August 30, 2017. Western Head, Nova Scotia. A fierce Day.

Finally, we are getting lots of rain.  Tropical Storm Irma is off the coast of Nova Scotia, bringing rain and more rain.  All afternoon and this evening I needed to wear a rain coat.  And it is chilly.  Unfortunately, the surf was not up but tomorrow the surfers are hoping and praying for high waves.  We will see tomorrow morning whether or not the surfers will be out in our bay.

When we arrived this evening to the home of Mary and Walt for dinner, Walt had the gas fireplace on to keep the damp and cool away.  The heat felt great and reminded us that autumn is just around the corner.  We ate a Canadian Thanksgiving dinner in August.  Mary is a good cook and tonight she prepared a typical turkey dinner with all the trimmings.    Perfect dinner for a cold damp evening.  And as usual, the conversation was lively.  Larry and Jan were there too.  Some how or another, we got onto the topic of tax assessments.  The day itself is fierce but tonight all is well.  l am inside in my warm bedroom and the heavy rain is outside, and we are high above the water so flooding will not be an issue.   Poor Houston.
