This is the first real winter they have had this year, here in Nova Scotia. From inside the warmth of our cosy home, it looks lovely. The snow comes down parallel to the ground, while the rooster tails on the waves blow high into the air, making for a spectacular sight. But venturing out is another thing entirely. The wind is blowing hard so in order to walk, you are forced to bend right over into the wind in order to make any progress at all. Ken says he hates cold weather but he has been outside in the weather for the last two hours, puttering around the yard and the guest house. Fortunately, he has a warm jacket, with a hood that protects his ears.
The snow is supposed to continue all night, so we might end up with a foot of snow on the ground. So far this winter we have not had the driveway plowed at all, but Ken thinks we should move the truck into the garage, so the snow plow can clear out the drive. "Surely not", said I.
It is really a treat to see the Atlantic Ocean in the winter. The water is dark and the waves are big, even though the water temperature is warmer than the air, which is why the surfers come out at this time of year. It is quite a sight watching the surfers from the comfort of our living room. They have not appeared yet, but soon when the strong wind stops, out they will come. Amazing to watch.
