Macauley House















This is the original home of Rev. William Macauley who
was one of the founders of Picton. The house was built
in 1830 and is now a popular tourist destination and is furnished
in the style of the period.

"Diane"















Several years ago my cat Diane stayed outside overnight
 in sub-zero weather. The Vet' had to clip off the tips of her ears.
Apparently,it is not that uncommon, and she doesn't
seem to mind. She still thinks she's beautiful.
