July 21, 2018. Western Head, Nova Scotia. The Comforts of Home.

Life is comfortable here in Nova Scotia. This morning before we came down for breakfast, Mary and Clif came by bring a big bottle of water plus several bags for our bin for left over kitchen scraps. Our well was cleaned and needs 24 hours to settle before drinking the water so she brought a large container so we would not run out. Gill brought us a big container yesterday but Mary did not want us to run out. At 12, Gill brought by a loaf of dark break from the open market in town. We chatted for an hour. In mid afternoon, Walt came by bringing new keys. Walt and Mary open the house before we arrive so we do not carry a key. When I could not find a key for the guest house before Dave and Irene arrived he knew he needed to get me a set of keys. So we visited a bit. At 6:00 Heather called to say she had just baked pies and she wondered if we would like one, as she had made my favorite, Strawberry rhubarb. Of course I said yes, so over she came. They purchased our cottage. They have been busy working, putting in new flooring and putting in a closet. They are so pleased to have bought it and are still excited. This morning we awoke to fog and the fog horn. The fog got worse. Then it rained. By mid afternoon the sun came out but soon the fog came in again. For an hour we had strong winds, followed by more sun. Today was the perfect motto of "If you do not like the weather right now, just wit. It will change.". And Irene and Dave had gone shopping this afternoon and came home with fresh corn which we ate for supper and was delicious. Irene and I served food purchased at the grocery store: chicken pot pie for us ands shepherds pie for them. Our life here is comfortable and Dave and Irene are comfortable guests. Ken has been busily doing things that make our life easier. Soon we will have all our comforts of our Mississippi home along with our good friends. Pretty special.
