One of the homesteaders houses with an obligatory yarn wheel.
This garden is looking great.
Soon to become a sweater or dinner?
This settler was on his way to the working flour mill.
Some from the stack, what’s for lunch?
I don’t care what anyone says there is no substitute for air hung laundry.
Beautiful Chapel
These guys had fresh chicken and goose eggs ready for lunch.
These photo’s were taken this summer at the Acadian Village in Bertrand, New Brunswick. The village is located on the Acadian Peninsula at the mouth of the Caraquet River. The village is an historical reconstruction that portrays the way of life of Acadians in the 1700’s. Everything in the village is handmade using only the tools available to Acadians during this time. The food is fresh and the smell of fresh bread always in the air.
As an Acadian I feel recharged and nostalgic every time I enter the village. I can’t help but to envy the simplistic way of life the Acadians made for themselves; this of course before we were deported … but we wont get into that today.
