It was merely spitting rain this morning after breakfast, so we four decided to drive along the shore to Bridgewater. You drive right along the ocean until the LaHave River, when you drive right along the shore to Bridgewater. Half way up we take the little ferry to the other side. Today would be the first drive along this familiar road and we wanted to check on all our favorite places.
After a half an hours drive, the rains came again but we ignored it and persevered. We first stopped in at the studio of Hugh Crosby. I bought two small pieces of pottery. The Cafe at Broad Cove was open for lunch but too early for us. A bit further along The Joy of Antiques was open for business in it's new location. It is always nice to see our old friends each year. The new Potter had survived his second winter and seemed cheerful; and the LaHave Bakery had too many people to bother to stay for lunch. All our favorite places were still open for business which pleased us all.
We could not get out of the truck on the ferry because of the heavy rain. Lunch at The Two Chef's Restaurant was excellent. On the way home we stopped at the Village Nursery. I have never seen so many blossoms in their greenhouses. The constant rain has been causing the nursery folks fits with the mould, where it is getting at the blossoms. I am so glad I do not run a Nursery.
The drive is nicer when the sun shines but it was a lovely drive even today.

Thinking of you and Ken. We have two nesting bird families near our front door. On the "keystone" wood above the kitchen window are barn swallows - dive right at you during the day, but at night sit carefully on their nest and watch you. In the dogwood tree right off the porch a robin is nesting. We are eager to see the babies! And ... hope the swallows eat lots of mosquitoes! (After all the rain we are having -- will probably have plenty of those!)
