Into the mid 50's overnight perfect for sleeping. I got a very nice quiet walkabout town so peaceful just hearing the birds, no traffic and no people, first 2 miles to get me started for the day.
Back home to putter around bit more another coffee consumed then Suzie and I headed into Woodstock (the Dairy Capital of Canada) a nice scenic country drive about 25 minutes not much traffic at all . To the Woodstock Famers market.

We arrived at the Farmer's market in Woodstock and is quite nice, not large but local vendors selling their produce in season, fresh egs, meat counters, cheese, seafood, baked goods lots of variety and good food. We do enjoy these smaller market is the areas
 |
| fresh local berries we love |
 |
| not too busy as usual the way we like it |
 |
| got some excellent strawberries here |
 |
| this is a quiet area to relax with tables and chairs |
A few meat vendors here that are very busy. Excellent looking fresh meats.
 |
love these smoked pork chops, huge,
good prices but just bought one to share |
 |
| seafood |
 |
| excellent cheese too |
 |
| Even a couple of buskers playing some good tunes |
We checked to see if our good friends Mike and Trish were home for a visit . But they were out and about maybe another time. So we were back home by 11 am for a light lunch.
 |
nothing quite like fresh local Ontario Strawberries,
so very sweet and juicy |
 |
a huge smoked pork chop and
some Turkey Garlic sausage to try |
Lunch all done so I hopped on the mower to finish mowing the last few acres here I do enjoy this time to ride around enjoying the fresh air and country setting. only 1 hour 45 minutes this time I put it on full throtttle and got it done. Always looks and smells so nice when it is freshly mowed.
I was done mowing the lawn by 1:15 and was really ready for a nice refreshing dip in the pool, grabbed Suzie and away we went. Oh my, that feels so much better now. Temps with humidity feels like 97 F.
 |
| yup this was perfect |
Now we can enjoy our e-readers in the shade. Then as predicted we had rain at 2 :15 and it came down real heavy for about 15 minutes, then stopped and the sun came back out. Still very warm but nice to sit under our awning listening to and watching the warm summer rain.
 |
| love the views here of the fresh mowed lawn |
 |
| the rain began |
 |
| and more it rained |
 |
| not long our pails are full of rain water |
While I was mowing the back few acres here on the edge a bush attached me did some damage to my thin skin that I have, I have had worse and will survive, but this is just another thing about getting older.

| oppssy |
After a cooling swim in the pool was soon time for Happy Hour. A nice snack today celery with peanut butter on one and cheese whiz on another.
 |
| a nice light snack |
Soon was time to whip us supper, Tonight we going to grill a couple of the Turkey Garlic Sausage we bought today to go with our usual tasty salads.
 |
| very tasty Turkey Garlic sausage |
 |

Where have we been this Summer ?
That market looks amazing. You got some good stuff!!
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice small market but we did get some good stuff and are enjoying it too.
DeleteThe lawn does look great! Nice to see it so well manicured. The Farmer's Market sure looks like a place we'd like to spend some time. ButI do have to question CheeseWiz? I'm sure my favorite camping chef has other ideas :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeff I do enjoy mowing the lawn here and making it look good.
DeleteThis is Canadian Cheese wiz much different than the American same name, still a processed product but is completely a different product. We take some across to Buffalo NY for our American friends there in the fall.
Another nice Farmers Market day, everything always looks so good. Nice job once again on the lawn.
ReplyDeleteThanks JO it was a nice market day lots of good food.
DeleteThere seem to have been brief showers all around yesterday. Great Market day and that well how big were the thorns and had you done to it lol
ReplyDeleteIt was a good market day we enjoyed and the rains were nice as well. I did not hurt the thorns at all just jumped right out at me.
DeleteWhat a great day starting with the walk and then Farmer's Market. Really wish we had one close to us! Those strawberries look awesome! You got that mowing done in time and then to the pool. Wow that rain! That's quite a little gash on your arm! Bad bush! LOL..Dinner looks really yummy!
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful day all the way around. We have 3 markets within a 30 minute drive we do enjoy checking then out It was a bad bush but did stop bleeding at least. Dinner was very tasty thanks.
DeleteYour farm markets always have such good looking stuff.
ReplyDeleteAll the farm land around here makes for some very nice markets.
DeleteSorry about your owie. Hope it heals fast. A variety of activities in one day but overall relaxing.
ReplyDeleteThese things happen all the time to me and it is healed already. And yes a busy but relaxing day for sure.
DeleteWell I never thought I'd see a picture of Springbank Snow Countess in your blog. I grew up in Woodstock, so this brought back happy memories.
