August 31, 2016. Western Head, Nova Scotia. September.

September in Nova Scotia if a hidden gem.  Many folks leave at the end of August but they often miss the best weather.   Today, the air was chilly so I knew the autumn weather will soon be here but the sun shines more in September than any month of the year.  We always look forward to September.  This year, all our Gull Bay Group will be here through most of the month which is unusual.  Last year we left on Labor Day  but this year we will be here until October 4 so we will enjoy the start of the Fall season.

We are hoping that the seas will rise.  If hurricanes come north into the North Atlantic we often get big seas even if we have no storms coming ashore.   This summer has been especially warm and sunny so perhaps we will have more rain then normal in September.  We certainly need rain, something I have never said before in Nova Scotia.    We have needed neither raincoat nor boots all summer.   Ken and I are looking forward to spending September in Nova Scotia.  We think that here  is the best month of the year.
