Bancroft

We have landed full time in Bancroft and will be here until November when we head south again. For our friends south of the border, who believe all of Canada is white and frozen, I'm beginning to think they're right. Here it is the middle of April and it looks like the middle of January outside. Remember, parts of Ontario are as far south as northern California, but the weatherman here doesn't know that. Our castle is frozen to the ground, and we are looking forward to staying indoors this weekend when we visit family and friends for Easter.

Can you see that little building off in the distance? No Mike, that's not our house, but that is where we will build our house this summer.

Our castle, frozen to the ground, cosy and dry on the inside.

Looking down our driveway, waiting for spring to arrive. Has anyone seen her?

Tuesday it was warm enough to work outside and that meant clearing and burning brush; Mary's favourite job.


We now have a "911" number, much easier to find our driveway. Are you coming up this summer?

This is what we like to see........... blue skies, fire burning, trailer safely parked, ......our home in Bancroft.
Let us know if you are planning to drop by this summer. We will have to work visits in around our construction schedule.
