We drove the coastal hwy 3 through Essex, Kingsville, ( Canada goose migratory flight path), Leamington (tomato capital of Canada, Heinz company, miles of greenhouses, very flat land). There are some lovely country estate homes, lots with farm vendor stands out front selling garden produce. Pumpkins (and gourds, squash, hay bales, corn stalks) are on display everywhere -hallowe'en seems to be a really big event here and most homes have been decorated for days already. Blenheim has corn, tomatoes & sugar beets. Shedden is Canada's rhubarb capital. We arrived at Alton & Diane Summer's cozy farm home in Fonthill (Niagara Falls) at 5:00 in the rain. We travelled with these two on our Fantasy Tour of Australia/New Zealand/Fiji this spring so are happy to re-connect and be hosted by them for a few days.
