Pick up the morning newspaper in your housecoat or wander into the garden in pajamas. There are no fast trucks, no loud streams of traffic, few people.
We are surrounded only by an array of open lawns. Huge old catalpas, maples, ash, walnut and pine trees. The odd tree is aging and destined for removal but neighbours trade saplings like perennials so new trees keep appearing.
Walk to the Post Office, the grocery store, the drug store, the small-town department store or take a relaxing drive along the Grand to Caledonia, Dunnville or through the farming community to Hagersville. Shop at the farmers' markets.
In the village or within a few kilometers we have some of the best antique stores, art shops, schools, little theatres, churches, cafes, pubs, museums and libraries. New arenas are popping up. Soccer fields, tennis courts and baseball diamonds dot the villages. Don't plan to go swimming though unless it is summer. Local service clubs work hard to provide folks with the extras but an indoor pool escapes us.
At the end of the day, it is the considerate, caring, friendly country people who win our hearts. Cayuga is a great place to live.
