It is our day off at the farm. We walk towards a waterfall, our route takes us on the side of big lake. There are several nice houses on it, it reminds me the lake of Geneva.
I like the contrast between rich villa and the cloths put out to get dry.
I see the owner and I just say: ‘Hi, you have a nice house’.
– Yes, indeed, do you want to visit it ? answered Lois. She is retired now, but she worked with kids with handicap. She knows James, from our farm.
Her husband tries to remove the bad weeds.
This house was a general store 50 years ago. 10 years ago, when they bought it, it was a wreck. They had their life in Antigonish, 20 kms far, and during all this time they made the renovation in weekends and holidays.
Now they are very proud to show it .. I guess to anyone. It looks like a house for magazines…
They recycle everything in the store, lumber, peace of wood, even the old parquet, they reuse it to make the cupboards. These boxes are original used in the store
