Thank you farmers

After driving from Stratford to Goderich, I want to say thank you to the farmers who keep us in food. Sunday morning, after a hearty breakfast, we decided to explore a little. We have walked up and down the streets of main street Stratford many times and it was time for a change. We took highway 8, straight to Goderich. Aside from towns along the way, we were surrounded by farms with neat tidy homes and gardens. They certainly put some homes in the city to shame. Farming is not easy work, yet these people have well kept homes and gardens.

This year, the fields of corn looked like they had done extremely well. No scrawny stalks of corn, in most cases, the corn was taller than me. We had some Ontario corn on Friday and what a wonderful satisfy flavour. Must get more this week.

The towns of Seaforth, Clinton, Dublin and Mitchell looked like interesting towns to explore in the future. The architecture of another era had been preserved and now is recognized for its historic and architectural value. Next trip, we will take time to explore these gems.

At the end of the drive, we managed to drive the traffic circle in the centre of Goderich. Apparently, Queen Elizabeth declared it a pretty town, I can see why.

There is much more to discover in Ontario. Maybe, that is what we will do this fall when we finally take some time for a vacation.
