It's good to be home, well sort of...

We had a great visit with my mum and dad in Toronto, we even managed a couple of days at their summer cottage on Lake Huron. The leaves were stunning and the scenery beautiful as always. We were able to help them move some furniture as they are having new floors put into the house and space needed to be made for the floor contractors to work. After that, back to Toronto where Arthur worked and I visited and relaxed!

We crossed from Canada to the US at Niagara Falls and managed to get a few pictures. It was a pretty cold and overcast day, the falls would have looked much nicer in the sunlight, but at this time of year, I guess we were just lucky it wasn't snowing.
If you look slightly to the right of center and (middle) in the second shot you can just make out the people standing in their yellow raincoats. It should give you some idea of the size of the falls if you have never seen them in person.
We had customers to see on the way home, which broke up the first part of the trip. The shot above is Pittsburg at night. Lots of changes in altitude there, this is where much of the coal comes from for American electricity.
I thought this was a pretty cool tunnel.
The last day was a long drive, we stayed in Virginia, then left at 4:30 am, drove 25 hours with a couple of stops for meals and to put air in a troublesome tire about a million times, finally arriving home in Florida at 5:30 am the next morning.

When we came home, we found that we had some predator which killed about 2/3 of my chickens, there are only about 20 left, the cats had managed to open a window and were gone, but they came back, cold, hungry and very scared. The house was pretty dusty, but I took care of that after a couple of hours sleep. So, although there were some sad things to come home to, it's still good to be back in the warm sunshine of Florida!
