acquainting The Pic too area is pastoral with unexpected surprises There a mountain with a lake on top and it is a strange sensation to gaze out across a lake and then turn and look down a mountain There is an area of endless sand dunes where each step shifts and snakes a person out of the false security regimented time You cannot walk long or far on sand and hold to the notion of reliable minutes Time fades The eyes come back from at the water and take up a visual conversation with the sand There are no sharp edges Curves are soothing A ferry must be crossed to go toward Kingston on the old highway A bridge would be quicker But there la something satisfying about the enforced delay It a good waiting with this old catching up on news and the rest of us welcome eaves droppers Included In the conversation at the slightest show of interest People are so friendly with a bit of encouragement The old highway follows the lake Stirred by the historical plaques and our frustration at our Ignorance of Canadian history we should know who was we can dimly see the wagons and horses ribboning through the country An abandoned farm house along that high way of memories captures our interest and we risk ruts to drive in So overgrown as to be nearly is the house yet we come near a mated at the marvellous power ol things wild to cclalm their own Vines have crept across the verandah and we arc not sure If It Is these or the rotting posts that still support the roof A peek into windows still accessible Atone our hearts nearly stop It is a tiny bedroom filled almost by a bed a white Iron bed with mattress still on it A black straw hat the clutch of flowers on its brim unbowed if slightly faded is on the bed as if casually tossed there by someone who has just stepped out of the room for a moment and will soon return Three or four books strewn across the bed further the illusion We hold our breath and creep away There is a rose bush gone to briar in the yard and we do battle with thorns to pick a bouquet to fill the car with beauty and fragrance Some person must have planted the bush years ago Its a pleasant notion this sharing across time I like to think some things 1 do for my pleasure today will cross the years and give some other kindred spirit an unexpected lining of the heart We head north and the highway soon begins to cut through rock and we can see Canada ribs exposed In Algonquin Park we walk around a lake The trail is clear enough for silent guiding wild enough so that we feel the onlooker as we encounter as we encounter huge chubby tadpoles a startling green dragonfly and the spoor of something large enough to be a big dog but likely not at all a dog and the contemplation causes us to send swift glances Into the undergrowth at the sides of the trail At Dorset we discover a summer com mi ity one of many unique satisfying the epitome of the screen doors slamming on a hot summer evening Dorset has a general store voted the best in Canada a restaurant that used to be the local hotel which possess Just the bit of elegance a cottager or camper appreciates on holiday Theresa bridge with oneway traffic An eating place where the food and the concern over your enjoyment of the food is of unexpected excellence A community hall that shows two movies once a week the seven clock show for the children the nine clock for their parents Nightly bingo takes place in the legion hall A street dance is on annual event Twice a day a plane lands on the lake zooming in at an impossible angle It ex changes passengers and supplies It is small enough so that when I stand near I am not filled with awe that such a huge thing can fly but instead my shoulder blades tingle where my wings should be and I feel the yearning that drove man to construct such a machine The Royal Bank would like to say Can do to all your banking needslry our new 24houraday Personal Touch Banking Machine Ask for more details at any of our branches ROYAL BANK 83 MAIN ST
