Niagara

The Stokes Farm Trial Gardens were closed, but across the road was a rose trial. I couldn't resist stopping and wading around. The fragrance was too real to be described.

Niagara Falls was bedlam: thousands and thousands of people, and parking cost $17.75. Fortunately we weren't especially concerned about seeing the falls. We parked at a distance and walked to the greenhouse full of tropical birds. 500 metres from the falls, free admission, and practically no one was there, an exotic, peaceful paradise.

dakoopst arrived safely. He and Brenna get on a little too famously. It's scary.

We're taking her home this morning, then heading to the cottage for several days, so we'll be out of internet contact.
