Thank you! Interesting about the daffodils growing in the ditch. DOTH and I went for a walk along an area overlooking the bluffs. - you will remember them, but not from the area where we were. I remembered that I visited an elderly couple, over 20 years ago, from our church, who owned one of just a few houses along that stretch. It was more like a cabin but was their permanent home, insulated, beautifully decorated and furnished, with a stunning view of Lake Ontario. THe houses were torn down probably 20 years ago and you would never know there used to be houses there...but if you looked closely, which we did, you could see flowers growing, in amongst the overgrown grass - so much so that you could literally mark out the front and back gardens of each home. It was quite eerie, as we also found some small household items, like spoons, broken tea cups etc., which made one pause for thought about who lived there, where they are today and how much they must have missed their beautiful homes when they had to move (because of cliff erosion...although there actually hasn't been a lot, but I guess enough to take the precaution of no longer being allowed to live there.). It was quite fun doing the detective work, and building a bit of a story about the people who lived there. The Go Train station is now just a couple of 100 yards away, so their idyllic spot would have been spoiled by the noise, anyway!kaybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12808550103489943108noreply@blogger.com
