Guides

We visited the Oil Museum of Canada today. It was a very enjoyable, educational outing to a little-known gem a very short ride from home. Our guides on a carriage ride around the site were two locals and their magnificent Belgians.

“Ok!”

I have trained our foster dog Lucy to wait to take a treat until I say “Ok!” She waited very nicely for the magic word to take this raspberry.

Big sky

One thing I love about living in flat land country is how big the sky is. I have heard that Montana styles itself as big sky country. While Montana is undoubtedly a beautiful part of the world, I think that southwest Ontario is also big sky country.

Waits
