At the Cottage .   .  .

Last week was a great time to escape to the Cottage. . . 

lakeside cottage -  Eugenia, Grey County

Last Friday's fierce storm caused many households in Hamilton to go without hydro, numerous trees were knocked down, flooded streets flooded basements, etc.

Tree clean-up this week of broken tree branches on frayed Live Wire on Jean & John Rodda's Empress Av property

We didn't experience the extreme heat felt in the City.  

Instead, 10 of us indulged in the quiet calm of Lake Eugenia. . .

The clean, calm waters of Lake Eugenia made it perfect for a 3 hr canoe trip

We made good use of the 2 canoes!

My cousin Lily & I took this graffiti shot in Boston, May 2013.

Monsanto controls most of the world's sale of corn and soybean seed.  

This graffiti is closeby the Barking Crab (totally recommend!)
