A Visit to Jones' Farm . . .








On Friday, Jim was off from work so we drove to our favorite local farm for some lunch and to pick up some Irish Soda Bread for Friday night's feast.  Jone's Farm is in Cornwall and is the best little place to visit for an hour or two.  They now have their cafe opened.  Not many food choices but what they offer is so good that you don't need a lot of choices.  

Outdoor patio covered in snow. 

These were our views from our table . . .


Some of last year's sunflowers.




 It wasn't just about winter.  There were some signs of spring as well!!




Jim ordered the fish tacos while I opted for the marinated eggplant, red roasted peppers and fresh mozzarella with pesto on a toasted brioche bun.  Absolutely delicious!! 

After lunch, we ordered our bread and some cookies and I took a few photos while waiting for everything to be boxed up.  



They have a wonderful gift shop upstairs but we didn't visit it this time around.  Instead we stopped to take a few more photos of the barnyard crew. 




There was so much snow piled up in front of the barnyard fence that I couldn't get close enough to feed or pet any of the animals.  Otherwise, I'm the first to put my hand in to pet them.  : )


Catching some rays!!


This beauty came over to the car looking for food.  Jim was not going to give up any of the Irish Soda Bread!!  : )




Here's to a very happy Monday and a very happy first day of spring!!  xo

An Afternoon at Jones' Farm . . .


























Last week we had a couple of days off from school so we called two of our favorite people, Ophie and Cybele from the "old" neighborhood and invited them up for our annual autumnal visit to Jones' Farm.  It was a beautiful day.  The chickens and roosters and other assorted farm animals were out basking in the sun.  Even Miss Fern, the GINORMOUS pig waddled out of the barn to enjoy the day.  This was only the second time she's been out when we've been there.  She wagged her tail when we spoke to her.  I had no idea pigs did that!!  Lol!!!  We had lunch in their new cafe and then climbed the stairs to the gift shop.  I honestly could go crazy in there but I left with only a small fall wreath for the dining room.  Oh, and apple cider donuts and homemade cookies!!!  My sons would not have been too happy with me if they knew I had been to Jones' Farm and not brought back some baked goodies.  : )

I have a busy weekend ahead.  Tomorrow night my honey and I are attending my cousin's wedding and Saturday I'll be donating my time to Hi Tor, our local animal shelter, to take photos of dogs in their Halloween costumes as part of a fundraiser for them.  I can't tell you how much I love to photograph these events!!!  : )

I know it's a day early but happy and safe weekend everyone!!  ~ Wendy 



P.S.  I forgot to mention that The Walking Dead returns on Sunday night!!!!!!!  I'm excited and scared all at the same time.  If you're a fan of the show you'll understand why!!!  Am I right Mrs. Sage and Spirit???
