Filtrine Dam

This morning we packed up and drove to our next destination beautiful Harrisville. It was such a beautiful drive! We are in snow country and the countryside is green and leafy with rippling streams and tall trees of various kinds. It is so stunning. I am reading a fabulous book on “my life in Jerusalem” which is riveting, but I couldn’t take my eyes off the scenery. We stopped at a cute cafe and grabbed a coffee and morning tea and then kept driving until we saw a wood shop which we stopped and looked at and bought a few souvenirs! We finally arrived at our destination and wow!! What a gorgeous spot it is. Set in the countryside, on 8 acres surrounded by beautiful lakes and such a cozy farmhouse. It has 6 bedrooms and a loft. The boys are loving it. I feel like Anne of Green Gables sitting on the balcony (or rather Marilla!). We have 3 nights here. As soon as I arrived I met the neighbour ‘Bonnie’. We immediately connected and as she was going to the shops 20 mins away she offered to take me. I jumped in her car and she took me on the scenic route to the shops and we chatted the whole way exchanging life stories! Unbelievably her life was not dissimilar to mine! Amazing! I did a big shop and then came home and cooked up a butter chicken curry. It’s a beautiful evening here. A fine way for us to spend the last few days together. So thankful for the peace and quiet of this beautiful place.Read more
