The Farmer's Only Daughter: Back Home On The Farm: Easter Weekend!

Man, oh man, "The only thing I gave up for lent this year was my self control" was a pretty accurate statement made by my brother Harley as we dug into our final meal of the long weekend...

If I could have worn stretchy pants to work this morning I think I'd be feeling a lot less guilt as I sit here resisting the urge to undo the top button of my jeans...

I don't know what came over me, but I'm telling you, I was a bottomless pit!! So much goodness...(shaking my head) we had perogies, ham, turkey casseroles, cakes, cookies baked inside other cookies, beer, wine, marshmallows, marshmallows roasted AND dipped in Baileys!??? It was ridiculous and I deserve the 5 pound gut I'm sporting today... : )

It was such a lovely weekend though...such beautiful weather, lots of family, lots of fun... here's a few snap shots... I hope you enjoy....

Queenston Heights

Brock's Monument

Niagara on the Lake

We found some wooden eggs from my Nanny's toll painting days so I obviously insisted on a craft...

A walk out and about around the farm

Harley taking in the vitamin D

Another hike in Shorthills

And then we got lost..

but we found our way thankfully, no thanks to me... I just silently followed along thinking of different disaster scenarios... : )

When we got back Harley and I decided on a theme for the festivities...Denim and wolves.

GARLIC

Dad in triple denim taking it to a whole other level...

All denim, all the time... : )

And the wolf pack!

soaking up some rays...

And the flock...

We were trying to pick up a lamb but only Ramses would have anything to do with us...

More walks around the farm... There's a hill in the back that our great, great grandparents used to dump stuff so every now and again we try our luck with a treasure hunt. All I found was antique garbage. I need a metal detector next time.
