Every Month there is a Full Moon, some months have two, and that’s known as a Blue Moon! Every Full Moon also has a name, and this January the Full Moon which has just past is known as the Wolf Moon! This is the natural beauty as we saw it when The Wolf Moon Passed Over Briden Farm.
With a Mew Year, comes new hopes an catspirations!
Ok, so that was a typo! But what a wonderful typo it was!
So, it’s true, the only thing that changed is the date! But, what if we decide to embrace this, and every, sunrise with expectation and inspiration? Why the World would be a different place!
Really, when it comes down to it, it’s really up to You and Me!
Let’s decide to make 2021 the Nest Year Ever!
Yes, another typo!
So we already know we’ll make mistakes, sometimes happy mistakes, sometimes mistakes that need correction!
Yet, we need to embrace them! Embrace it all! For after all… The Sun Will,Come Up,Tomorrow! Let’s Feel The Fear and Do it Anyway! It’s ok to feel the fear, but we don need to dwell on it, nor do we need to choose it!
Choose Fun, not Fear! When things get tough, and the fear becomes to much, come visit us at Briden Farm and choose to have fun, enjoying time with the animals, walking the woodlands, and enjoying your time here at Briden Farm, where the Tea is always on, and the Coffee is not far behind!
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!
Franklin Brook flows through the back end of Briden Farm and into the West Branch Bear River on Parker Road.
A word should be included here about West Branch Bear River, which according to Ray’s Corner, and the post, “A Good Place to Grow Up OR A River Runs Through It – Nova Scotia Version”, is also shown on some modern maps as Franklin River. Probably because it flows from the headwaters of Franklin Lake. The River leaves Franklin Lake and flows through Lake Jolly, and the Tobeatic, before meeting Franklin Brook just above Parker Road; and continuing downstream to flow under River Road at the corner of Briden Farm before flowing into the main branch of Bear River at the Head of The Tide. Upstream of the Village of Bear River.
Franklin Brook flows through the back end of Briden Farm providing a nice walk through bottom lands and hardwoods which lay between Parker Road and Bear River’s Gulch Power Station. Road access to Franklin Brook is possible, but challenging, from the bridge on Parker Road it is possible but there is no actual parking and the section upstream of the bridge can be tricky to maneuver.
In the future we hope to develop walking tours of Briden Farm, including the bottomlands along Franklin Brook.
