the weather

Oh the weather outside is frightful but the fire is so delightful....blah blah.
Okay settle down everyone, especially you in the back row, we are fine, we are not stuck in the snow and our little jeep is getting us around nicely. But with a nod to the weather gods, because they could turn their nasty vindictive eye to us on a whim, we are respectful of the vagaries of the weather in these parts.
The so called 'lake effect' blizzards whirl around and wipe out different towns willy nilly.
I hear the folks in Sarnia, Petrolia and London haven't seen daylight for 48 hours, the storm trapped some hapless unprepared souls and even the military can't get them out.
Today B and I toured the village of Eden Mills, and dropped into the Art Gallery. We were mightily impressed and astonished at the age of the building. Two foot wide planks on the floors and stone construction. Some of the mixed media sculpture is absolutely stunning.
Then off to Rockwood another charming little hamlet just oozing cute and I loaded up on local maple sugar fudge. Yes Ashley I have a box of it coming home for Christmas.
We motored on past the pastoral Mennonite dairy farms and into Guelph and a hot Thai soup for lunch.
D&D were in Hamilton today, Donna at the dentist and David administering exams to the poor students at Hamilton Uni.
Our business party is tomorrow and we will fight the roads to get there and then home to Calgary on Thursday.
