August 29, 2019. Western Head, Nova Scotia. The Storm.

Mother Nature so far has played a trick on its. All week a storm was predicated to come to the South Shore this afternoon. My phone told me so this morning. First a storm at 4:00 followed by rain all afternoon and through the night, finally stopping at dawn. I went out to lunch with Henry and Chris and we were pleased to be home before he storm. I have been waiting all afternoon. We need rain. Several folks have dry wells, which is not good. I felt like I was in Texas with everyone praying for rain. An all night rain would be perfect. The weather man was predicting heavy rain this evening, which they thought would cAuse flash flooding. But they have been wrong so far. At Western Head we have fog. The fog horn is working hard but no storm nor any rain, which is disappointing. We want the rain but we especially love the storms. The sea is wild and the waves crash into the shore. It is exciting especially when the lightning hits over the ocean. Wendy and Clausen have never been her during a big storm. They missed Hurricane Bill when Mary was swept over the causeway. But the tropical storm Dorian may come far enough north next week. But for today, we have a big bust. So far, no storm and no rain. What a bummer.
