I keep thinking my neighbours must be thinking the same of me every time I go out to take pics of our maple. I'm obsessed.

I am this old now. I went out to dinner in socks and sandals and ordered meatloaf and was excited when they told me I could try their pickle buffet(!?) I like this for me.

A photo zoomed in on a buffet table covered with taut black fabric, featuring what might appear to be a chocolate fountain, but instead of chocolate pouring from each layer of the fountain, it is pickle juice, and the pickle juice is lit up to really shine in green. The buffet contains pickled beets, green beans, pepperocini peppers, gerkins, bread and butter pickles.

A few years ago, I stopped for lunch on this little island on the headpond and a little frog joined me. Today, I had lunch and a little fawn popped out of woods. It came back a bit later and swam across the river.

I asked the Tourism NB chatbot to plan a trip to Miramichi for a weekend. I could be wrong, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a kayak on the Miramichi River in March. Not sure if Miramichi River Boat Tours is running in March. Seems unlikely.
