July 19, 2015. Western Head, N.S. Rain.

Today was the first time the weather was more like Nova Scotia.   We enjoyed our rainy overcast day.   The rains began in the middle of the night and it has rained off and on all the rest of the day.  The day was perfect for reading and staying home.  And of course for taking a nap.   The gardeners in the group were grateful for the rain.  Since we have arrived,  the sun has been shining almost every day, with just a small amount of rain.  Gardeners here are not used to watering their gardens.  People also begin to worry about their wells.  A sustained rain was welcomed by everyone.  Tomorrow will also be alternately rain and clouds.

Dave and Irene have arranged for the caterers to bring dinner for the six of us every evening, except for Saturday and Sunday.   It has been a treat not to think about dinner.  But this weekend we have eaten in style.  Saturday dinner was a tenderloin of beef and tonight was scallops served over rice.  Wonderful meals.  I have enjoyed every bite!!  And Doreen and Irene then clean the kitchen as the caterers just deliver the food along with instructions for heating and serving.   We are all enjoying the mystery meals  that arrive each night and we give gold stars to Dave and Irene for providing us such a luxury.

Now after two days of rain we will be ready for the sunshine.  I wonder if we will get it?
