August 31, 2010. Western Head, N.S. Heat.

It is hot here by the shore. This is the first time we have not felt a cooling breeze, here in Western Head. Today was hot. Ken and I ate dinner outside by the pond, in the shade, the only place comfortable enough to sit. The house was warm and the deck by the sea was in full sun, so we retreated to sitting in the shade beside the pond and enjoyed the warm breeze. It was 89 degrees F. here by the shore. It certainly was a first for us.

Risser's Beach is a beautiful long beach along with a boardwalk right beside the tidal waters. It makes a circle loop for walking. It is also a camp ground and picnic area. Today was probably not a good day to walk for an hour in the middle of the day, but we wore hats and took water so we did fine. Not much wild-life moving at mid-day. It is five or six years since we last walked at Risser's Beach. Lots of people on vacation. The camp grounds were full to over-flowing with the RVs cheek by jowl to each other. It makes us appreciate our privacy and space here by the shore.

For lunch we ate ice cream at Port Medway. Great lunch!!
