Happy, Happy Sunday!!
Here's hoping that your Slo Mo Sunday has been amazing so far and that you are basking in this glorious summer season.
If you have been following my posts, you know that I relentlessly post about making sure that you include relaxation in your schedule regularly and that it is paramount to living a healthy and sustainable life. Everyone's idea of relaxing is very different; some like to listen to music, some like to spend the day in the kitchen baking, maybe it is going for a nice long walk or watching a movie, or maybe it is a leisurely game of golf.
Whatever it is just make sure that you fit it it somehow!
As you know, hubby and I love our drives out into the country. We find that it is a way for us to reduce our stress levels, it calms our minds and gives us such an invigorating feeling. Today, we left our home quite early, we packed up some fruit snacks and water and headed out to an area about a half hour north of us which is primarily farmlands. We prefer to cut through all the sidelines that are off the beaten paths while exploring all the country roads looking for historic buildings, interesting shops and of course local produce from the farmers.
Our drive this morning was simply tremendous, the weather was just what the Doctor ordered and we snapped all kinds of pictures. We would love to own a hobby farm someday as we are absolutely crazy about farm animals, particularly cows and we certainly saw our share of them today as well. Here are a couple of pics from our scenic drive this morning.
Enjoy!
gorgeous field of wheat
here a soy farm (growing in the foreground) has grown a tree fence to separate land from the adjacent farm.
yellow, lavender and green of nature - it's a lovey colour scheme!
one of those sidelines off the beaten path - wow look at that corn
he doesn't look too impressed with us does he? But he sure is cute!
this might be the brother telling us to beat it!
not really feeling the love from this guy either
this turret was in the middle of no where - love the wrought iron piece beside it
would have loved it for a DIY project and now that I think about it, why didn't I just take it??
great windows in this lovely church
and this is the stately entrance to Hanover Farm - can you imagine the house at the end of this driveway?
this is not my preferred style of home; my husband would move in, in a heartbeat.
as a designer I can certainly appreciate the workmanship in this Heritage Home.
these last three pics are from the beach (Lake Ontario) just behind our home
We thought this would be a fabulous way to conclude our amazing drive in the country and it surely was. We just sat for a while on the stone ruins, chatted about our road trip and how we might spend the balance of our Slo Mo Sunday.
How did you spend your day??
