Remembrance Day

For the first time since I have been here there was a beautiful remembrance day.  Cold, still, sunny.  The main street of Woody Point was blocked with people, maybe 100, maybe 200.   Kids, old folks, the Newfoundland Rangers, four Mounties in formal red serge, the Cadet marching band.   Wreaths were laid, prayers said, proud veterans brushing tears from their eyes.

Most people wandered into the Legion afterwards for a treat, but Rhya and I went home. It was too magnificent to go in.  Frost hung onto the ground, turning the grass to a gorgeous blue tipped serre.   The bay was soo still, cloudes reflected on its surface.  Outside and walking, crisp dry air finaly. 

The sun rises to the south now, not topping Deans Head until 8:05 a.m. now.   Today, we lost the sun in the yard by 1:35 p.m.  ... not quiet long enough on a sunny day in my opinion.
