Wine Festival Weekend

The Beamsville area has at least 16 wineries!
Here is the View restaurant at Eastdell.

The Best Fruit Stand

Here's my favourite fruit stand - on Greenlane near Grimsby. They have the best peaches, good vegetables, and lots of flowers and pumpkins.

Sunday Hike

On Sunday, Don and I attempted to hike to the top of Rock Dunder, a recently acquired feature of the Rideau Waterway Land Trust. Here is a view of Morton Bay taken from the trail. We didn't make it to the top, but we had a great hike.





Here's a fellow hiker, Mr. O'Reilly from Portland, Ontario.

Babies and Books

On Thursday, I did the first of three sessions of "Babies and Books". After the rhymes, songs and stories, I got down the box of toys. Everybody had a good time, including the two grandmas in the centre of this picture.

Future Wine

On Sunday, I drove along East West Line in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Lots and lots of grape vines!

At The Beamsville Fair

I spent a brief time at the Beamsville Fair this evening. It is just a short walk away from where I live. Here is the midway.










My favourite part is the barn with the weird poultry and the bunnies. The nice man minding the display opened the door of the cage so I could get this bunny without the screen in front.















Here is a prize winner, with feathery feet!

Peach Season in Niagara

This is a follow up to my post of May 5 , which showed some beautiful pink peach blossoms. It seems like that was only a week or two ago. Now we are past the middle of peach season.










Here is a peach pie that I made this morning.
