Ooh La La

I've really had enough of this already, good job I'm not the organised type who puts snow pants, gloves, hats etc away before June.  Perhaps 'cast ne'er a clout til May be out' is wise after all, or at least 'organize ne'er a coat closet til May be out.'
Despite waking up to an inch of snow this morning it has actually been very warm for the past couple of days.  On Sunday it was 22 degrees so we went on an adventure to small town Ontario and checked out Paris.  This is the main street.
I've never been to the capitol of France but I suspect that all resemblance between it and this one ends with the name.  I liked this though.
Actually, the downtown area was pretty old by Canadian standards and had a nice bohemian feel to it.  We had an excellent coffee in The Brown Dog, although I wouldn't advise sitting outside it or any other of the eateries after looking at their balconies from this angle.
And to finish off an interesting historic fact for you.  Alexander Graham Bell received the first ever long distance telephone call in this Paris in 1876.  Sunshine, coffee and a little bit of history, what more could you wish for.
