Where are we today ?
Yep its a good day again today, we having a bit of morning fog then the morning sun hits our patio making things really nice and warm. Suzie had Molly and Buddy out for a run then they came right back to our house. They enjoy being petted and maybe even a treat too.

I drive about the village a bit this morning before stopping by the garage for the sunday morning gossip with the guys. Plattsville is really growing! New Fire Hall is being built, the Arena and Curling club were expanded last year, and the subdivisions are building huge houses!

Back home I took a walk across the road down the trail to the river, not too far, but so nice almost right in town. The trail is along the top of a berm to prevent flooding the low lying areas in town.

| nice area by the Nith River |

Got a call about noon Suzie's Mom, Dad, brother and sister inlaw coming to Plattsville for lunch. Local restaurant is very busy (after church), so we met them, chatted for a while and eventually had a very late light breakfast. Was a nice get together.
Now just back to "camp awesome" and found a sunny spot out of the wind and really got to enjoy reading our books outside once again. Really a pretty nice day, so we need long pants, but had to take my sweater off it was too hot.
Just need a light meal tonight so grilled up a couple salmon burgers and a few tater slices to fill the holes in our bellies.

| nice to fire up our Weber Q again |

simple, easy and quick,

Another fun day in Ontario, spring time and really the weather was not too bad. We found sunshine, and a spot out of the wind, not beach weather, but not freezing either.
So glad you could stop by and join us, hope you had lottsa sunshine too.

I've noticed the same thing here in the little Town where I am - HUGE houses and subdivisions being built. I think people are being forced to move farther and farther out of Toronto in order to be able to afford a house.
ReplyDeleteThat is very true, then they buy more cars and more gas to commute.
DeleteDoesn't everything go better with sunshine!
ReplyDeleteIt sure does !
DeleteSunshine here too, but a bit of a cool breeze coming off the Lake. Still only light jacket weather, so no complaints.
ReplyDeleteThats right just find a sunny spot out of the wind and it beautiful.
DeleteNot a fan of the huge houses - they can have them! What a nice day for you - rain here today but sunshine like that on the way. Nice river!
ReplyDeleteWith all the houses I owned never had a Big house, could never figure out why people need them.
DeleteCurling is something I've heard about and seen a couple of times, but not in the States. Do you make your own salmon pattys? My mom used to make them with eggs, crushed saltines, onions and ???.... now I just buy them already made up at the grocery... just wondering how you do it?
ReplyDeleteI have made them years ago, but the same as you just buy them now, still pretty good.
DeleteI read somewhere yesterday: "big people build big houses, small people build small houses." It might have something to do with status symbol where you are at in life.
ReplyDeleteI don't like these monotone suburbs either. They look awful to me. Way too close together.
Lucky you, it is still cold and grey here.
I agree, large houses , small lot and too close together.
DeleteLooks like a fine place for a walk. I really love small towns and went to Google Earth to check out Plattsville. We live outside a town that appears to be of similar size. Hopefully it will warm up soon for you and I'd gladly send some of ours as it was a too-warm-for-me 85* here yesterday - I'm a 75* kind of guy.
ReplyDeleteWe will take the heat no problem.
DeleteLove small towns moved here over 30 years ago and its really growing from about 700 to close to 2,000.
We had a windy weekend in Southwest New Mexico, but it's calm this morning and nice and sunny! :-) I'm glad you're enjoying Plattsville...
ReplyDeleteWe are making the best of the weather we are having.
DeleteWe're in the Sunshine State for the weekend, and boy does that sun feel good! :c)
ReplyDeleteWe had it but its gone now, enjoy the sun while you can!
