We were headed to Mississippi Mills

It was Sunday, April 17th.  I dedicate this post to hubby who drives, allowing me to take photos! Our day trips take our minds off our Buster, too.

We took a drive, hopefully heading to Mississippi Mills for bird seed, but I led us astray. I mistakenly plugged Carleton Place into Gillian GPS! Then, we tried to avoid highway #7, since drivers in baseball caps and pick-up trucks are hellbent to break the land speed record. It wasn't a very straight line, but a typical drive that we enjoy. Temple's Sugar Bush restaurant was packed!



It was a beautiful spring day. There were lots of people out and about: on motorcycles, working in yards, on a jetski on the river, horseback riding, or just hanging out.


What do you think he is doing?!


In Almonte, we walked Riverwalk bridge and went over to the pub. It was PACKED with people. The first time we've eaten outdoors this year. It was glorious.Thankfully, they had enough servers, and were prepared for the crowds!


The snowmobile trail, former lytrain tracks, are closed.



Burn ban is on, with the quick snow melt and dry leaves and grasses.

I eagerly anticipate the Spring!

Snow is melting
Sun is warming
Trails are closing
Buds are nosing

It's not as if, after 55 Spring seasons I don't expect it, but isn't is beautiful? The air smells rich and full of anticipation. The sun warms our faces. The critters have a little bit of a springier step!

Daisy is climbing to new heights! She was full of beans, playing in the water dripping, melting,  and running in the ditches.
