A fun outing

Yesterday we celebrated my dear friend Lori's birthday...It was in March but we never got around to it! Mida, Rosemary, Lori and I went to Mastropietro Winery, very close to my house. It is a beautiful place. We had a blast and it was a little chilly but thank God for the fire pits!My friend Rosemary brought baked garlic (yummy!), brie and hot wings and I made some wraps. We also had some great Sunset wine and of course, a little cake!
I made Lori one of my flower pincushions.
We had a wonderful time!

The last beauties of summer

Fall is certainly here in Ohio...Beautiful as it is I dread the fact that winter will be here next...I am not fond of snow as many of you know...
I wanted to share with you some of the bounty...I did not do a lot of gardening this year because I was so busy getting things ready for my daughter's wedding...Still, we had some endless grape and cherry tomatoes and a huge tomato that my friend Dee who gave us the plants thought was a Brandywine but after closer inspection it is a 'Delicious' type tomato that was incredible!
Thanks Dee!
I hope you enjoy the pictures....
Also, my night blooming cereus bloomed and I wanted to share it with those who haven't seen the flowers yet......

I am also sharing some beautiful pictures of one of the prides of our area which is Millcreek Park.....what beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
