I'm exposed to weddings almost every day + I'd be lying if I said that I didn't have a dream wedding perfectly planned in my head. Spoiler: it's on a vineyard. So when I was given the opportunity to attend the opening of
Painted Rock Estate Winery's tasting lounge to view this new venue firsthand, I giddily accepted. I also figured there would be wine there + that alone is usually enough for me.
Wine there was, along with beautiful views, cured meats + olives, ie: my favourite things. Thank you Painted Rock for the picturesque day. You have successfully convinced me that I...err, I mean the brides-to-be, could have an unbelievable wedding here.
I was one of those super annoying people who asked the event photographer to take a photo of me on my camera. I had to prove I was there, right?
When I found out Cruz + Anastasia were having their first little date at the pumpkin patch, I immediately jotted the day into my calendar without invitation. Think I would miss out on babies, farm sing along songs + delicious apples? I don't think so. Enjoy the cuteness!
When I was a kid I didn’t get it. I thought my dad's garden
was a waste of space, robbing me of valuable grass to play on. But now it all
makes sense. There really is a true joy in being able to pick herbs right from
your garden + watch a warm summer produce a beautiful tomato harvest. I know
summer collapsed into fall a few weeks ago, but on this Thanksgiving weekend, I
am thankful for growing up in a home where a bountiful garden was only one of
many food-related luxuries.
