It rained. It rained a lot. Forecast said it was going to rain until about noon. We got up, I delayed my walk until better weather and we headed into town to provision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday, just as I was completing my walk, a young mother approached pushing a double side by side stroller. One of those big wheel stroller jobbers that says \u201cI do activities\u201d. The lone baby in the under-occupied stroller was dressed in a fuzzy brown one piece suit. Note that I was not wearing glasses. In an attempt to be humorous I said \u201cyou have a bear in there\u201d to the mother. After about 15 seconds of processing she called back \u201ca bear, where?\u201d. Now I had some explaining to do. I paused my walk and explained that I was referring the fact that the baby was dressed like a bear. What did I learn? Probably not best to use the word \u201cbear\u201d near a mother walking her baby in the woods. What didn\u2019t I learn? That I shouldn\u2019t talk to strangers. I\u2019ll keep doing that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our provisioning today had us stop at Frenchys first. Every Frenchys is different but wonderful. Mrs Milddogs scoured the store whilst Amy and I chilled in the parking lot. I did feel a bit off having not started the day with the morning walk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next stop was the grocery store for food provisions. Then the Liquor Barn for some Coors Light for consuming. Last stop Maccas for a quick lunch and back to the beach we go, in the rain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately the rain stopped just after lunch and I went for my walk along the highway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like this sign because of the person\u2019s name. McCrossin. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Upon return, we did some Apple sampling from the trees on the property. Then I played a long game of \u201cwhich one of these keys opens the garage?\u201d. Fortunately I found the right ones in the large clump of miscellaneous keys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amy is visiting with her cousin Fergus. Fergus is huge. Like his head is almost the size of Amy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sun has come out intermittently. We enjoyed the outdoors when we could. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that this little triangle is the only spot in Canada where you can see three provinces at once? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No lobster were consumed in the making of this blog. But stay tuned for tomorrow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
