Maple Grove Tea Room

It was a gorgeous Sunday afternoon, so we took a drive out along the Red River, to a historic house, now home to a nice little tea room. The view of the river was outstanding, the desserts were “scrummy”, and the conversation was pleasant. 008-4-1 The home  was built in 1866 by Captain William Kennedy an explorer, entrepreneur and trader. Three rooms are a provincial historic museum.

I'm amazed that the house was built in 1866! When I think of the buildings in my Ontario community, I can't recall anything that NICE that is that old. I'm impressed. I'm glad it's being preserved as a museum.

I think I know where that tea house is! I have driven by it many times and wondered about it. I have a friend who would LOVE it. I shall have to take her there. Thanks for the idea!

The Soft Colours of Summer

Image
I love hydrangeas, and although we can grow the Limelight and Annabelle varieties fairly easily here in Manitoba, it is only recently that with some luck, we can overwinter Endless Summer. Endless Summer blooms in pink in our lime soil, unless we feed it with copper sulphate to bring out the blue . Last week, after a rainstorm, I noticed how soft and pretty the colours were. I am joining in with Monday Mosaics at Mary's. What lovely contributions we find over there every week, and thanks, Mary! *****Click on the photo to enlarge*****
