Beautiful Hot Summer Days!

Lisa, Annika and I enjoying abit of a rest after riding our bikes.  (We are at the local country store, called Theresa and Heather's where they sell everything from yarns, to dog food, to guitars to ice cream cones--a fun place in which to poke around).

The weather has been unusually warm in Nova Scotia.  Everybody is saying so...even the water temperature in the ocean is warmer than usual. (22 degrees Celsius today).  The past several days surf has been fantastic due to the hurricanes south and east of us. (In this picture you can see Lisa riding the waves).  But this weekend there is a little more concern  about those storms, because Earl is threatening to affect us on the eastern coast of Nosco.  We are watching...and praying.

Pedestrians

Nova Scotians are known for being so very polite to people wishing to cross the street.  More so than anywhere we have ever lived before.  A few days ago when Lisa, Annika and I were in Dartmouth we wondered why the traffic was stopped when we saw ten large white ducks crossing from a park to the other side of the road,  ever so slowly.

Today as I was riding my bike along highway 207 in West Chezzatcook I saw this sign and took a picture.  Makes me smile.

Whatever is lovely...

Somedays it is easier to think about lovely things than other days...today my heart and mind are so full of good things.  Here are a few of "my favourite things" from today... ability to walk, harvesting and eating fresh vegetables from my garden, fun times with my beautiful children and grandchild, observing Annika's eagerness to learn, observing her development and growth each day, walking along the beach at sunset, feeling the gentle ocean breezes, watching the surf.  I thank God!
