The patch started out like this a couple weekends ago:



Now it's grown to a patch this size (spotted this past weekend):

What's on This Weekend?

Oooh, tough call this weekend, lots going on!

I'd suggest hitting the Daffodil Tea in Petite Riviere AND the baked bean supper in Maitland! If want to go for a drive, the roast beef supper in Canaan is usually great.

Still more Chester skatepark shots

If you like what you see, check out my other skate park shots...





Check out these other skate park shots taken by my friends...

Mmmmm....puddin'.

Err, make that sausage...this sign has come and gone quickly, sounds like Dept. of Health has been cracking down on backwoods purveyors of sausage, puddin', etc...what gives!? I accept the risks when I buy meat processed in someone's kitchen. It's like I have to tell the government I'm all grown up, I can handle it..

For those that are curious, the ocean's temperature (May 5) was 6 Celsius

Chester skate park: more shots

If you like what you see, check out my other skate park shots...



The light and shadows were sweet that night...until the po-po showed up and cracked down on the skaters for not wearing helmets...oh well, live and learn, I guess...

I wish someone could explain the 'civic gangs' in this county...I'm assuming VOC stands for "Village of Chester".

Other local groups include "the LBC", aka Lunenburg County (?) and "the TOB" aka Town of Bridgewater.

Really? That's the best you could do? C'mon kids, thug it up, yo! (0_o)
