Not Your Typical Nova Scotia Winter

Brew me a cup for a winter's night.

For the wind howls loud and the furies fight;

Spice it with love and stir it with care,

And I'll toast our bright eyes,

my sweetheart fair.~Minna Thomas Antrim

As predicted by the hornets in an earlier post, this winter in Nova Scotia has been one with little snow. Here's a photo I took just this afternoon of the lake, a thin layer of ice on it's surface. Who knows what the rest of winter will bring? But for now I'll enjoy this lack of snow.

Moonlight On Black Duck Lake

“How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank. Here will we sit, and let the sounds of music Creep in our ears; soft stillness, and the night Become the touches of sweet harmony.” ~ Wiliam Shakespeare

 

Mesmerising, spellbinding--This was the view from my bedroom window last month during the full moon.
