Perhaps it is the long winter. Perhaps it is the lack of a large population. Or perhaps it is because talented people prefer to live in beautiful surroundings, but where we live on Western Head, outside of Liverpool, Nova Scotia, resides very clever people people who make beautiful objects. All over the Maritime provinces can be found musicians, artists and writers in much larger numbers than be found in any other places we have lived.
Today, Bruce brought his carvings to our coffee and chocolate event. His work is beautiful, and is especially impressive when sitting around the dining table where we can manipulate his lovely objects. He lives just behind Gill and has been for years but it wash't until last September that I discovered his work. Now my dining table is graced by one of his birds and several pieces will return with me to become gifts in Texas and Mississippi. But what is always astonishing to me is that this perfectly ordinary person can produce such wonderful work. Of course, everyone is special in their own way but I seem to be surrounded by extraordinary people. And I appreciate every one of them.
