A lovely 1800s Day...

Good Evening my dears..

Hope you had an enjoyable weekend..

Terry and I took Saturday and had a lovely day visiting and 1800 village a couple of hours away..

I took a lot of pics but I promise not to bore you with them all..

Here are a dozen...OK?  smile..

It is located on the famous St. John River...

The fireplaces were all lit and they were cooking lunch when we arrived...

This house is almost my favorite one..  I think..

One day they served the Keepers of the Home apple pie and tea...

It was cold and they were so kind to us..

Homemade Dill Pickle Spears which they will sell at the Thanksgiving weekend..

Don't they look delicious?

So many windows had red geraniums in them..

This pic has the horse team working outside..

Look close and you will see them.. smile..

I love the shades in this parlour..

And the dishes are wonderful...

Sometimes this window sill has vinegars but the lady of the house told me they had all been put away...

My darlin' of a hubby took me out for lunch at the Kings Head Inn..

We had corn chowder and the bread basket..

biscuits, brown bread and baguette..

Homemade butter

AND

Fresh tea and a Berry Desert with whipped cream..

So very good...

Every house had their wood all cut..

The horses taking a breather...

One of my favorite pantries with fresh herbs in pots..

Some handwork..

braided mat...

It was apple fest on Saturday and all the homes offered us a different type of apple treat..

They had homemade apple butter, apple and cinnamon bread and an apple cake here..

There was also apple pies and squares...

Tiny pieces so we could try everything.. grin..

On the way back home we came the old way down by the river and stopped at the big veggie places..

I will share a recipe tomorrow with some lovely veggies we picked up...

Thank  you so much for dropping by and to the faithful ones who leave such sweet comments.. Thank you so much..

I am going to try and answer your questions here on the blog from now on as my emails are not getting through to some of you..

OK? 

I just wanted to say Happy Birthday to our oldest son today.. 

Trevor is a wonderful son and Dad to 3 of our 5 grandsons.. 

Happy Birthday,  dear ... 

We love you.. 

God bless you all...
