June is Half Gone

We don't live a very exciting life here in Nova Scotia.  The only thing that I can think to write about is the second crop of dandelions that are again colouring the lawns yellow.

Yesterday was a busy day at the Temple.  A group of new missionaries arrived in the Halifax mission and they all came to the Temple in the morning.  One of the missionaries is a Thompson from Mountainview (one of Oakley Thompson's great grandsons).  The missionaries who have finished their mission and are heading home will attend the temple tonight.

The Dartmouth Pipe Band has started their summer practices in the outdoors.  This year they are practicing at the Dartmouth Common over near the harbour close to the McDonald Bridge.  Yesterday Bob drove the boys to their practice and took a few pictures while he was there.

It was a good evening for sailboats.

 An icebreaker was in the harbour.
