Yesterday I had to work. It had snowed again in the night but the snow was very light, so the couple of centimeters that fell was easily moved. Because we had taken the car out for groceries the day before I was confident the car could leave the property today. When I left it was still snowing. That's the third day of snow! We didn't get this amount all at once last year, and the texture of this snow is so soft. It's like icing sugar. Because of the huge amount of snow we have everywhere looks so pretty, so I took my camera with me to work.
The roads were pretty good, we are lucky that the roads are kept so clear. we even get our road plowed and we are the only ones living on it! The side roads were less clear but they sand rather than salt those roads because the houses have dug wells close to the roads and the salt may affect the water supply. But I wasn't in any hurry, and I had a full day ahead of me.
After I had done my first patient the sun started to shine. We haven't seen that for a few days! Now everything looked spectacular and I was glad I had my camera. I passed a field of horses eating hay, and it looked so rustic, but I had nowhere to stop and I had a tractor bearing down on me, so that photograph is in my memory. But I did get some shots of the Bangor saw mill & the Meteghan river which looked good. I wanted to get some of the big churches on the French Coast but by the time I had got that far up the road it was getting later and the sun was tired of shining to much. Another day.
