What a difference a day makes. Yesterday the wind was strong all day with the waves whipping the water up even close to the shore. But no sunshine and no large waves for surfing. The surfers were out early in the morning to try their luck but by ten they were gone. The rain started just as we were out to hot tub. It rained most of the night. Between the wind and the rain it made me pleased to be staying at home. This house has lots of dormers so when the wind is strong the wind is noisy as the wind whips around the windows. It is a great sound, especially when one is snug in bed.
Today the wind is still strong so walking is difficult and the waves are turbulent making for an angry sea. Certainly not a day to sit out on the deck. Two chairs went marching down the stairs off the deck during the night. Ken did sit outside for a bit this afternoon but he was forced to wear a jacket. I had trouble getting the fish food into the water before the wind blew it away. The fish come quickly to the top now every time I feed them. Clever fish. This weekend we should see heavy seas as the storm comes north. The expectation is that we will not see the storm directly but we will have big waves and big winds and perhaps more rain. Here in Nova Scotia every day brings a different weather pattern. Never a dull moment.
