Date men and women from Canada / Ontario / Walkerton, 55 year old

Date a woman from Canada. To begin, I'd like to wish everyone good luck! The dating world at my age is entirely different from my thirties! I was in a relationship for 14 years, separated for over a year and I think it's time to "get back in the saddle", so to speak. I'm sure this is one of the best ways to meet people with shared interests.
I farmed for many years while working full time. I had goats, horses, cows, pigs, chickens, you name it. I've also always grown an organic garden. This will be my first year in 15 years I haven't had one because I'm moving in a few weeks. I will miss the fresh veggies, warm from the sun!
Corny humour makes me laugh. In my mind I'm 6' tall. I know how to relax and enjoy life and I also like to get things done. My friends would probably say I'm generous and have a good sense of humour. It would be great to spend time with a kind, generous person who enjoys some adventure. I enjoy travel and would like to see more of Canada, too. This all sounds kind of cliche.
I like to think I'm artistic and when work slows down I'd like to do some painting, other than walls.
I am receptive to the possibility of a long term relationship beginning as friends first. Not interested in casual encounters.
Okay, I know, my profile photos aren't the greatest, I'm somewhat camera shy. In person I'm lots of fun!
