438 Deer Lake Rd.

This is my latest endeavour. Putting most of my loves under one roof. I have been talking for years about opening up the garage at the road into a little shop and this spring I did it. There is quite the collection of old things - old and interesting I call it. There are my scarves that I sell for $10 each to buy vitamins for my 32 kids in Mexico. There are pieces of my glass creations and other creative endeavours AND the big seller - jams, jellies, pickles ( including Sir John A. Mac Donald's original pickled egg recipe ) and surplus veggies from the garden.

Business has really picked up for the last two weekends as the tourists flood the area. You can find directions in the Almaguin Day Tripper brochure. I'm number 2.

Come for a browse soon. Saturday and Sunday from 10 to 4!!!!

What an awesome summer!!!

The river is quite low and oh so warm. We have spent hours floating around on the chairs or with a noodle. A great way to spend these incredibly hot days of the summer of 2011!!!



The veggies are doing great. We have purple and green beans available right now. I have made a second planting of peas. Garlic is just about ready to harvest and the carrots are getting there. Swiss chard looks good and tastes good but it needs some convincing for others to share it!!!! Garlic scapes are ready to pick. I sold some today!! I could probably harvest some potatoes any day now. Gardening is such a joy!!!!!!!

Lots of flowers!!!!

Amazing day lilies!!!! Purple and orange!!! What a combo!!!

Everything is growing like never before around here. The flowers are higher than ever before. There are more blooms per flower. The veggies are growing like crazy. The bush is gorgeous in all of its shades of green.

We have had great weather lately. Lots of hot days and cooler nights. The water in the river is nice and warm. This is just the best of times.

Come and join us!!!!!!!
