A Change of Scene

It's been a long, snowy winter...














Time for a change of scene!














On Monday Terry and I headed south via the back roads to the St. Lawrence River seaway... and a quick shopping trip across the border.














 We wondered if the seaway valley would have as much snow as we do...














 They seem to have a little less.














 I always enjoy seeing the lovely old churches that were built a hundred or more years ago.














 These were in Cardinal and Morrisburg, the home of "Upper Canada Village" - a tourist village of historic old buildings that give a sense of Ontario's past. Many were taken from the land that was flooded to create the seaway.














I was happy to see that - although our snow was far from gone - ships were sailing on the seaway, and Canada geese were optimistic enough about the arrival of spring that they were flying north!














 We heard their welcome honking in the sky - and at times were able to see them, too.
