Cottage weekend in Consecon


I took a couple days off from work so I could have a 4 day weekend to visit my sister D and her family at their cottage in Consecon, Ontario. The weekend before was really hot and humid and I was hoping for this kind of weather while I was at the cottage, but alas, it was not meant to be. The weather was very strange over the weekend with dark, gloomy clouds and a hint of rain, and then the sun would come out and sometimes hide behind white, fluffy cumulus clouds.

My 2009 visit to Wolfe Island

Vicki and I spent this year's August long weekend on Wolfe Island visiting Lady M. It started with our bus trip from Ottawa to Kingston, and then lunch at the Pilot's House for fabulous fish and chips ... it was much better than the fish and chips we ate in Dublin, which was rather disappointing. After the Pilot's House, we did some errands and took the ferry over to Wolfe Island, where Lady M was waiting for us. On our ferry ride, we were provided with a view of the Windmills that have been recently were erected on the Island. They look very elegant with their clean lines and long stury base.
