Undaunted by fallen trees across the path and wet leaves causing slippery conditions on the boardwalk the group gamely explored the terrain and admired the fall colors. Pausing by memorial plaques on large stones deep within the woods, participants learned the story of John Hindmarsh and his love of the area from his longtime friend Jane Davidson, who just happened to be along on the hike.

It was a hidden treasure just nine miles to the south of where I grew up on the 4th Concession of Goderich Twp. My sphere was very small in those days. It was, however, a wonderful discovery that altered the course my life's path would take for the next three decades. And for the last nearly three years I have even had the opportunity to live within the village limits. Tonight will mark our last night doing so. For with tomorrow's dawn I am going home. Back to the land my ancestors cleared in 1832 to make a life for my family for generations to come on what is now known as Orchard Line. John and I are looking forward to being the next caretakers of the farm. My mother has done it very capably on her own for the last 20 years and I hope that under her watchful guidance we can Melody Falconer -Pounder carry on the tradition. Our old grey tabby knows something is up. Every day for the last few weeks, items familiar to him have been disappearing. But he's done this before. We got him a new cushion for his rocking chair and hope he will adapt comfortably to what should now be his "furever" home. I must say; it feels a bit like a birthday... - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
