August has flown by. It was a very warm month but finally got enough rain to turn everything green again..
How did I spend my time? Worked on Christmas tags What you say? Will save that for another post.
Went to a Sunday Brunch at a local garden center Heeman's. There were 7 booths of London restaurants there featuring strawberries which Heeman's are renown for.

| round tables in main greenhouse nicely decorated with geraniums. |
 |
| traditional waffle with strawberries, mascarpone cheese and candied rosemary from Garlics. Good My favourite was , |
Warm caramelized shallot tart brushed with citrus infused Monforte sheep's cheese finished with macerated strawberries a cedar crème fraiche burnt Soiled Reputation honey and aged balsamic and black pepper caviar..

 |
| For a beverage from Only on King a White Balsamic strawberry fennel shrub., went with strawberry bacon jam on egg toast. |
 |
| Finished up trying Grassroots cornbread with apple and sage sausage with spicy ketchup. Was a great venue and if Heeman's holds this event again will so go. It was the first time they tried this. Off then to Appleland's pre season tent sale , apples are just starting here. Will go back once apples are in full swing.  To finish up August my travels a leisurely drive to Kincardine to have a peek at Lake Huron and visit The Saltbox Shoppe looking for a ladder.
Strolled along the Lions boardwalk .
   Note the birdhouse made from an old honey pail......
I was lucky to find an artisan fair in the park besides the playhouse.
 Beautiful park but no purchases.  Quick stop at a yummy cheese shop. Who knew they would have Chocolate cheese....So did I get my ladder? I did .. Nope not a regular ladder an old wooden one, inspired by one my daughter Rosanne has in her living room . Wanted it to hold all the special quilts my Mother had made over the years and gifted me... 
Like the homey feeling. Just can't bring myself to use them..

What a great way to spend your Sunday. Right now I'm getting hungry and want go exploring. Summer has been way too hot here with weeks going by and getting little done in the yard. Your Mom's special quilts are stunning and so many, you have treasures that will last a life time.
All of the food looked delicious! The rusty garden decor always attracts me, too. Love the idea of a ladder to display your quilts, I can never bring myself to use them either. :-)
Wow, that's a lot of stuff. The food looks delicious!!! I love strawberries and anything caramelized. Love that pipe lamp. And you got your ladder, very cool. It looks great with the quilts. I hope my kids cherish my knitted items someday as much as you care for your mom's quilts.
