September 11, 2012. Western Head, NS. The Last Fire.

The evening was perfect for one last fire down by the shore.  We got lucky.  Ken wanted to burn the last of our papers and trash.  This morning, the wind was too strong but by late afternoon all elements agrees to a go for the fire.

The tide was very high and the surf was still strong, so sitting down by the water on the rocks made it seem like you were almost in the water.  Normally we sit on the back of the grass on a deck but all the chairs had been stored so we are forced to sit on the rocks.   With our backs to the sea facing the fire, the sound of the sea was overpowering.  Not having chairs turned out to be a good thing.

We did not linger long.  Once the job was done we came indoors.  Even though the evening was beautiful, it had also becoming chilly.  The setting was beautiful and we enjoyed our last fire of 2012 at Western Head.
