Back to Lockeport

We've been off on a 2 week visit to Ottawa and our kids and grandkids. All well and beautiful and/or handsome as expected.

We came back to Lockeport in our usual 16 hour-straight drive with 2 kittens and our son Tim in the car. It was a singularly uneventful trip but we arrived to a hay field that used (2 weeks ago) to be our yard - it has apparently rained the entire time we were away. At least the well won't run dry and there won't likely be any forest fires in the near future.

Tonight is the start of the Canada Day Week celebrations - a variety show at the high school - always a lot of fun. Other events coming up are a cake walk, a couple of Lockeport Rocks concerts (including the Hupman Brothers on June 30th), the greased pole, the strawberry shortcake, the parades, dances, fireworks, craft fair, yard sales, poker walk, and lots of food (this is after all rural Nova Scotia where a day without pie is a travesty).

While we were gone, the Look-Off neared completion. Lester has installed the light, the benches are in, the bottom is closed off, and Spencer's has begun the landscaping.
