Summer Holidays have quietly come to an end.
We tried desperately to slow it down but were seemingly unsuccessful.
It was a good month, however ...

| A bit of camping in our wee Escape 19 - our Happy Place |
Did a bit of biking on the G to G,
near Goderich, Ontario
and
Milverton, Ontario
These railroad trails are perfect
for biking/hiking,
They are well maintained,
level,
and so scenic!
So thankful for the foresighted
folks who have made this possible.

| Eek - where are the filters when we need them? Letting the hair go natural - second cut |
Woodstock's 50th Anniversary reminded us that there was a
50th Wedding Anniversary to celebrate too.
The Farmer's sister and our dear brother-in-law to be exact.
We surprised them with a "Woodstock" style dinner out
followed by some dessert here at the farm.

| lots of tie-dye - everyone was such a great sport albeit camera shy! |
It was such a fun evening!
This couple, Glennis and Mark, are amazing!
We love and respect them in so many ways.
They have contributed SO MUCH to our family and to the community they live in!
I couldn't ask for better in-laws!!
They will be continuing the celebration by taking their two sons and daughter-in-law
on a trip to Africa later this month!

Thank goodness for Youtube tutorials ...
Old fashioned farming still exists in our part of the country

Love to play with "Waterlogue" on these ...

The annual peach custard tart.
I always love an excuse to make this during
this bountiful harvest season!

A great month! You are going to be a beautiful blond! ☺️ Coming to Bar Harbor? Wonderful. My niece is camping there this week. Your grands are adorable and happy. Gotta love happy children. 😁
ReplyDeleteLooks like August was a full month of very good things!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful August for you! Lots of special moments . . . lots of love. Oh my, that is an amazing cake. (I could watch YouTube for years and never create that work of art.)
ReplyDeleteYour hair is looking good! Is the waiting process harder than you thought, or easier? I was so happy when all of the color was gone and I have never looked back, but during the process . . . there were moments. :)
Your little vacationers are SO adorable, and growing up so much!
What fun to see Glennis and Mark celebrating #50! They are longtime friends whose paths don't cross very much any more. Beautiful cake and grandchildren!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful cake ... not to mention the relish and pie! Is your girlie really starting school? Such cute kids they are! I'm always so happy for you when I see pictures...
ReplyDeleteThat was quite the cake, Rosella! Beautiful. You are a quick learner for sure. That peach custard tart looks amazing, too. Your grands are growing so fast...why do they do that? They are so cute. So happy you are close enough to be part of their lives. Happy September to you!
