A Perfect Day

This seems like the right time to share my photo essay on a perfect day in summer.  These pictures were all taken at the O'Hara Mill, near Madoc, Ontario - it dates back I think as far as 1850 - and if you're in the area, you don't need me to tell you it's very pretty there.

I was there before its operating hours had begun, so it was peaceful and quiet (and just enough buggy even in open areas for me to feel a whole lotta compassion for the people who lived and worked here in the time before our current arsenal of insect repellent. owie owie!)

Everything about that particular morning reminded me of every perfect sunny day from my childhood summers.  I hope it brings some of yours back too. 

That scarecrow a few pictures along waved at me after I took her picture - just a gentle breeze, but endearing all the same.

Have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you on Monday, with knitting!
