Living at the shore has many charms, not the least is watching storms come across the water. A bank of dark fog appears a long way out at sea. In addition you can hear the thunder and see the lightning but a long way away. Bit by bit, the rain comes, followed by the thunder and lightning surrounding the house. It is a beautiful sight to watch the storm appear in the distance and then get closer while I am snug as a bug in the comfort of my own home.
The storms usually last a short time and do not raise anxiety. They just move onto the land and disappear.
Yesterday at lunch, Irene thought a truck had come into the yard but it was really a storm out at sea. We watched it as it moved onshore. Soon the lightning was all around us. It is much more dramatic out at sea where you can watch the lightning go from the clouds to the water. What a spectacle. Soon the storm was over and we four returned to our meal, sitting at the dining table. It is another of the charms of living by the shore in Nova Scotia.
