Gorgeous Ontario Day

 

On Friday we ventured to another little town nearby called Coldwater. The weather was a perfect 70 degrees and low humidity. Coupled with abundant recent rains, the flowers, trees and crops are pretty happy.

 

Below is the mill in the town on the Coldwater River and the building is still functioning long after its 1830 start; housing a café, museum, and real mill products.

 

And here is a typical stone bungalow with beautiful flowers and landscaping ...

... including this old iron bed now transformed into a "bed of tulips" and other flowers.

The flower boxes and hanging baskets throughout town were a photo bonanza; the same goes for my traveling companion!

After a good walk through the little town we stopped at this café called Ms. Ems for a bite.

Which ended up being a BLT sandwich on some really good grain bread accompanied by chicken noodle soup and a bowl of veggie rich chili; all washed down with a hot cup of Earl Grey tea.

For the next two weeks is forecast to remain in the 70-50 degree range with light showers from time to time ... what a refreshing summer in the north can be; time to get out and bike and hike.
