Lola Brown

I live in Nova Scotia with my five children and Husband on a farm by the ocean. I share a bit of my life here mostly in the form of film photographs. I've been a birth doula for over a decade and I pretend to be a decent gardener. Please feel free to contact me by email. nearer.still@gmail.com http://vsco.co/lolabrown/

Just jammin’ for the Facebook Nova Scotia kitchen party group.

I’m a very extroverted person. I remember being so mentally ill in my bed wishing every person I loved could have a sleepover with me every night. It’s so laughable now but I just feel so good when I am around people. I was twenty three when Anna Kate was born, so young and over confident in my choices and path. But I had people. I always find people to love and who understand and love me. @kiko_72 and my friend Lisa and then @ranae.janelle they filled me up as I raised my first babies. When we moved here I found more people. Good people. @jo_edgett @fireside4ever @marissa.froese and they have walked me through life. Sometimes life gets so busy and hard and blinding and I’m unable to get to them or reach out but I knew I could. Today I panicked a little. Because I can’t go to anyone. I can’t leave or knock on anyone’s door and I just have to be ok with being alone. I wanna sleep in Makiko’s couch while she feeds my kids food. I wanna just reach out and hug Ranae and I want to visit my friends here. I have everything I need. Food and heat and health. I’m fine. I’m just complaining. But holy moly I miss people. And we are only getting started. It’s always implied that extroverts sorta suck the life force out of the people we are with. Absorbing energy. But I always wanted to try to send it out too. Now it’s just Janet the cow and me. I tried hugging myself today.

We are thankful for where we live right now. Lots of space to get outside and lots to keep us busy on the farm. #stayhome #northmountainhermits

Lewis on film

When she was two she would introduce herself as “booba Jean”. She is still Booboo to her family and probably will be forever. She’s loyal and helpful and beautiful and sometimes prickly. Happy twelfth Birthday my girl!

I highly recommend having at least a few of your children 8-10 years apart. #film #portra400
