Cranes & Chutes

This week we drove south of Massey to see the annual Sandhill Crane migration. Hundreds were feeding and squawking en masse on the various fields.

September Splendour

I've stated a gazillion times that September is my favourite month in the Great White North. What's not to love about warm daytime temperatures, cool breezy evenings, and NO bugs? The abundant rainfall this summer, however, enabled a few more bugs than normal to survive this long into the season. They're still buzzing around, but otherwise so far September rocks.

Bootlegger's Bay

It was a dull and dreary day here in northern Ontario, so John and I drove south to Hwy. 17 and then headed west toward Algoma Mills. Our destination? Bootlegger's Bay on Lake Huron.

Peach Pie Perfect

John's been kayaking his little heart out the past couple of weeks...

Duchesnay Falls & Colonel Hoagie's Diner

During our stay in North Bay last weekend we hiked the trail around Duchesnay Falls. It was a glorious Sunday morning and judging by the number of other people out on the trail, everyone was on the same page.

Housesitting in North Bay, Ontario

John and I had an opportunity to spend the weekend in North Bay, Ontario, and while we've driven through on a number of occasions we've never taken the time to stop and check out the sites.

Favourite Pancake Recipe

A friend recently asked if I'd gotten any blueberries yet, and other than those picked by Emily I realized I would need to act fast before the season ended. So, Friday morning John and I went blueberry picking on Rooster Rock.
