Where are we today ?
We gonna have an awesome day today look at the temps below. Just what we have been waiting for. |
| temps feeling like 38C (only 100F) |
So we headed off to The Farmer's Market in St. Jacobs, beat the crowds and beat the heat.
 |
| we both bought new hats at our favorite hat vendor |
So much to see and do here, and we check out all the prices they vary from vendor to vendor, always looking for a good deal.
 |
| fresh local corn |
The buskers here are always good too.
 |
| love the Mini pies, we bought an elderberry pie |
Then the oinsode meat vendors, we bought some Turkey sausage, and smoked pork chops, no room for fresh seafood right niw maybe next time.
 |
| amazing looking lobster, just under 3 lb |
Now we back home for a light lunch, feeling good but getting warm. So after a quick vacuum of the pool we went for a nice refreshing dip to cool down.
 |
| pool at 78f nice and refreshing |
Then I set about to pull our house batteries, clean them up and check the water level. Not bad at all did this last september and today only added 1 cup of distilled water to each battery.
When this was done daughter number 2 dropped by for a visit with the grands. Perfect day to enjoy John's pool, he did not mind so that's what we did.
 |
| tough guy Grandson number 4 |
 |
| their mom can do a cartwheel off the diving board too |
The pool was refreshing, we were in 3 times today and enjoyed every minute of it. Now with the family here we decided to wander down the street to the Trails Edge for a bite. The visit and dinner was a spur of the moment thing so this worked out great.
 |
| got my chicken wings and fries, I good |
 |
| daughter number 2 and the 2 boys |
How can you beat a day like this? Amazing summer weather (hot and humid), play in the pool with the grands and chicken wings for supper. Gotta love it. This is what summer is all about. Air conditioning? Think not,we want to enjoy this summer weather to the fullest.
Check out the interactive map below to see where we have been this Spring and Summer.
It is good to see that the farmers market you visited is actually offering farm products. Many of these local markets have migrated into craft sales and offer very little vegetables and other food items.
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent Market, local produce when in season, and also have crafts and other things too, also is year round always a fun place to visit.
DeleteThe prices on the pie and cookies are super. I can see each of you in your new hat.
ReplyDeleteGrandson number 4 is a cutie...don't tell him I said that, I don't think boys like being called cute...haha.
Most of the prices here are very good another reason this is a very popular place.
DeleteHe is a real devil actually always getting into things.
Maybe get pics of our new hats today.
You always can be counted on to find the good markets. It's nice the grands can come over and spend some time with you. What fun for sure.
ReplyDeleteIf the markets are good ones we return.
DeleteAnd it was a wonderful visit, so nice to see them again.
I'd love that market! It would be hard to keep from buying more than I could use... just because it looks so fresh and tasty! The market in Presque Isle has about 5 vendors... maybe a few more.... but it's so limited. Oh well... I'll enjoy your market through your eyes.
ReplyDeleteIt really is an amazing market, and like you we bought too much, but will enjoy it that's for sure.
DeleteAwesome market! Can't wait to see icterus of you two sporting your new hats! Love all the colors you found there!
ReplyDeleteNice day for a swim...
That should be pictures of you two...sorry!
DeleteI am working on the pictures as we speak.
DeletePersonally I don't like the AC either but with Kathy's allergies and Heart condition we'll put up with it.
ReplyDeleteNice to be able to spend some quality family time together.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
That's too bad about her allergies, mine act up even more when using the AC.
DeleteThe family time is always fun.
That's the one frustrating thing about RV living, finding great deals on food items and not having enough room in the fridge to store them. :c(
ReplyDeleteThats why we go to the markets more often, just cause we can.
DeleteLooks like a wonderful day! Love your pics of St. Jacob's - nice to see what it looks like now- take care, Monique
ReplyDeleteIt is a great market , not to be missed when you are nearby, that's for sure.
DeleteGreat looking market. We are near Yellowstone for a month and the produce in the store is pitiful.
ReplyDeleteThis an amazing area of Ontario, farm country for sure and the vendors love to flock to this market, always busy, year round.
DeleteLove your market days and all the photos. Perfect weather and a surprise visit, what more could you want?
ReplyDeleteThanks it was a great day !
