Prince Edward Island August 14, 2026

After a night of rain and wind, this morning felt quite refreshing. 

The tide was at its lowest so I got to wander far and wide.  


I was able to go beyond where I previously wandered to.

Last night’s weather left lots of treasures behind.



During that one and a half hour walk, this is the beach glass I collected. 
I know I could have easily found more. 
This will be enough to make something some day.

Prince Edward Island August 13, 2026


This morning instead of having my coffee then heading off, I headed off with my coffee in hand. This was the absolute best time to be at the beach if you want to stroll along it for a good long distance. The sun just came up, there was a very slight breeze, the temperature was perfect, low humidity, it was me and the beach.

The sun just came up! I walked for just short of an hour. Each time I stroll here I look for beach glass.  Once again, I found two pieces just like I did yesterday and the day before. I headed back to our home away from home to fuel up.  By now it had warmed up immensely. 


We took care of some business then headed back to the beach, not to stroll this time but to settle down, relax and play Beach Bingo. It became hot and every little thing seemed like an effort. We did not last long. 


Soon we were gathering our gear and leaving the beach behind.  
Cool cottage air was calling out!

We had not left the area since late Monday morning. Time came to do that. We loaded into the vehicle and went for a short drive. Borden is tiny but has loads to offer. For my friend it was a Cow’s ice cream treat. The shops called out to us.  

Then very early evening we visited Borden once again to have dinner.  


My friend bought local potatoes.

High tide was due and I was due for another beach visit. 
It needed to be a quick one to beat the rain.

my favourite piece of beach glass so far

Prince Edward Island August 12, 2026


Shortly after 6:00am this morning, I started the day off with a stroll to the beach.  I arrived to see two Bald Eagles perched by each other. They are probably a couple. I immediately thought of Jackie and Shadow.  As I approached, they soared off together.  Then the coast was clear…..

…..to move further along.

The sun had come up and the golden hour was in full swing.


After breakfast, we gathered our beach gear, strolled along the trail to a perfect spot to settle in for awhile.  The tide was high, the air and water were warm so it did not tasked long to fully immerse myself in the Northumberland straight.

After another amazing day, came another amazing sunset!

NOTE: Upon my return to Calgary, I will respond to all your wonderful comments!

A slow day! An easy day! A relaxing day! A perfect day!
“On Island time”
a time to cherish

Good Morning!


Coffee time view!  It’s the Volendam from Holland America on its way to Charlottetown. It left Quebec City late Sunday afternoon and will arrive in Charlottetown Harbour this morning.

Charlottetown is around that point and east a little bit.

After breakfast I went for a walk to the beach to see it with the tide in.




Lots to love when you allow yourself to be “on Island time”!

I feel at home!

Mid afternoon we let the child within us come out to play!



This type of hard work was filled with pleasure!


The tide was almost fully out.  
That allowed us to tour around to numerous sandbars.

My interpretation of a Baywatch Babe!

all in a day’s work 

With rain in the forecast right at sunset time, 
I skipped out a bit early to capture a Good Night sight!

Many wonderful memories were made today!
