Tempestas Sine More Furit

In the past twelve months we’ve had a relatively mild winter, a very wet spring, a hot dry summer, a gorgeous autumn, despite a wild hurricane, and now a balmy, blustery November has greeted us.  Who knows what the weather has in store for us. But we are loving every diverse moment of it here in Nova Scotia - so far.

This morning we awoke to a mist over the river and town. It was not heavy enough to rate the “fog” label. Yesterday's heavy rain has abated. Today, however, we’ve felt the intensity of the wind.The waves lash the shore. There is a new moon and the tides are extreme right now. Many birds struggle in the wind, while others soar freely. We’ve enjoyed the unusual warmth in the air today. The smell of wet leaves on the ground, and the flicker of the few left on the tree branches invigorate the senses. And just now the sun has appeared and the blue sky is welcomed. Life is good. Very good.
