Cycling in the County

Our ride in the county and Sandbanks Provincial Park was lovely….we dodged the rain and it turned out to be a good ride after all! 

Getting Ready to Ride

Into the Woods

Some minor tweaking on Penny’s bike made all the difference in the ride!

The Glamorous Side of Planning a Cycling Tour

A few weeks ago David and I drove to Leamington and back in one day (1200 km in total) to do some scouting for the Pelee Cycling Tour this August. We found some great spots for group dinners but this wasn’t one of them…..eating perch and chips from a chip truck at the Kingsville dock! Fish was great but the setting….not so much!

Living the dream

My Barn Quilt is Finally Up

I was traveling through Western Ontario a few years ago and noticed the art work on many of the barns….”barn quilts”.  I wanted to do one for our barn and last year I made one …I completed it in one week and then there it sat in the garage.  Finally today it went up…David, with the help of my two sons, installed it on the barn. Yeah! 

My true Canadian barn quilt.
