Pull Up a Seat Photo Challenge – Week 13
….thanks to Xingfu Mama for hosting the Pull Up a Seat Photo Challenge’
During our trip to the vineyards in the Niagara Region I noticed that a lot of the wineries were preparing for the good weather by bringing out their garden furniture. Unfortunately it’s not quite warm enough to ‘pull up a seat’ and enjoy the great outdoors.
It was quite another story over a Icellars where the seats were indoors and very comfy for wine tasting.
Between the Lines had some nice chairs inside as well but they seemed more ornamental than practical.

Chicken Tea Cozy.
Do the green coconut leaves look odd to you on this winter scene?
I wanted to pick one of these up to illustrate how large they are until my daughter pointed out the sign on the shelf.
Spiky Sculpture
…can’t believe that March Squares is over on Sunday
Thanks Becky for hosting this wonderful daily challenge. I know you’ll come up with another great theme for the next one.
Played around with the settings to see if I could get more contrast. What do you think?

Thursday Doors – Niagara Wineries
….thanks to Norm for hosting Thursday Doors
Lunch, five wineries, tastings and great company. Today my daughter and daughter-in-law joined my husband and me and together we took a drive down to St. David’s in the Niagara region. I knew ahead of time that I wanted to take part in Norm’s door challenge so I packed my camera bag in search of some great doors and wine of course.
We started out at Ravine where we had a wonderful lunch first and then began our wine tasting adventure. All in all we went to five smaller wineries, tasted some fantastic wine and met some wonderful people who were very passionate about their products.

We had an outing today that took us to wine country in the Niagara Region. To get there we travelled on the highway and country roads and over pavement, gravel and dirt.
Thursday Spikes – Abandoned Christmas Tree
….thanks to Becky B for hosting March Squares
Every year we debate whether our Christmas tree will be picked up on the scheduled date or if we’ll be storing it in a corner of the yard until we can get out and cut it up into smaller pieces to be taken away with the regular garbage. This year we were lucky and we didn’t have the problem of keeping it around for six months. Clearly though, some people in the neighbourhood missed the pick-up date or the truck missed the tree on the curb side.
Sunny but Cold
…..six days into spring and it still feels like winter
Despite the cold, the sun makes me want to walk around my neighbourhood. When the wind isn’t blowing it isn’t too bad. Unfortunately the areas that I like walking the best are always near the lake and even the tiniest breeze can be bone chilling cold. For some reason the geese, ducks and swans don’t seem bothered by the cold. It must be all that lovely down next to their bodies.
