September 5, 2014. Western Head, N.S. September.

The month of September is often the best month, at least in Nova Scotia. This afternoon I walked along the path from my house, past the Ely's house, then on to the Mitchell's, where I found Mary cleaning her sail boat. The sky was blue and the temperature was 70, which meant it was perfect for walking. It also meant that drinking our tea sitting on their deck in the sun was pleasant. Although we were wearing T shirts, we were both comfortable. Wendy and Clausen are returning on Sunday. They have heard us telling about September being the best month of the year, so this year they are going to discover it themselves. The evenings are cooler so in the middle of the night we close the windows but the sun shines every day and we have little fog. The sunsets are more beautiful too as the sun sets further south. The colors of the leaves change in October so we are still surrounded by green leaves. The flowering shrubs and flowers are still bright too. Today. Mary's outdoor pots and window boxes are still bright and fresh. In September, it is definitely a lovely time to be living in Nova Scotia.
