Well school starts up again tomorrow and I for one and looking forward to it. I took the weekend to laze around and actually managed to fit in some exploring on the side. I decided to head south for a drive and dragged along the camera in case I came across something interesting. This approach worked quite well actually and I ended up in a little town about an hour and a half south of Wolfville. 
Bridgetown is also on the Bay of Fundy and looks very much the quintessential fishing port - it faces west toward the coast of New Brunswick. There are small homes all along the bay and lobster traps stacked in heaps on the wharves. I stopped at the end of the road to take some pictures of the boats that have been brought up on the shore for the winter.
I didn't stay for too long though as the wind was so cuttingly cold I couldn't stay outside. The car was much warmer lol. Even Mr. Finnigan was none too keen on sniffling around for doggy scents. If you have anydoubt as to just how cold that wind is, the one picture shows the cliffs along the bay and you can see the sea ice and rain that has frozen right to the face of the cliffs. Even though it's only zero degrees the windy off the bay is surprisingly cold.
After that we can back along the coast and saw some ice fishers out on a small lake and some tobogganers on a big hill just outside of Kentville. There were several families and groups out enjoying the day and lots of smiles as people of all sizes raced down the hill to a bumpy stop. One young boy was particularly cute as his toque had fallen down past his eyes to rest on his nose. Ha, he couldn't see a thing but had the biggest smile as he blasted to a stop at the bottom.
It was nice that the weather had been clear enough, for long enough that I was able to get out and do some exploring. It's hard when you're pretty much stuck to town because the snow and rain have made the roads impassable. With school starting tomorrow it was a treat to get some pics and see something new.
It will likely be a busy week for me but I'll be glad for it. The holiday was a bit long and I would prefer to be busy with things rather than sitting around and waiting. Ha, I'll probably be complaining in a week that I'm too busy!
Hope you had a great day and an even better week. Bye for now....
