Day to Day: Update

Apologies for the lack of updates, as per usual. Clearly, I am not capable of managing a blog on a daily basis. What is going on around here is the maximum enjoyment of summer. Every day has been feeling like an adventure lately, lot's of time in the sun, swimming in the lake, visits to cottages, music festivals, steppin' out in fun colourful dresses. I can't believe it is almost the end of July. Summer, slow down, please!

Some photos from my Thanksgiving weekend. We had a last kick of hot sunny weather this past weekend and I made sure I enjoyed every last second of it. I went to a gorgeous farmer's market on Saturday morning at Wychwood Barns and I lamenting right now that I didn't have my camera with me. Ontario has some of the richest farmland in the world so, come Autumn, the harvest in this part of the world is quite bountiful. All of the root vegetables are now coming up along with the greens like kale and chard. YUM. Later that day I decided to ride my bike over to Toronto Island and lay on the beach for a few hours. It was warm enough that I was able to go for a swim in Lake Ontario which was awesome but also bitter sweet. Summer please don't go!
Sunday I drove out to the country to spend some time with family and we visited an apple orchard. These apples are DELICIOUS. I ate three of them yesterday. Such a spectacular weekend - time with family, time with friends, so much amazing food, the harvest, nature, quiet, the warm sun ~ I have so much to be thankful for!
