grassfyre @ clifford tractor pull - pt 1

i didnt think that this event would need to be a 2 part post, but there are just so many cool tractor photos that cutting it short is not an option

here we go

i found out that my dads band.... grassfyre, was playing at this event

http://www.cliffordrotary.ca/

in this link you will find a schedule of events where it lists bluegrass festival sunday 2:00 pm

pooch JP and pooch raspberry met me there as they have known my dad since we were teens

i decide to surprise my dad as this event is only about one hour drive and i havent seen my pa and step mum in a long time;

maybe almost a year. i dont know.

here are a few shots of the tractor pull

no, thats not my dad....but they are cute

its a pretty serious event in these parts

check out the rules

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

to be continued.....
