July 7, 2013. Western Head, N.S. Another Outing.

The day was hot.   90 degrees even at the shore.  We four decided on ice cream at Port Medway.   The small general store is our favorite ice cream place in Nova Scotia.   The ice cream is good,  the portions are big,  and the price is low.   Our routine never changes.  We get ice cream at the store,  drive down to lighthouse park by the shore, and finally eat our ice cream sitting in the shade of the gazebo.   It is very pleasant, especially when Dave buys the ice cream.

We drove home along the shore, stopping at Cosby Nursery to see Ivan's Sculpture Garden.   It was a hot day to walk into the woods to view the sculpture but it was worth it.   Every winter, Ivan makes more large pieces for his back garden.  They are spectacular.    He places his pieces on rocks in the woods, all well separated from each other.  There must be twenty five sculptures.   The most interesting aspect of Ivan's work is that the pieces are displayed behind the Nursery he owns and runs but the Sculpture Garden is not advertised so almost no one sees it.   I love the place but we will return another day when it is not so hot.   Ivan is a talented artist but no one seems to know in Liverpool.

The afternoon was delightful but it was a good thing we had air conditioning in the truck.  It was a hot day.
