Eric visits the musical petting zoo
The “Musical Petting Zoo” at Summerfolk Festival in August had about 100 instruments for people to try out. Eric tried out anything with strings and then some. None of the photos below are captioned because I don’t remember what anything was.
Coffin Ridge
To celebrate our 8th anniversary, Eric and I drove out to the Coffin Ridge winery.
Mudtown Festival
Hibou Conservation Area
Our first picnic at Hibou Conservation Area, just a few minutes from home.
The Harmony Centre
Another stop from last weekend’s Doors Open event, the Harmony Centre. Formerly a United Church, the 140-year old building was recently repurposed as a non-profit arts education centre housing a soup kitchen as well as community groups. We visited just at the right time to see a singing group perform!
The CPR Station
Yesterday (Sunday) Eric and I checked out Doors Open, a yearly all-Ontario event where The Public can visit heritage buildings for free. We dropped by the CPR station (again), but the second time with camera.
Originally built in 1946, with its Modern design and excellent downtown waterfront location it would be hard for any semi-imaginative person not to see how this place could be transformed into a magnificent brew pub.

Our buddy Mike visited for a week and in addition to trying out our charcoal grill we also went sightseeing and exploring all around the area.
