Out to lunch in Almonte

Toronto had 60 mm of rain, and cars were trapped in water in an on ramp! Tropical Storm Barry brought southern Ontario some rain.

Flooding EB ramp to Islington. Cars are into the water. @Toronto_Fire here @StormhunterTWN @weathernetwork when the rain stops????

We went off to lunch in Almonte, after JB did an extra shift dispatching Meals on Wheels. It was cloudy at home, but he said it'd be good patio weather in Almonte. The clouds were due to the remnants of Tropical Storm Barry. I noticed these carvings on the way to Almonte.


As we travel by all these fields you can see the huge piles of stones the pioneers gathered to make their fields useable. They used stone boats, back in the day, pulled by horses.


I love the colour!


As ever, there are people who are important and late for something.


It's awfully funny to catch up to them at the next light.
All these banners are such a distraction, don't you think?


There were quite a few seniors about, enjoying the amazing day.


Lunch on the patio. THIS is summer!

We thought we'd done well. However, this couple were cycling from Victoria and were on their way to Ottawa. They live in Fernie, B.C. What a trip.


Everyone was enjoying the patio!




We took a walk along the boardwalk.


On the way home, heavier clouds had moved in.We had about 8 mm rain while we were gone. We have a heat warning in this part of Canada. The rain was welcomed.
