One has to remember that Hespeler was mostly built by immigrants, as were all the older places in North America.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-84292390531236658182008-07-27T09:08:00.000-04:002008-07-27T09:08:00.000-04:00I guess I am somewhat naive about what plants grow...I guess I am somewhat naive about what plants grow where. I was very surprised when we came back to Canada to see plants, shrubs, trees growing here that I thought would only grow in the southern climate. It gets pretty warm here in the summer, as hot as anywhere really, but it gets pretty cold here too so I would have thought these plants wouldn't survive.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-22204844285130785832008-07-27T03:44:00.000-04:002008-07-27T03:44:00.000-04:00Tht view of Hespeler across the river reminds me o...Tht view of Hespeler across the river reminds me of places I've seen in France - though gynie may disagree with me. :D<BR/><BR/>Some yuccas grow here too, though not wild. There were some big ones in the garden of the first place we rented, and I suffered many scratched legs and arms from their pointy leaves as a child.hrugaarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621922879300266376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-24250563750371002262008-07-26T13:25:00.000-04:002008-07-26T13:25:00.000-04:00I didn't actually mention, our friend's house is b...I didn't actually mention, our friend's house is built of the old stone as shown in the picture of the mill.<BR/><BR/>I see the video of the Last Lecture didn't post, I must rectify that.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-9108184409883673462008-07-26T10:50:00.000-04:002008-07-26T10:50:00.000-04:00Jo -- Beautiful house' beautiful place.I've never ...Jo -- Beautiful house' beautiful place.<BR/><BR/>I've never heard of pastelitos, but one is never too old to learn.<BR/><BR/>MarilynMarilyn Z.
