I recently returned to Hespeler after 10 days travelling throughout the States. I saw many historic and famous cities, such as Indianapolis, St. Louis, Memphis, New Orleans, Galveston, Houston, Dallas, Little Rock and Hot Springs. I saw the mighty Mississippi as it wound through a few of these cities. And I saw the Gulf of Mexico at Galveston, which is fortunately not experiencing the oil spill disaster....at least not yet.
Even after seeing all of these wondrous things, it was a joy to come back to Hespeler and partake in the beauty that we have here....which is just what I did during an early walk with my dog this morning.
I noticed several changes in the downtown, foretelling of more changes to come!
I noticed how great the flower baskets and planters are doing this year. I know the weather has been in our favour (for a change!), but I also think the baskets themselves are just exceptional this year.
I also noticed what a great job the City did this year in beautifying our Village.
I tried to take in all of the natural wonders that surround us in Hespeler:
And I noticed that that one tree in Forbes Park, the variegated maple that is planted by the Forbes Street entrance, is once again signalling that summer won't last forever:
Please visit our beautiful downtown and surrounding areas before it's too late to catch the summer glory!
