~ 62 ~ Walk With Me After the Wind Storm in Nova Scotia, Canada (Warning: Extremely Undramatic Photos!)

lyndsaybowes (71) in walkwithme • 7 years ago

The Storm Has Ended...

Most of Nova Scotia has their power back, and the main internet provider fixed their problem earlier today as well. I've read a few Nova Scotian Steemians' accounts on their day yesterday, and I look forward to reading more about everyones Christmas Holidays with no power and internet. Keep the stories coming!

_{Warning: This #walkwithme comes with a lot of wood. Not for the faint of heart.}

We were lucky to not lose any trees. The ground was littered with branches though. Here are some undramatic photos of the storm damage we suffered. Prepare to be unmoved...

Lost A Few Sunflowers Too...Bent though, Never Broken.

A lot of bugs live in those stalks overwinter I've read.

Ritual Afternoon Chicken Cuddle Puddle

Every day they congregate here for about an hour late in the afternoon, it's too cute...

Here they'll lay and preen and soak up life, together.

Back Inside

Yes, that is Mr. Pendock in the house. This happens from time to time, I'll hear the door shut and next thing I know there's @EddieBowes in the kitchen with one of the hens or roosters. Sometimes he plays a game where he hides in the boot room with the chicken and makes us guess what one he has in there lmao. It's a fun game actually!

The Christmas music with the log in the fireplace sure has evolved...check it out on youtube if you're not too sick of these tunes by now.

Thank you for coming on another #WalkWithMe, I hope you enjoyed today's shots! I'd like to go on a walk where you live too, so if you get out there for one, take a few pics, and post about your walk using the tag "walkwithme". I'll check the tag regularly to upvote and give encouragement. Let's earn Steem by getting fresh air and fitness together!

Check out the latest walks by fellow Steemians who got out there in the world, and took us with them!

Cool. Excellent them. I really like the them. You are a photography expert. Thanks for your sharing. Amazing.

tremendospercy (65) · 7 years ago

It still looks pretty cold out there babe.
Good to hear you have all your services back after the storm.
I'm getting close to the edge with the Christmas tunes now however I have one more day/night to endure them before we go home to plan our New Years Eve party.
Should be a blast if I can get rid of the stinking cold that has me in its grip.

lyndsaybowes (71) · 7 years ago

oooh noooo not a cold !! :'( :'( Probably too late, but when I first start to get sick I start taking 7000 mg of vitamin C a day until the symptoms go away. It usually works unless the cold is too far gone...

tremendospercy (65) · 7 years ago

I normally do the same with a 1000mg fizzy VitC drink, but I left them at home 😡
I'm driving home today though although I think it's too far gone now 😔

lyndsaybowes (71) · 7 years ago

So sorry to hear that my friend, swift healing!

It's a good news that storm has ended. And the city is safe. Nature can attack anytime but good talk is this that there was not too much damage in the city...., I think you were inspecting of the city after the storm. Is your house near to ocean? Ocean is looking amazing. What a scene, there are some huts outside the ocean! You had captured all the images very beautifully.

Have a good day!

lyndsaybowes (71) · 7 years ago

There was a lot of damage throughout the city, yet we got away without any. We count our blessings indeed! The ocean is right in our backyard, even frozen, it is still very beautiful to be beside <3

donnadavisart (66) · 7 years ago

That is too bad about the power. We are SO cold here on MA coast. It is only 10 F today! We usually are around 40! The bay is beginning to freeze. When the ocean freezes we know it is cold outside. My chickens haven't been out of their new house and i have a heat lamp plugged in for them so they are all toasty. When I opened the chicken door they peeped out and then thought, "No thanks, We'll stay in here where it is nice and toasty". I hope it warms soon so I can try my 'milk jug' winter planting in January!

lyndsaybowes (71) · 7 years ago

Oooh I'm so glad to hear your feathered family is all tucked in and cozy....we are having a colder than normal December...I really hope that means we'll have a warmer than usual January or February, that would be nice! I hope you get thawed enough to try your experiment!!

donnadavisart (66) · 7 years ago

Me too! I might be starting some indoor seedlings soon, I usually wait until mid January, but this cold has be so wishing on Spring that I think I need the jump start now. And I already have a batch of my quails eggs in the incubator now as well too. Come on and Think SPring! ;)

lyndsaybowes (71) · 7 years ago

Oooh YAY for more baby Quail!!!! Right on :) :) :)

Thankfully it was not too bad. No trees uprooted like a hurricane going through. It looks like some ice climbed on shore. Were they blown by the wind, or because of low tide? I am glad you guys are safe. <3

lyndsaybowes (71) · 7 years ago

Most likely the ice was left there by the tide, though we could imagine it was the wind for dramatic effect!

madlenfox (65) · 7 years ago

The hurricane caused a lot of waste. But it's nice that no one was hurt. I see that Your pretty boy boldly enters the house. :) Our rooster - he's the king of the yard and our hens love to share with him their chicken secrets :) @lyndsaybowes, thank you for Your walk. I wish You a good day.

lyndsaybowes (71) · 7 years ago

Ooooh your little Roo is soooo cute!!! I love him!! Is he bantam (small)? He looks too sweet!!

amymya (60) · 7 years ago

Rip sticks. Rip logs. Rip stalks. We lost a lot the other day. Seriously though my big ol mans beard tree. Im going to do a post on his moss in his honor. Its great for coughs, you know.

lyndsaybowes (71) · 7 years ago

Big Ol Mans Beard tree was the one that fell over? Brendan told me you guys had a tree fallen on your driveway...

cecicastor (60) · 7 years ago

It looks too cold for me! The puddle Barometer says it all! I'm with Mr. Pendock, I'd be inside too. Sorry no more Christmas tunes for me. They start in July here and they're still playing them. It does get a little old...

lyndsaybowes (71) · 7 years ago

Omg...In JULY!!???

$0.00

cecicastor (60) · 7 years ago

Carols and tinny canned Christmas music start about the end of July. Then comes all the cheap plastic Christmas tchotchkes. Trees come out in the middle of September. October we are in full swing Christmas mode. Christmas is big business here. Commercialism has gone too far, but that's just my humble opinion.

mother2chicks (61) · 7 years ago

No wasted time when the power is out. New ways to be creative and have fun. Maybe we all not personally but on a small town basis need to consider different ways to upgrade the infrastructure. Generators, solar, etc.🐓🐓

lyndsaybowes (71) · 7 years ago

Yes, may we all, through Steem and other cryptos, be able to afford to free ourselves by building tiny homes, sustainable homes, and go fully clean energy!

davedickeyyall (73) · 7 years ago

That's definitely a abundance of wood.. sounds like a impromptu bonfire is in order...

Love the pic of the kid fishing off the pier...

Seems surprising to let the chicken into the house.. don't you know they're fowl... 😂

lyndsaybowes (71) · 7 years ago

Hhaaa that's awesome, that kid is some kind of little statue, it's pretty creepy actually, I'll get over there one day and get a close-up photo for you Dave, you'll get the heeby jeebies for sure!!

Nice pun btw...totally groan worthy.

davedickeyyall (73) · 7 years ago

Haha that's funny it's a statue.. I was thinking that little bastard was hard core out there fishing in that weather...

Glad you liked the punny lol

marionbowes (57) · 7 years ago

ha ha

marionbowes (57) · 7 years ago

looks like you remained intact. no trees fell on you or the house and chickens are doing what they do so well. ocean looks good and it looks chilly, telling by the puddle. awesome photos

lyndsaybowes (71) · 7 years ago

Yeah, the chickens are off grid, so they didn't mind the outage lmao!

$0.00

marionbowes (57) · 7 years ago

ha too true....I even like the sound of that off grid. Used to have a really strange concept of that meant. Not now...not since I lived through two horrible storms in Ontario with no power for days one in the winter and one in the summer with all the rain. Also remember 5 days of no power in the summer when the whole city shut down. Off grid is the way to go

fungusmonk (54) · 7 years ago

Mr. Pendock looks very distinguished! I'm really enjoying your photographic eye lately.

lyndsaybowes (71) · 7 years ago

Thank you very much, I will certainly tell Mr. Pendock what you said!

shaungerow (62) · 7 years ago

Looks like everyone out east is getting pounded with lousy weather just like we are here in Edmonton. It’s about -35 with the wind chill right now!

bluelightbandit (61) · 7 years ago

I'm glad you got your power back on and all is good! I read about other peeps up there that it was pretty bad so it looks like yunz got pretty lucky all in all. My walk today was cold as shit!

Yes, we sure are counting our blessings!

What is that a deck that goes drops into the water? I think of the old movies where the men makes a man walk the plank from a pirate ship.
