Land Of Oz?


As Home Alone 15 was winding down and we were on our way out of town, we stopped by to visit a friend who lives in a farm house, down by the river. The Rideau River, that is. A magical little world, filled with sunflowers.


Here, a little garden fairy is found among the tiny sunflowers. She's only two feet fall, and cute as a button. But she can drink beer with the best of them. Or us, I guess. And she did. And we did.

And because of that, after our visit, which included a boat drink on the Rideau River, we decided to extend the Ottawa Valley portion of our tour by a day. However, it now meant one lad had to miss a day's work. Good call, Mr. P, way to take one for the team.


Actually, these are huge sunflowers. In a huge field. Walking among these giants was as disorienting as anything my North Bay friends ever cooked up. Are you talking to me?


And there's a sorry shot, of a sad little fellow found among the flowers. Looks like he's been drinking beer with the Garden Fairy.
