on the beach or out in the bay. Tonight, however, it is cold as my chicken's water had a skim of ice on it :(

That last little grey building on the water, is it a boathouse of somesort? Although I can't see how the boats would get in and out. Or is it a tiny house or just a propertys little lake/beach house? Or maybe it's yours?

The last shot of water and seaweed and sun makes me want to go snorkeling. Even though I can see that out on my beach, I know how cold it is and the thought of dipping into the water just gave me a shiver. But, somehow, seeing it on my screen my first thought is warm Summer waters, even though I know it is not. Do you get to snorkel or do much 'underwater investigating' with swim masks in the Summer? I spend hours sitting with my snorkel and mask watching crabs or schools of fish. Lazy hazy days of Summer...

Ahhh yes, our ice is back now too, not a very long respite from the cold eh? How do you keep your girls' water thawed?

The little boathouse...I have no clue what it's used for, I'll have to go creep on it in the summer and find out. The tide was pretty high, so it would be quite the jump down if a boat were tied up there to that dock.

I have never snorkelled before though I would love to learn!

Another genuinely gorgeous selection of pictures from your beautiful area! You truly are blessed to be living amongst such splendor. Both tranquility and your appreciation for where you live simply oozes out of every photo. I always love going on a #walkwithyou @lyndsaybowes keep up the great work!

Aw, thanks for coming along yet again, and soaking up all of the beauty I see!!

I think that's one of the most exciting #walkwithme posts for you and I really liked these pics
you were right when you said see the life through their eyes
I think now I will start posting #walkwithme posts and use this tag
greeting mate @lyndsaybowes

That's awesome, I look forward to seeing your next walk @hatemmkh :) xo

it will be very soon and I will care about memorizing all of my walks and journeys and sharing it with the steem community using your tag

Thanks for this nice post
Great photos of nature
Your home in the center of the forest is awesome Every morning you go up to breathtaking views, the best place to live, far from the noise of the city

It is so nice, I grew up in cities and suburbs and we didn't want our children to grow up like that. Do you also live outside the city @klasanaj?

Did you figure out what the lizard sign meant? Mutant lizards crossing perhaps? Maybe that's what knocked the stop sign over...🤔

That's a really good one!

Peter Parker, John Cena, Pendrock ....Nice names.

All you now need is a Brock Lesnar to complete the crew :D

Btw, which lake/waterbody is that in the background?

Duck signs remind me of something my friend used to say: at least someone's kids are walking and not playing video games indoors.

We do need a Brock, I will keep it in mind for the next hen that needs a name :)

The water is North Atlantic Ocean :)

I vote changing Mr Pendocks name to Gaston

Gaston Ramirez or Gaston 'Beast and the Beauty's guy ? 😎

Screenshot_20180124-193548.jpg

I'll ask the kids what they think :) They may be strongly opposed... I'm for it though!

LOL "The Punisher" would be in a pot!

Oooh but she lays the biggest, most beautiful eggs... <3 :)

crap/egg/crap/egg, nope in the pot...

that's one of the views that I'm used to see every morning canal in front of my house
the ducks look really delighting
again I bow and raise my hat to you for this great collection

Thank you so much @hatman, I'm happy you love nature so much :)

I was worried you were sick or something, I look forward to your posts! I know I live here too but I like seeing things through your pics :)
Whats up with that blue lizard sign? Haha, random.
The chickens were soooo happy here today too, so warm and sunny with soft ground for scratching :) I love to see them out and about :)
Btw, is that the most wwm's linked at the bottom ever???! Good job spreading the word <3<3<3

That's why there were so many because I hadn't done a wwm for 2 days hahha :) I liked
@life-relearnt's explanation for the lizard, they said:

Did you figure out what the lizard sign meant? Mutant lizards crossing perhaps? Maybe that's what knocked the stop sign over...🤔

Yeah must be, haha!

I love that view from the second story! I have always lived within 30 minutes of the ocean except for the last 10 years and I truly miss it. Also, thanks for sharing my post. Your support with sharing and upvote have truly been keeping me going and I am extremely grateful. I will start sharing other #walkwithme posts in my post as well. Thanks for the motivation!

Thank you for taking the idea and running with it @papacrusher!!

Maybe because I do not understand English so I don't understand it. But Canada is a dream city, a beautiful city for tourists. Comfort is always there especially accompanied by a cup of coffee. Life is perfect. When I am successful, I will invite you to walk with me around the world.
I see your friend @hendrix22 on the move, he's a great guy

Notify me when a post is new to you !!!

Success to Walk With Me

Thanks so much for seeing the beauty here. I would never want to move back to the prairie lands, or any city.

Yeahhh ...

Bring me always in the beauty there, so I can also enjoy it together with you !!!

Beautiful sunny day! It looks like spring is coming when the snow is melting. Thank you for sharing your walk and photos.

Thank you very much for coming along again @cheneats! I hope you're having a good day today!

Thank you - I did have a wonderful day today. xo <3

Good Morning @lyndsaybowes,

another day and excitements on #walkwithme. feeling amazing to see your all wonderful captured shots, realy awsome work like a professional photographer.Lovely look of Mr. Pendock here.

Mr. Pendock keeping all the ladies safe in the backyard.

He has such beautiful feathers hey? I get mesmerized by them...when they turn from blue, to green, to purple, to black in the sunlight...

I really enjoy walking around with you. Very interesting and beautiful pictures. That lake is amazing. Thank you for sharing

Thank you BowenTroyer! I hope to go for a walk with you soon!!

Awesome day today for a walk/run.. What is really ironic is that I was about to take a picture of a sign and then another and then I thought I will save that idea for another day. Too funny. I see I made your #walkwithme list but I am a day behind. So I need to be a little quicker. Two hours ago I posted my Seabright run. Super cute house they have there. So glad B is able to do the work. Beautiful chickens. They are so very pretty. I have my favorite for sure. His name is Peter Parker. I love him. I want a sweator like that.

I was the one who was behind, your walk from yesterday I'll feature in today's article xo Serves me right for taking 2 days off of walking lol!

And nooooo sweaters of Peter!!

aww ok. well he is my favorite...so I will have to have my picture taken with him. xx I thought I was behind because you are so up there in the Steemit land. What are you a minnow now? no longer among the plankton...I think I am beach sand. Which I happen to love u know beach sand.

AHHAAA!! YAY for beach sand!! xoxoxoxo

Nice post!!! Definitely quite an awesome view from that house.

My favorite capture is the hidden driveway.

Any back-story on that lizard picture? Surely it's not a lizard-crossing sign ;-)

I have zero clue at all what's with that lizard sign, I have never even noticed it before, I have to ask around to some of the locals to find out I guess...

this Album is so beautiful to the degree that make you go in a journey through such a post
so it made me really enjoy
It's first time to know the tag #walkwithme and from now I will start following the posts on this tag too
thanks for letting me know that tag

That's so great to hear @mr-dreamer! I can't wait to see your contribution to the tag, I hope one day you post a walk from your area of the world!

The melt is running hard through the ditches on this +11 degree Celsius day.

These pics of melting ice and the lone green building are a beauty to behold.
A nice family outing indeed. I can now see why they have such a sign, for the cute ducky families.
Thank you ma for sharing.

Thank you so much for supporting me @eleaza :) xoxo

IMG_3832.JPG
@lyndsaybowes ...is this page around your house?
this looks amazing, I really like this kind of atmosphere, and I think this is also a good place to stay

Yes, we are very blessed to live in such a beautiful part of the world. Thank you so much @lidiasteem! I look forward to your next #walkwithme too.

Did you name all of your chickens?
Pater Parker, John Cena, Mr. Pendock, Dawn Kings and maybe some more.

Aaww, The Punisher looked angry about something. You need to make a deal there.

Actually, our friends on Steemit have named a lot of our chickens! We held contests where people would pick names!!

Such a nice view over the lake in the building! T is not a bad place to look out over, surrounded by nature! I guess you have a peaceful mind living in this area!

Love,
Sha

Thank you Sha, we are very much at peace out here, the city life was very draining for our family. I'm so happy we get to raise our 3 sons out in Nature now.

You sounds like a wise mom! The nature is so much better for kids to grow up! I am my mom and dad very thankful that they made the same decision like you did!

Love,
Sha

I guess the one in the circle is the boss of the family.
He's followed by other ducks

Yes, he is the one with the directions :) haha!!

Awesome walk. It looked so sunny that day☀️
Its good to see john cena doing well lol. That looked like a really nice day. Great post. And #chickenbitchez strike again hahah 😂 lmao

AHHAAAA I know you would love The Punisher's revenge on me, and what did I do to deserve this? Oh yeah...I steal her egg every day....

Hey great photos! (as always) Also thanks for the mention. 😊

Anytime, I send my thanks to you and @neohippy for getting out there and taking us with you!! xoxox

Nothing better than rural coastline architecture :) Looks like a nice little house your friends are building! I grew up in a town with 5x as many cows as people, so I can relate on the road signs!

Thanks for this!

Thank you so much for appreciating the beauty of today's photos, your old town sounds charming :)

The sun looks so amazing shining all over everything 👌 It's tricky to pick one highlight there's a lot to love here in this blog post ❤❤❤
I appreciate the shout out 🎂 and those gourgeous #chickenbitchez
Peace and love beautiful @lyndsaybowes

Peace and Love beautiful Angel Jill xoxo Thanks so much for taking us to that beautiful crystal store!! A very memorable walk indeed!!

Hello, Lindsay! Today my day started with a walk with You. Very nice! It's so cool to live on the coast. Very beautiful scenery. I liked the view of the ocean. Your friends have chosen a wonderful place to live. +11 degrees Celsius is already very warm. You have not left the snow. I am very glad to see again that cute boy John Cena. The whole merry team had a good time in Your absence :). They are alone at home , haha. It's a good day! The sun and heat I felt through Your pictures.Thank you!

Thank you for coming on this walkwithme Madlen <3 xoxo The chickens always get up to no good when Mom's away, the chickens will play!!

Paradise on the earth Hackett's Cove

Hy @lyndsaybowes, Thanks for sharing always something special for all of us. Your homeland is so so beautiful. I often think that the beauty of place reflects in the human of that place. Is it true?
I have added Canada in my list(I will visit some places in the world in future). Thanks for everything you share here, keep smiling and all the best.
Hese is some quick google search on Hackett's Cove, and I found this beautiful view:

201714529.jpg
Peggys Cove Road, Hackett's Cove

Right on! Well done!! xoxo Thank you so much for your interest and for enjoying the beauty of where we live. I hope one day you are able to vacation to all of the places you dream of going.

I love the fact you have 'duck crossing' signs! We have some pretty weird ones here too. My favourite from the last place I worked:
image.jpeg
Bat-eared foxes crossing 🙂

Oooh I love it!! So different from here!!

Love your duck crossing signs. And is that a gecko crossing sign? Didn't expect to see that one...Nice that the chickens decided to use your porch as a lavatory. The least they could do would be to clean up after themselves :) Looks like a beautiful day in Hacketts Cove.

The only good thing about freezing weather, frozen poop is wayyyy easier to clean up haha!!

I like that white hose by the water - it looks like a houseboat that didn't float, so they put it on stilts by the water. I guess somebody better get busy with that stop sign -- changing weather sure wreaks havoc on posts! And I'm guessing that lizard sign isn't anywhere near your chickens. The birds would be deadly on lizards, I think. ; )

Yeah, salamanders are the girls' favourite treats, and little garter snakes too mmmm....hahahaa, and huge spiders...actually, it's hard for me to think of something the hens won't eat, they're garburators!

Mr. Pendock keeping all the ladies safe in the backyard.

He is quite a gentleman you know.
The sign 'ducks xing' is a hilarious one. They must have a lot of ducks in that area. Do they have lots of salamander too? Or is that not the sign?
Thank you for sharing another beautiful pictures.

I'm not sure what the salamander sign is all about, a mystery I have to solve...

Yes, the ducks are constantly crossing the road over there, there's many ponds <3

Thanks for the share. Honest question, were you the one who kicked down that STOP sign? :P It's ok I won't tell anyone if you did, we all need a punching bag from time to time lol. I liked that lizard one the best. Cheers!

HAHA don't tell anyone my secret okay? I have super human strength, it's all very embarrassing...since I am a nice lady and all...

I witnessed it and I will tell the court hahahaha

Those are really good shots! I'm glad to see it's warming up a little.

Thank you, just a couple more months to get through...is it cold where you live?

It's almost always summer from where I am. Except for the months of July to September when we get a Lot of rains.

I show your #walkwithme posts to my kids because they love looking at pictures with snow.

A nice walk around Hacketts Cove, the best photo without a doubt is the picture you took on the top floor where you can see a beautiful lake and something funny that I liked the first time I see that the chicken is named after him, It does not sound bad.

Thanks very much for appreciating the beauty of our neighbourhood @joelgonz1982 :) I'm glad you think our chickens have funny names!

if it's something fun, I named my chicken now I call it donatello
if your neighborhood is very beautiful, how do you want in my country

Waw....
Seeing the face of this chicken is very handsome and mighty, and ready to protect his generation...

She is a very good hen <3

She must be good and protect

Yes I would like to take a walk with you in your neck of the woods. Enjoyed your post and the pictures. We have signs like that here 2

DQmRPZZ7LxJUAByp3PcQwJhdqhAscLyMmLdbv23T9Vsc3B8.jpeg

Peter Parker is ready for style who wants to photograph it, it is very amazing, whether he is often trained to be stylish...

11c almost a heatwave over there i would think.
What a great office Brendan has must have been take your wife to work day. Great idea though as the walk home was beautiful in the sun apart of course for the need to clear up the chicken shit. Naughty Clucker 😎

beautiful wild place! i can just smell how clean and fresh that air is! living in south spain is not quite like that! missing northern air, Canada calling...thank you for your post :-)

And here my husband is always talking about Spain, and how it is his Grandmother's favourite place in the world...he longs to go there and experience Siesta :)

Ahh the grass is always greener on the other side! ..well a bit green here during winter! yep plenty of siesta around here for those with out very active (need little sleeps) babies!

The lizard sign and The Punisher got to me :D I love The Punishers face hes got going on lol I like the walkwithme blogs. They are very fun ^_^

Thank you <3 <3 The Punisher is a girl too by the way :) haha!!

omg so sorry! hahaha love it

Birds seem to find you everywhere. Chickens, chickens, and now these cute ducks! Great walk and wonderful photos. Thank you for mentioning my work. I am very proud of it. And thank you for this wonderful idea of a joint photo walks.

I look forward to seeing your next works @anna-mi! Thank you for contributing to the #walkwithme tag!

The view from your friends' future house is amazing! Naughty Punisher! LOL Your yard must get lots of fertilizer from all the chickens...

You got that right, I have a feeling our front yard garden will be better than ever this year!!

a joyful journey filled with breathtaking scenery .. 😄😄😄😄

beautiful scenery. What kind of scenery is in town or in the village?

Thanks dear @lyndsaybowes

I will one day take you to the little town. I don't leave the country very often :) I am a "home-body"...meaning I like to stay at home all the time.

amazing scenery can make the eyes become entertained.

I just noticed your last tag, chickenbitchez. I just had to see if others used that tag too. No, but maybe after awhile. If I had any chickens I might use that tag. It made me laugh.

wow. what a ride! nice post to say the least. that cute fowl should stop shitting around in your room! seems you also a homsteader. thanks for sharing this

It's amazing to know that there is such black gold chicken because we don't have it in our country. lol

I really like the chicken hahaha i am pretty sure you could do a great reality show just with the life's of Mr. Pendock , John Cena and the ladies... :D

I sure love their show around here, we call it "Chicken TV" I'd be lost without them...and so bored :)

owesome photography medam..

why most duck marks are off the marks of children?

Love your chickens and rooster.

excellent photography,,,thanks for the new blog. that is great and nice photography.
