Happy Canada Day as we go wandering

 

Wishing all of my Canadian Pals a happy Canada Day.

After brekkie we hopped in the car and went roaming to see our great land.  We saw lots of farmers out doing hay today. The scent of new mown hay and milkweed was just heady.

We had a wonderful sound track to our roadtrip. CBC radio was broadcasting the Massey Hall concert in tribute to the late Gordon Lightfoot. The Who's Who of Canadian popular music were singing his songs. If you are interested in viewing the concert, it is available on YouTube.

 

We visited the sweet village of Eganville. It was a busy place today.  Wandering on we landed on the historical Opeongo Colonization Road. Our first stop was to visit M. family who were have a family yard sale at his aunt's house. His brother was there from up the road, and parents from up the highway so it was a nice gathering.  From there we popped over the road to the Sebastapol township museum where his sister in law was holding open house. It was very interesting! There are an awful lot of documents on file for anyone interested in area families. Upstairs were so many household goods and photos. We really enjoyed that.

We wandered on, enjoying the views from the highlands of Bonnechere.  As we pointed the little red SUV toward home we made a stop at the roadside stand belonging to the Mennonite farmers. A big bag of carrots and a huge cauliflower came home with us. 

We had friends up from the city on Saturday, so we had a big bonfire and did some fireworks. Several neighbours were popping theirs off last night. We really enjoy fireworks. Fortunately they don't bother the Princess Pup at all. She actually watched them shoot up with great interest. 

Before we headed out this morning I wandered up the path and collected the SD card from the Trail Camera. Junior Bear has been back for a visit.
