Thanks to Becca Givens for hosting Sunday Trees
….good-bye March
I know that if March comes in like a lamb it’s suppose to go out like a lion. I’m not sure that this qualifies as a lion but before I went to bed just after midnight I saw this:
….this morning I woke up to this and it’s still snowing.

I don’t know why I’m surprised by this. We get snow in April sometimes. Luckily this won’t last long and it will probably be gone later today.

….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.


…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?
….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.
