a morning at the Amish auction

 I tried to discreetly take photos at this incredible gathering..

 later we visited the incredible bakery in Paisley..

Beau-tiful weekend

Finally weatherwise a totally perfect sunshine-y summer like day without blackflies ! Yea

I visited a local artist to peruse his art in lovely stone house studio nearby..

I trimmed edges of our green green lawn ..layed down mulch and peat moss ..froliced a bit with animals and sat down for a coool one in the shade to rest my weary bones later in day..sigh
Later I attended a concert in nearby Massie hall..Matthew Barber..wonderful and intimate

Also viewed a moving and spectacular film called "BIutiful" with the wonderful actor Javier Bardem..

who says you can't bring a little culture to the country..ahh the best of both..
 

my new rush hour ride

All I can say is give me twenty minutes of this sort of travel over everything and anything I have experienced in the past

May weekend bliss

Black fies hover..yet the verdant backdrop is encouraging..birds singing pigs strolling etc..

A new path..

indoor days

 The dogs and kitties provided lots of comfort and demonstrated how to relax..

 Although the sun was trying to emerge the winds were fierce

Good for the soul..Sometimes I'm forced to stay inside by ma nature and it gives me the respite from the world and the hustle that I so need.

A little urban getaway

Sometimes I have to be pushed out of the door-but in reality a change of scenery is usually a good thing. The trouble being that my scenery is beautiful and to travel endlessly (and for me it is endlesssly due to the fact I only travel small highways to reach my destination) i had the pleasure of attending a good artist friend's opening saturday afternoon in Toronto and parked quite expertly on a narrow downtown road on top of a little snowbank..navigating can be tricky..butI I enjoy the adventure of it!

Exploring little shops and taking in the styles and airs of the locals provided me with wonderful eye candy..A late lunch in a small unassuming Korean restaurant was a culinary miracle.I felt soothed and gastronomically attended to.Later a dinner with another artist friend's eleven women friends proved to be a heavenly tonic on a cold winter's night..
