Another episode of 3-4 lovely days in Nova Scotia. Today, October 9, is the third day with bright sun, bluish sky and an average temperature of 17 degrees C. On October 7 we took a ride to Port Hawksbury to fetch wheel bearings for the woods trailer; a very near and accessible outing and, forgetting that practical and familiar aspect, the scenery is equal to that at the holiday spots I have been. I remember what the poet said, "the lesser sun At this time to the Goat is run To fetch new lust and give it you, Enjoy your summer all.'
Yesterday was a flexible agenda day to allow for lolling in the lesser sun. Harvesting consisted of pulling out some carrots and leeks. The main gardener did bury the the tomatoes and the plants affected by late blight brought in by Hurricane Arthur. In the evening we watched the movie "Lucy" and at intermission Sarah served upside down Pear cake.
