August 16, 2014. Western Head, N.S. Home At Last.

Coming home is always a pleasure, even though we have been gone only two weeks. And then we snuck home twice to use the Internet and laundry the first week. Today, when we arrived home the sea was wild with white caps as far out as you can see. It was a beautiful sight. Every time we arrive home the scenery catches us unawares. But it is chilly compared to the temperature at the cottage. And of course, the wind is blowing hard. The deck on the water side of the house we added when we renovated and put on an addition. Everyone told us it was a waste of money. "At Western Head you can not sit outside looking at the ocean. The wind is too strong and the temperature too low," they all said. The builder, the consultant at the lumber yard, the former owners and the Realtors all said the same thing. We ignored the advice and built the deck, which we use all the time. But on a day like today, you definitely could not sit on the deck. Global warming has been a good thing for us at Western Head.
