Trenton

Saturday Nov 14th - My mom & I went to a few Christmas Craft & Bake sales in Trenton.
As we were driving around, this house caught my eye.

I asked my mom to drive by so I could take a photo of it. I love how it looks like a gingerbread house out of a Christmas story. The dark wood siding, the colorful shingles & the classy antique decals carved around the ledges.

Trenton really is not the most esthetically pleasing town. There are many 'sketchy' neighborhoods & ill cared for homes. But in some areas there are homes like the one above, that testify that Trenton once had a special classic beauty to it that has obviously been neglected.

I hope the people who live in this house know just how special of a home they have.

around the house

Good day all!
Today I thought I'd share with you some pictures from around the house.

THE Point.

THE Point, again.

7 acres of beauty.

The Bay of Quinte

Mat with our wonderful landlord, David. They were burning the brush & some drywall. It was a massive fire in the end.

Okay, so I didn't spot this dear on our property, but it wasn't that far away from our property. I wanted to capture a pic of her little baby fawn, but he was camera shy and dashed into the brush.

Seaweed grosses me out. I HATE the feel of it. *shivers* SO icky. But the lily pads are pretty cool. The yellow flowers are so pretty. Two seconds after this photo the rock I was standing on collapsed & fell into the water. I BARELY made it off in time.

*sigh* I love my bike.

Despite the beauty all around the property, this is still the best view of all.

Hope your weekend is going well!

It's a beautiful day

This was yesterday.

Beautiful, isn't it?

I have never seen water so blue.

Such a wonderful view

This is one of my favorite places on earth.

I wish I was still there. I could have stayed forever.

In case your wondering where this all is, its Sandbanks Provincial Park in Ontario.
It's now $15 dollars for a day pass into all Ontario Provincial Parks. Normally, in most other parks I would say its a rip off - but not Sandbanks. There is so much to see and do. So many beaches, and incredible sand dunes. It's worth every penny.

It reminded me so much of Rodondo Beach in California.
(except it was pretty freaking cold!)

So peaceful.

Then there's my brother-in-law, Phil. *laugh* He got totally soaked. The waves and the wind were pretty rough and they caught him off guard when he was too far out into the water. But while I was snapping photos...I failed to notice the waves coming at me as well. *laugh* It was a fun way to end the day - and a perfect way to spent part of the long weekend.

Today the hubby and I are house-hunting again! *woot* Cross your fingers for us!

What were you up to this long weekend?
