Dear Adele,
On July 1, we took a terrific drive through the countryside. The day alternated between beaming bright sun and dark, stormy clouds with rain.
We managed by good luck to be outside for each of the sunny periods and back in the car travelling for the refreshing rain showers.
We came upon a massive field of Black Eyed Susans (correct flower name?) and we all piled out to pick a big bouquet.
As we carried on to visit Leslie's cousin's farm, we gathered a bucketful of the freshest, still warm eggs from the hen house. The yokes were as golden as the petals of the flowers on the table. We also picked up some amber maple syrup boiled from sap this spring in the maple bush that has been in Leslie's family for generations.
It was such a treat to be out in the countryside on a glorious Canada Day. I hope that you had a fine day too.
Good wishes to you as the summer days grow and the breeze feel like warm silk upon your skin.
Cup of tea upon your return?
John
