To Warm To Sleep

Two Degrees! That’s the temperature difference between Bear River, Nova Scotia and Costa Rica at Midnight on Christmas Night in Costa Rica! Which is 2am here at Briden Farm in Bear River, Nova Scotia. Which means we’ve let the Wood stove go out, and it’s still to hot to sleep! Maybe instead of a Wood Stove we should’ve got an air conditioner! Lol. 

Now, not wanting to tempt the fates, I have to say this is unseasonably warm! Normally we’d have snow and freezing temperatures at this time of year here at Briden Farm. So, even though it may be to warm to sleep, we’re enjoying these warm temperatures while we can!

For there we’re definitely strange lights in the night sky!

Brian is he one who, twelve years ago, had the Hobbits Hollow gift shop in Chester Colbeck’s old Barber Shop across from the Rebecca Hall, and Sissiboo Coffee Roaster, and become known as the…
