US-Canada friendship

Saturday, August 26th, 2006

Wednesday when we crossed into Canada, the border guard at Sault Ste. Marie handed us a survey for American visitors. One question asked how many times we’d been to Canada in the last five years. We counted fifteen in our travel log! We love Canada and greatly look forward to our next visit.

Scenes across NE North America

Garden blogging gets a vacation this week so I can post some general travel photos. I did look for a good farm scene in Vermont with mountains and cows, but I came up empty. We did see some cows along Rt. 2 near Plainfield, but the light was no good and the location along the winding road made shooting difficult.

Farther up the road, near St. Johnsbury, there are a lot of old barns. But where are the cows? Over and over again, we saw old dairy farms lacking livestock and evidently no longer operating.

We’re back in Maine now. Regular postings will resume shortly.
