Spring/Summer/Fall 2023

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY EVERYONE INCLUDING THOSE WITH PETS!

Day 25 – It had stopped raining this morning when we got up – 40 degrees & very windy. We watched some of the people camping near us pack up and leave; the weekend is ending. This included a near miss when campers decided to drive their travel trailer between us and the camper parked next to us, rather than using the road provided (which did not travel between any of the parked vehicles). Duh! We sat inside and watched while others handled it by yelling “watch out” and “whoa” and “stop” at each other. A day in the park!

It may not be raining, but it’s a pretty nasty day out. It’s after lunch now, 48 degrees, and the weather isn’t getting any better. We’ll probably not be going out for a drive.

A SLOW DAY.

Day 24 – Rainy & windy last night, 47 degrees at 8 a.m. this morning. It was a stay-at-home day with the rain and wind continuing plus thunderstorms in the afternoon. Java is afraid of thunder, so she wasn’t happy, but the rest of us relaxed. More people are coming into the campground every day. Most of them were getting set up in their seasonal “homes”. It’s keeping the owner very busy – quite a full time job, but he seems to like what he does. We’re hoping for better weather tomorrow for another drive. We leave here on Monday, stay one night in a campground near the ferry terminal in Sydney, NS, and thenTuesday we leave for Newfoundland.

PICTOU & EAGLES.

Day 23 – It was 41 degrees this morning, sunny and a bit windy. I forgot to mention yesterday that we were able to refill our propane tanks right here at the Park – very convenient. We also went to the office to pay for our stay along with the propane charges. We’re scheduled to be here a week total. The owner only charged us for 4 nights! He said the other 3 nights were no charge; he likes to have people return (this is our third stay here) and he loves having people come in early in the season. Well, alright then!

A LITTLE SIGHTSEEING.

Day 22 – This morning when we got up there was very little wind and it was sunny, 38 degrees. A good day for a drive, YAAA! We were up and around, getting things done so we could leave, rather than sitting around and relaxing. We definitely got some accusing stares from the girls. We told them that we weren’t leaving in the RV, that they could stay home. They still looked anxious.

A LITTLE WARMER TODAY.

Day 21 – 37 degrees this morning and still windy, but the sun was out. It’s supposed to warm up tomorrow and Friday, then it rains. We really want to drive around the area; it’s very nice here. Today we just went into Pictou to run some errands.

BRRR!

Day 20 – The low last night was 34 degrees with light rain and plenty of wind gusts. If there was snow last night, we didn’t see it and there wasn’t snow on the ground this morning. At 8 a.m. it was very windy with plenty of clouds and a little sun. We’ll probably stay in today. The girls are sleeping hard this morning.

Later – It was blustery and cold today with a high of only 44 degrees. We caught up on some stuff, read our books, and took naps with the cats. The tide came and went. So did 3 immature Bald Eagles plus one adult. Once we won’t freeze to death or blow away, we’ll get some outdoor pictures.

NEW BRUNSWICK TO NOVA SCOTIA.

TRAVEL DAY

From: All Done Camping RV Park, Newtown, NB.

To: Harbour Light Campground, Braeshore (near Pictou), Nova Scotia (NS).

Day 19 – At 7 a.m. it was 44 degrees and cloudy. We departed the campground at 10:10 a.m. It was 57 degrees, partly cloudy & breezy. We enjoyed the peace and quiet at All Done Camping and look forward to visiting again in October on our way back to Maine. Maybe we’ll even leave the RV Park then!
