A Porch to relax on in Bath

This Wednesday morning our Plein Air group was at Amherst Island Ferry Terminal. However it was very busy. Not only was there very limited parking but we had to compete with a large cycle group for the few spaces. Our painting locations, in the shade, were limited, so we decided to go the few kilometers down the highway to Bath. The organizer, of these locations, had not scouted this one out carefully enough. That would be ME! OOPS! We found a lovely little park on the Lake Ontario shore, with flush toilets,( what a luxury) and plenty of shade. I settled in to paint this lovely old home with a great, cozy porch. There were blue spruces beside the house that gave it additional character too. It seemed perfect. And then the road construction started. They had a bulldozer and a back hoe and they were less than a block away. What a racket! ALL Morning. They didn't even take a coffe break. Sorry, yes the men did, but they left the equipment running. The porch on this house looked more and more appealing, to curl up in. But only on a quieter day!
