What's on this weekend? Strawberry suppers and other greatest hits!

Decisions, decisions....perennial favourites abound, take your pic.

Experience the culinary delight that is the Newfie breakfast at the Chester Basin Legion or the 'hands on' touch of old ladies at the Lunenburg Legion Breakfast.

Strawberries are in season, and with them come strawberry suppers. A word of caution, not all of these suppers use fresh strawberries. Call in advance or ask at the door to avoid bitter disappointment.

The roast beef supper in Blue Rocks is tasty comfort food, but be prepared for a wait as this is a popular event!

Reversi Resplendent Rhodo's

The Rhodo's around the county are starting to fade, so here's the other side of the shot from yesterday.

Resplendent Rhododendrons Run Rampant!

I had to pull over and take a shot of these excellent rhododenron specimens, before the blossoms fade...or a big wind/rain storm knocks them off prematurely. A great sight on the longest day of the year.

Such lush colours around the county these days...I'm in love.

Welcome home, Picton Castle!

The Barque Picton Castle, anchored in Rose Bay Saturday, July 18th.

It was returning from its fifth circumnavigation voyage around the world.

Time to fix this one up

This 'ole beast might need to get resurrected after all this rain, the lawns are going to go crazy at the first sign of sun....whenever that is. Spotted back in April in Lunenburg.

This day could use some brightening...

I reckon these daffodils should do the job...

Not ready to say goodbye to the forsythia

I've posted a picture of this house before, I love that shade of blue...especially with some gorgeous forsythia yellow as an accent colour. Sigh....
