Weekend at Louis Head, July 20-22

Friday morning Bob and I cycled around Lunenburg picking up a few things for my mom. Also to the PO to pick up a package from Chris.... My vitamins and a shirt that Bob had left behind. Thanks Chris.

Inside my sister's cottage

My mom doesn't have a car, but manages quite well with the help of friends and taxi's. While we are out,  she at 86 is off to "Curves" for some exercise!!





Bob and I pack up and leave for Dayspring to my sister's house arriving just after two. Wasn't long before we were in car and enroute to cottage in Louis Head, about an hour and half away. Peter and Vicki's cottage is right on the beach, a beautiful spot, paradise. The sound of the ocean waves and smell of salt air ever constant. We were able to see the endangered piping plover and her four recently hatched chicks scurry around. Pete and Vicki did some renno's to the cottage this summer and were busy with some finishing work. Bob spent time painting to help out and I did a bit too. The "green headed" fly was out in full force and you would spend much time swatting at this annoying large type of horse fly. Enjoyed the beach, reading, relaxing and staring out at the ocean.

Returned to Dayspring last night an now getting ready to head off to Ponhook Lake to spend a few days with Bob's dad.

Looking from loft to the beach

Will leave on Wed and continue along the # 3 and # 103 to Shelburne, then Yarmouth and Friday to a neat b and B in Little Brook that serves a great lobster omlette for breakfast. Will hit Digby on Sat to catch ferry back to Saint John.

Paradise, Louis Head
