This made our little Yorkie, 12-year-old Yankee, who considers himself our guard dog, mighty uneasy. He looked balefully at the windows, quietly crying to himself, darting behind us when he saw the bank of snow standing there when we opened the front door to let him out for a much-needed bathroom break.
We know that many places were harder hit than where we are in Nova Scotia. Rhode Island, was hammered with some 38 inches—three-plus feet of snow.

We were able to spiritually return to Immaculate Conception Church in Westerly, Rhode Island on Sunday by joining their magnificent livestream Holy Mass!
God’s bountiful Blessings on you, Fr. Capoverdi!
Mercifully, we never lost our power, even though Barrington, only a 30-minute drive away, lost most of theirs—and were gratefully able to keep in touch with faraway friends, whom we know were worried about us and praying—Bruce, Jimmy, Susan and Kelly among others—while trying to catch up online with the fate of thousands of Canadians stranded in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
