Yesterday the hills were alive with happy berry pickers of all shapes, sizes, ages. People went off on shanks pony, ridding, driving, half the town and their dogs must have been out.
Great day for it too, got up to mid teens with a warming westish wind.
But; with no heating on in the house you could tell when the temperature outside dropped overnight. Woke to frost covered roofs, temperature about -1.5 at house.
That will sweeten up the red berries, or as some say, partridge berries.
Speaking of weather. There is a lot been written on the global warming effects on the North of late, mostly quotes of scientists pro and con who/what is responsible for same. This one is from an on the ground first hand expert.
It also collaborates what older people around here have been saying for some years, that is they can’t predict the weather as accurately any more by looking at the cloud patterns.
The community Willie was relocated from is one of several re located to other communities in the 1950’s, most in Labrador, leaving Nain the northern most community on the Labrador Coast.
Seeing as the Provincial election is being called today I can’t resist this. Let’s not forget the non partisan feeding at the trough folks.
On the same lines, there is an overwhelming negative reaction from labradorians on the Provinces Energy plan released last week. CBC talk back line is running hot, and that is an anomaly.
Now we sit back and see if this translates into a back lash resistance to the traditional parties.
