Wakefield, Quebec in Autumn

With winter slowly but steadily approaching, I'm finding it harder to stay indoors on a sunny day...

This is why, last Saturday, instead of staying home to do laundry or read, I suggested a drive in the country. 

Who knows how many more beautiful days we'll have before winter?!

I left the destination up to Terry. He chose Wakefield, a scenic village across the river in Quebec, where a former railway track that runs next to the river is now a walking path... 

We hadn't been to there in a while.

It's not that far...

But early in spring, the border between Ontario and Quebec was closed to stop the spread of COVID - and now there's talk of closing it again.

So off we went!

The day was beautiful - but a little cool.

I was surprised to see surfers riding the waves in the river. To avoid being carried away by the current, they were attached by rope to someone sitting on a rock.

Hope they enjoyed their day.

After marveling that anyone would be in the water in this cool weather, we continued walking into town - then back to the car.

We were only gone for a few hours - but the change of scene really brightened my day!
