Even
after 31 years in Canada which included 28 in Ontario, this Scotsman is still
having his annual issues with snow and crazy low temperatures during the month
of March. Currently where I came from in the West of Scotland, the daffodils
and spring flowers are out providing colour everywhere, the grass is as green as
it always is and the temperatures I am sure are definitely above freezing. I am
not at all sure how long it will take for me to feel that snow and ice in March is perfectly normal, perhaps never.
On
the upside, I have been assured by a few of the locals that this year has been
much colder than normal, which is certainly the case when compared to my first two winters in the South Shore.
For
me, it is best to just get out and embrace the beauty that has come with this
month’s unique winter conditions in this wonderful location.
Below
are a few pictures from this weekend’s visits to Hirtle Beach, Rissers Beach
and the LaHave Islands.
On
the way back today from the Islands, we stopped at the LaHave Bakery (see ~ https://southshoretidewatch.blogspot.com/2017/01/the-bakery.html)
for a very satisfying coffee and amazing homemade cookies. It was nice to sit
there and overhear three lobster fishermen talk about their fishing techniques
and experiences, another little piece of the perfect culture that is the South Shore.
