Fieldworks

A friends birthday was last week and she loves to explore and take pictures. So I had heard about an outdoor art exhibit and I thought a perfect way to spend the day. It is A Rural Open-Air Gallery for Site-Specific Art  -  Fieldwork Land Art Exploration. That is how the official write up goes. I even let munchkin skip school that day so she could come on our trip aka magical mystery tour. This is what my family always calls a local day trip. I posted a few pictures of the exhibit it was a perfect fall day and we spent approx. 2 hours wandering around in the woods and field. 
Afterwards we went to Perth a nearby town and had lunch and wandered around for a while. I found two thrift stores, two consignment stores, we also went to a great local coffee shop and stopped at a wonderful natural grocery store called Foodsmiths.(I always lament we do not have one of these closer to home)

Munchkin took lots of pictures on my phone this past month. She loves the feature where you can take a picture of yourself or even better herself and someone else. I also have been doing more day trips to some of the local communities like Cobourg and Picton.

So here are some images of some of the things that happened in the last month. All pictures from my phone which I am still trying to master. I apologize that it has been so long since my last post.
I have basically ignored the virtual world for the last month, guess I needed a break.

The Last While

A new sweater dress. Finally came across a sweater that went well with another one I had in my stash. Sometimes it takes a while to find the perfect sweater to complete the look. Then I have to find the original sweater which is EGADS. This often involves lots of digging and sometimes days as I am sure those house trolls hide things on me just for amusement. Also got a variety of golf shirt dresses done and some new jackets.
Went on a day trip with the family after spending the morning at a Habu Textiles sourcing talk in Picton. Have been wanting to go to a local goat cheese dairy, so after they picked me up we went for a bit of a drive. This is a wonderful structure that they have built outside the main building. It is made from reclaimed materials, being as green as possible is one of the company mandates. And their cheese is good too. We picked up some chevre and cheddar.
Here's munchkin posing in the parking lot.
