canada day - high tea in a lavender blue wonderland

143 !!  canadas birthday july 01 2010
heres how 3 pooches celebrated our holiday
please note... some of these pics belong to  pooch LL and some are mine.   usually i took the same shot but mine sucked because i use a cell phone cam, hers are nicer/clearer. :) thanks LL

we found this park on our travels.  pretty sure it was belmont ontario.

im guessing this would be referred to as a patriotic breakfast.  coffee and doughnut with maple leafs on it from the famous tim hortons
ahhhh, lavender.  the following shots are from our visit to the lavender farm in sparta ontario.
we just walked around enjoying the relaxing aroma.  too bad the computer isnt scratch' n'sniff

heres their site

and there we are.  enjoying and taking it all in.  thats pooch LL ninja in the front, pooch special k with the hat and me pooch lola.

to be continued.....
upcoming post includes the high tea wonderland portion of the day

    O Canada! Love your donuts. Could move there for them. We get them here but not as many varieties I suspect. Except for the mosquitoes which is Minnesota's state bird. Still I hear the call of the New World again.

    I do like the park with the big flag on the lawn, very patriotic indeed. The tiny maple leaves on the doughnuts look great too, though I personally would not have them for breakfast, I am a fruit kind of breakfast girl, nice for lunch though,I just love the smell of lavender.
    My Pizza of Chicken with plum sauce, was hardly typically Italian, but it was delicious with pieces of chicken on the pizza base and lovely plum sauce instead of BBQ or tomato sauce. it just took our fancy at the time and tasted good.

    It seams really strange that a country has a birthday! but I'm glad it was a happy one!

    Love the lavender fields - it is an amazing plant!
    I think us brits need to rethink our own national breakfast - yours looks miles tastier!
