Another fun, busy day getting things done with pretty decent fall weather.

Where are we today ?

Plattsville Ontario

          Still having warm fall weather here in Ontario, cool enough to sleep with windows open but still damp and overcast in the morning. So with the usual early morning coffees, computing and a bit of a walkabout, head to the garage in town to chat with some of the guys. Pay our bill there for service on the coach and back home to pick up Suzie. We are heading to the lab in New Hamburg to see the vampire for another blood test, that I am sure will be just fine.

          Drop a car load of stuff at the thrift store from Ma's house and then we head on into the St. Jacobs Farmer's Market. We have a few items we want to pick up before heading south. A few hours here wandering about enjoy the sights, sounds and smells, checking things out and picking up some clothes for Suzie from vendors we like. Even some fresh baked goods from the Mennonite vendors.

rain had stopped when we got there

         So much fresh produce in season at extremely reasonable prices, wish we could buy some, but going across the boarder next week not a good plan. Most vegetables and fruit are not allowed.

$5.00 a basket !

lotsa crocs, but not cheap 

new construction happening

their cider is excellent

summer sausage smells awesome!

Maple Syrup right from the farm

then to the inside vendors

Everything you want is here

Then the temporary coverall, with so much more

cheeses

seafood

       Then a drive through the Village of St.Jacobs to Picards peanuts. Stock up with some fresh peanuts for Suzie and 'Chip nuts" for daughter number one.

           From here back to Ma's house, take a final load to the dump, while Suzie did a bit more cleaning, then load the car with the final load of items to donate to the Thrift Store in New Hamburg.
         Now we can head back home by about 3 pm.
         Sun still shinning so hop on the mower and cut a bit more grass, the deck only runs 15 minutes now, ( takes 40 minutes to do that) so it will take a few days to finish up the rest before we head south.

nice view of the road back into Plattsville

              Two edible things that Suzie likes from the market from the one Mennonite vendor is the tiny Zucchini Nut loaf and Elderberry Pies a very special treat.

the pie give us 4 small pieces= perfect

             After mowing the lawn and relaxing for bit outside, I fired up our Weber Q to grill some Turkey Bratwurst and cauliflower with yellow peppers, add to a tasty salad and we are good to go.
             Where we going? To the arena in town to watch Grandson number one play hockey. This could very well be the last game we are able to see until maybe some time in the spring.

tasty yes

           That was our busy day, getting things all wrapped up. Just a few more days like this and we hit the  road heading south for warmer temps. and new adventures.

            Hope you had a wonderful day too, thanks for stopping on by.
