I turned around a couple of times and it was gone. A short vacation to the Niagara region and the Lake Erie shore with Ian. (Check out the palm trees -- who would have thought it? Palm trees on Lake Erie. I was excited! Of course when I asked the waitress how long they'd been there and she said "Since May", I returned to reality. They were to be shipped back to their winter home at the nursery that very week. )
Still, they added an element of romance to the shore.
We spent a day visiting wineries in the Niagara region, and doing the tourist thing in Niagara Falls and pretty little Niagara on the Lake. I didn't realize there was so much history there. We will go back.
We'll come back to this town too.

It rained a lot over the four days we were away, but we saw sunshine as well and lots of scenery. It's quite different in the Lake Erie part of Ontario. Old tobacco farms are giving way to fields of peppers and squash -- the tobacco sheds lie abandonned. And dotting the land for many miles are giant windmills, part of the Lake Erie Wind Farm system.
We spent our third and final night in Stratford. We arrived around six p.m. in a torrential downpour, so saved our sightseeing till the next morning. Another lovely little town. You could almost believe you were in England!
We'll come back to this town too.
Tomorrow: the next October adventure.
