This was a good ride with John. We made it to HH Knoll park.

Weather, work schedule and mood have put my lunch date with Junior on pause lately. Getting back into it now. He appreciates it just as much as I do.

Overlooking the Spruce Bog trail yesterday.

The broken windows theory stems from an article written in 1982 by criminologists James Q. Wilson and George Kelling. Their theory states that signs of disorder will lead to more disorder. A building with a broken window that has been left unrepaired will give the appearance that no one cares and no one is in charge. This will lead to vandals breaking the rest of the windows and adding graffiti, because in their minds nobody cares. (Source)

Yesterday I learned from John that the word HOMES has the first letter of the 5 Great Lakes (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior).

We've arrived.

This is becoming somewhat of a habit. We're heading up north again today! I'm excited.

But I'm working on my website.

We used to call Freddie "murder paws" - but slowly she's becoming less and less murderous.

This week I really took a liking to Greek salads. I made as many as I could, each better than the last I think. I'm almost there.

Fancy lights at the Innisfil OnRoute.

Went to Canoe Lake for sunset. Learned that the Portage Store at Canoe Lake is closing down permanently because they lost the contract. This is very sad because lunch at the Portage Store has become tradition when we take a day trip to Algonquin Park in August during our island week.

We saw another, bigger moose later in the day. She stuck around for about 2 hours! She has quite the crowd gathering around her and she didn't even care. Moose seem to love to come down to the ditch by the road this time of year to enjoy a nice drink from the spring melt -- and there is lots of that going on all around the park right now.

We attempted hiking. Everything is muddy and wet but we got to the falls at Ragged Falls. There was an insane amount of water coming through there. I did take a video but this site can't handle embedding videos yet (I'm working on it). I'll post an Amazon gallery of this trip when we get home.

Met this young lady today.

One of Pircsi's favourite stops along Highway 60.

Up early to catch sunrise over Highway 60.

Weekend in Algonquin with Pircsi once again. 😃 We arrived in Huntsville right at sunset.
