Feeling a bit Soggy

  If there is one thing people are talking and complaining about around here, it's the weather. The reason is because it's raining. It has been raining for days and days and days..We are all starting to get a bit soggy.

 Yesterday though, is when it became obvious that most people had reached the point where enough was enough. They were sick of the rain. Yesterday was a holiday here in Canada. Its called Canada day. It is the day when we celebrate our country's birthday , birthday 146 in fact.

 In our community here in Riverport it means a lazy day enjoying friends, drinks, and good food , followed up by a fantastic fireworks show put on by the fire dept. Because of the rain, most communities cancelled their fire work display. However in Riverport we very rarely let a little dampness , dampen our plans although it was up in the air for a while. By six o'clock the sun made a feeble attempt to break through the clouds and the rain stopped. That was all the prompting we needed.
By seven o'clock we we already stopping traffic and starting to set up the fire works on our bridge.

 If you are coming to Riverport, there are only three ways in the bridge which connects us to the outside world , or you can come in through Rose Bay from Lunenburg  or you can come through the north side.
By far the most popular way is the bridge. this resulted in a traffic congestion to rival any city but in the end a fabulous show was enjoyed by all.

If you like you can watch the last few minutes of our fireworks here . Mother nature gave us a break, she kept us dry until the fireworks were over, as soon as the last light faded from the sky she was back to the business of making us very wet.. perfect timing.

Of course all of us who were still outside at this point were a wee bit unhappy, we were trying to unclog the madness of traffic that being the only community in 50 miles with a firework show on the go brings. But it was all worked out.

  How ever today it is still raining, I am feeling a bit soggy, it could be worse, ask Alberta, where it has also been raining and flooding. Tomorrow it will be sunny, if it is raining instead we will make the best of it. For today I think I will just curl up with a book and pretend it is sunny.
