Oh, Canada

 

It was raining, and it seemed like a good time to take a break the yard and garden work and catch up on some visiting with our friend Chris. 

So, why not drive across the border to Canada and have lunch in Creston.

The horses' hoof work was finished by 10:30, and Chris said she'd meet us here at the Lovestead at 11:30. 

By that time, the rain had stopped, but our plans were in full motion, so we took off, with the dogs in the back and Chris riding shotgun, and headed north toward the Eastport border. 

We did run into a few pockets of light rain, but for the most part, the day was yet another beauty. 

Jimmy's Pub and Grill in downtown Creston once again served up great lunches---poutine for Chris, pizza for Bill and a fried egg, bacon and lettuce sandwich for me. 

Later, we moseyed around downtown Creston and kept the stories going.  

Creston itself is in the height of its spring beauty right now with thousands of fruit trees in full blossom, so it was fun to drive around town and stop at an orchard. 

The dogs also enjoyed a few outings of their own. 

On our way back, we drove on a dirt road along the east side of the Kootenai Valley.  

Upon arriving back at the Lovestead around 6, we all agreed that it had been a neat outing. 

Good trip.  Great visit.  

So, today it's back to work with some garden projects.  Bill will help me get the rototiller started, and then I'll be tilling up the garden and maybe dropping a few seeds and doing some transplants.  

Fun times.  

Happy Wednesday.  Enjoy the photos.
