Nelson West is one of my favourite rides, but one I avoid much of the summer. It's a favourite because of the startling variety of older homes, from big to tiny. And it's one I avoid because there's a 200 yard stretch of pavement that is simply absurd! It's called 'alligator pavement' and it makes riding a wheelchair both painful and difficult.
After that I was hard-pressed to find any more spring flowers, but this old tractor was still there. Hasn't moved in at least 7 years.
And my favourite old barn.
It looks like it would take a fair bit of work to get that tractor running. Nice looking barn, we never see a brick foundation here, they're all stone.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms!!!!
ReplyDeleteThose are some beautiful spring flowers. And I love that old barn!
ReplyDeleteThe old tractor, perfect setting for quilt photos. Love those spring flowers popping up. Our son-in-law finds the footpaths very rough too, and sometimes even goes on the road, tarsealed, they live in a small quiet town, so quite safe.However he did travel over a huge pothole one day.!!!
ReplyDeleteou can tell your son-in-law that I almost always ride on the roads. If they're not going to make smooth sidewalks, I'll ride the roads!
DeleteWhat pretty Heather and that yellow bunch of Crocus is very pretty! You had a good time out and about.
ReplyDeleteI contemplated purchasing a pot of heather at the grocery store. I don’t know; we tried it once before and failed. That style of barn is great.
ReplyDeleteReally pretty flowers. I love to go for walks or drives like that. I bought a bunch of Coleus this past week ... and three starts of standard red peppers, the big round red kind. Gotta try some heather again, not sure why it doesn't thrive here. Great tractor! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat Heather is way ahead of mine. Love Heather!
ReplyDeleteThe moss on the tires caught my eye, very interesting to see.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your rides, and Happy Easter!
I thought of you when I was checking my tv listings for this evening. TVO has a new TRIPPING coming. It's the French River. Starting April 20 at 9pm. We enjoy this series tremendously, and frequently visiting the French River region, we are excited by this latest offering.
ReplyDeleteThank you for risking the alligator ride for us!
ReplyDeleteI have a home for that tractor!!
Glad you are now able to get out and about!
ReplyDeleteThe crowding of bulbs really doesn't stop them from blooming.
ReplyDeleteA nice collection of photographs.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I like that barn.
