Gananoque and Ring of Fire

Hubby saw this advert, and wanted to go. Why not? Basically, the musical consists of songs written for, with, or that fit in with Johnny Cash's life story (1932 – 2003). It was pretty sanitized, it didn't get into the heavy stuff about his character, and drug abuse. All of the actor/musicians played several instruments, as well a having fine voices. It was an enjoyable musical event.

 It was a perfect day, Wed., Sept. 11th. We've had some cool overnight temperatures, but this was to be a lovely, warm day.

We parked up top, but had to go down below to the Springer Theatre. You can get a ride! Seriously, we were at home amongst the primarily gray-haired crowd.


The back deck view was wonderful. Sailboats were out and about!



You can take a boat from Kingston over to the theatre!


Off we went home.


We wondered what happens at a Turkey Fair...


Lots of blooms, but also a beautiful apple orchard, and the ubiquitous farms.


JB promised me dinner at Rideau Ferry. It was a bit chilly when the sun went in. Poor man. But it was his idea! He is usually cold.


There was a young boy in his footy jammies. It was cute.

Beware, there be pirates!


Then, some silly dude standing up fishing, sans life jacket on a very windy day.

Somedays I have a navigation fail. We didn't mean to travel on the 401, but follow the water. sigh.


I like spotting major renovations. Ones we're not paying for!


I was mother's helper on an island when I was in gr. 12. The family owned an number of islands near Parry Sound. We would arrange to meet on one beach and swim with the little kids and picnic. At this stage in my life, I don't think I could do that!


Another closed business: boat tours. Soon, soon, soon!


A swan! Just one.


We saw the hydro crew and didn't think anything of it. Once we arrived for lunch at this inn, we realised they were closed due to the hydro work!

Barn swallows have new place to live along Highway 401

Kristyn Richardson, a stewardship biologist with Bird Studies Canada, said the population of these birds has been on the decline in Ontario.

I'm sure this is habitat for nesting barn swallows.


I cannot tell you how heart-warming it is to see all this open water. Such a deep blue.
