A Peaceful (but chilly) Trip to Jordan (11/1/24)

Happy November! It has turned much cooler here. As I write this, the temperature is 51 F, but the feel-like temp is 38 due to the wind. However, the upcoming forecasts seems to indicate that we may not be completely done with the warm weather. We’ll see. We’ve had nothing to complain about so far.

We did another short walk on the Bruce Trail with Jack yesterday. Today, we drove to the nearby community of Jordan for our first walkabout there for this sit. When we were here two years ago, there was some street closures due to road refurbishments, so it was nice to see the results. It’s got a very cute few block shopping, dining, hotel area.

Without even going in, this was our favorite store, great name!
The very attractive Lincoln Museum and Cultural Center
More shops and smells!
The Jordan House, tavern and lodging
A very cute, very small bakery

After our short tour in town, we drove out of town just a bit to a small green space, that the community seems to have big plans for.

Here is the current green space.
It lies on the curve of a main road
across from a bar and flea market.
Here’s a close up of some of their plans
It overlooks 20 Mile Creek.
Fun fact, the house we are caring for overlooks 15 mile pond.

We then drove back towards St Catharines but stopped in Jordan Station, a smaller community, to reacquaint ourselves with the Upper Canada Cheese Company. A cute store that sells their cheeses along with a number of locally made and other specialty products.
