Summer in Norfolk County, Ontario

 

Ahhh, so peaceful...

Hiya followers! If you live anywhere close to Georgetown, Ontario, make sure to check out my website and sign up to one of my cooking demonstrations! You can either come out to The Carter Farm Market, or I will come out to your house for a private demo! www.sarahsculinaryadventure.com

Well, it's been a little while since I've posted any of my photos of our 10 acres of countryside in Norfolk County, Ontario. It's our escape from the city and we love to get out there as much as possible! Whether it's gardening, camping out, having a picnic, playing horseshoes or just plain relaxing in the peace and quiet of the land, I always try to have a camera handy to document the good times. Enjoy!

Homegrown garlic, anyone?!

We spotted this big guy in the tomatoes! It's a Ceratomia Undulosa larva, which will become a Waved Sphinx moth!

The perfect evening for a bonfire! Wish we were there right now...
