Spotted almost a month ago just outside of Lunenburg. Don't worry, these brake burns aren't going anywhere:

Orange Crush

Thanks to my dad for inspiring me to change this post's title, he's quite the wordsmith, after all..

Congrats to Pam Birdsall and the 3 other NDP candidates who SWEPT the South Shore in last night's provincial election!!!!


I have waited all my life to see the NDP win in Lun. West, let alone win provincially!

I think it's incredible that the voters of the South Shore not only elected 4 NDP candidates, but that 3 of those 4 MLA's are women!

Is this the start of a Nova Scotian renaissance? One can only hope...

For a little back story on the "sink the boat man" poster, check out this Chronicle Herald article.



Again, congrats to all NDP candidates and a big thank you for all the voters who took a leap of faith and elected Atlantic Canada's FIRST NDP government!!!

First!

No, not like those annoying "first!" threads on public forums....first cut of hay!

This farmer in Northwest cut this hay earlier this weekend. From what I've seen around the area, this is the only early hay cutting action. Perfect drying weather, good timing!
