Home is …

If home is a place name, then we returned yesterday afternoon to Lethbridge … Newfoundland. Didn’t have the same vibe as hometown.

The house with grass growing on its roof was home to an outport fisherman’s family at one time. The hare we encountered on the Chance Cove coastal walk calls the forest home. And the moose — introduced to the island over a century ago, call everywhere home. Even highways at night.

Fortunately, early this morning the two moose we saw skedaddled into the bush as we approached them on a rainy, curvy stretch of road. For now, our home has four wheels, a pull out couch for a bed, a two burner propane stove, and a temperamental refrigerator. But lotsa love within these glass and steel walls.Weiterlesen
