what is it like in Nova Scotia?

A friend asks. Yes you can come along with me and Phebe some time. The librarian just handed me my new Western Counties Regional library card We have been here 8days now. Fog and rain two days, sunshine blue skies five days,one day half sun half fog. The town of Lockeport has shrunk to 700 souls. On Canada day, there were 6,000 on town(as the locals say) The mayor lives across the street a slim bottocelli angel who sez he's 36 but looks barely 24. He works with his dad at the garage next door. The dad is the man in the know in town. A very friendly place. We are two minutes from a beautiful beach that we can see from our house. Even better sight lines once we put in the dormers and a deck. Record heat on the south shore but it is always cooler in Lockeport. We go to sleep and wake up to the sounds of the sea. I came to the library about 30 minutes ago. Phebe was reclining in the backyard reading Updike. She finished Bodily Harm(Atwood) in a day. In the morning she rode bike and walked on the beach. We bought two Kayaks. She sets sail tomorrow. I am waiting for my kneees to get better. She has been in the ocean, but it is brisk.
