We love how the beautiful Danielle and Christian embraced the little rain that fell during the recent wedding ceremony at The Doctor’s House – with grace and humour, naturally! Of course, we always have alternatives available for inclement weather, so they had an equally nice indoor option to run to when the rains started to fall. What a gorgeous day. To see all the pictures from their gorgeous wedding, please see here, and enjoy your Sunday!
Sheila Brushed
If you’re in Newfoundland, you probably spent last weekend bemoaning Sheila’s Brush. If you’re not from Newfoundland, you’re probably wondering, ‘what’s Shelia’s Brush’?
Colloquially, Sheila’s Brush is a final winter storm, late in the season, sometimes even in what we’d like to consider Spring – which is what we got this past weekend. I just did a little research and learned that historically, Sheila was considered the wife of St. Patrick, and a storm was expected around St. Paddy’s Day. Lots of Newfoundlanders wouldn’t consider it safely ‘summer’ – an important distinction when going out to sea – until after a final such storm.
Regardless, this picture was was taken by local talent and friend, Albert Legge (see other of Albert’s shots here and here) this past Sunday, a day after our Sheila’s Brush. Look closely and you can see our house (the bigger yellow building) and our 3 little cottages closeby. Hard to be mad at Sheila when she leaves such vistas in her wake!
