July 1, 2013. Western Head, N.S. Rain and Fog.

It should not really matter.   Since last Wednesday when we went to the cottage,  the weather out our front window has been only rain and fog.   Often it rained so hard you could not go outside even wearing a rain coat.  And you could not see the Ocean at all.  This is the longest sustained bad weather since we moved here in 1999.  Yesterday, both Gill and Mary gardened in the spitting rain.

The ground is soaked and without the sun our garden vegetables are not growing.   They are probably rotting in the ground.  It is very unusual weather indeed.   However, our routine is to ignore the weather and just proceed with our lives.   When we hear of the temperatures in the southwest, we remind ourselves that we live here because it is not 100 degrees F. in Liverpool, so we are content.

But although it does not really matter that the fog and rain appears to never end, we want the sun shining across the water so we can see Gill's house.   We haven't seen her house from our deck for days.   Ken reports that the sun will NOT come out tomorrow.   But we continue to hope, even though it does not really matter!!
