Saturday to the Peterborough Market

Where are we today ? 

Buckhorn Ontario

         Another good night for sleeping, windows open fresh breeze being drawn in with our fantastic fan. All is good slept late until almost 5:30 this morning and felt like a million bucks.

        Hot humid and pretty sticky by 8:30 this morning gonna be another awesome day. Temps about 85f feeling like about 94 f with the humidity but we have anice refreshing summer breeze we don't even feel like going for a swim.

        Went to Peterborough Farmer's market and the local weather thingies are saying its 90f over 100f, but hey thats in the city.

the first thing we did was stop to pick a a huge chunk
 of applewood smoked pork keilbosa only $10.00.

good crowds at the market so we made it a quick  tour

fresh picked cherries

         Lotsa buskers there playing their tunes making for a wonderful atmosphere.

local honey

picked up some new potatoes and sweet peas, oh so good

Hammered Dulcimer

more local fresh strawberries

these young kids are doing great on the Hula Hoops, too much fun

        Then a drive about Peterborough for a bit, could say we got lost. But we don't get lost just sometimes explore and take the scenic route. Ened up by the Peterbourgh lift lock. An engineering marvel we have not seen for a few year. You can read a bit about it HERE

the tunnel under the Peterborough Lift Lock

Peterborough Hydraulic lift lock, not busy right now

        A nice drive along the canal stopped at Giant Tiger discount store picked up a new pair of shorts for $5.00, like this store!

        Back home for a bite to eat for lunch, walkabout and chat with a few people then relax in the shade with a nice breeze and our books.

wonderful view

Pat, Norm and Billy Jean stopped by for Suzie's doggie fix
 and happy hour.

        Then we fire up our Weber Q and Fry Daddy, just have that awful craving for chicken wings and homemade fries again. So there add some celery, carrots, red pepper, hot sauces and dips we got to enjoy this feast right here at home on an awesome summer day.

love our wings and fries

      Now to work off supper outside for a couple hours, with a walkabout and book reading, until time to head inside to finish off the rest of our strawberry shortcake. It's a tough job but somebody has to do it! And we are loving every minute of it.

same picture as last night but still tastes awesome,
all gone until the next one.

        Thats was it for a fun saturday here just enjoying summertime, thanks for stopping by.
