Paint Party Friday

During our recent trip to Golden Lake, hubby read, whilst I sketched.
My dear, far away friend, Jean, made me a quilted bag, in which I carry my drawing kit. There is is on the chair! Thank you, Jean. You are a wonderful woman.

Eva and Kristin's Paint Party Friday! 

Home through Eganville, Douglas, Arnprior

We took advantage of the sunny beginning to the week.
Day 1 on Golden Lake
Day 2 on Golden Lake

This was our drive home Monday, Sept. 25th.
We took a drive through along highway 60, along through Renfrew,  to Douglas, hugging the Ottawa River. Through Eganville, with great big fields, lying golden in the sunshine.

Delightful, old log homes from back in the day. The hay hay been cut, I hope the farmers are happy. Many are beginning to create silage for winter.
 Through there, to Braeside, where the last train went through. Hubby has a picture of that! We ate lunch in Arnprior. We were home by 3 p.m., thankfully.



Lunch in Arnprior. I honked and scared a couple of customers. No one came, either. We just walked in. Lunch on the patio, in 33 degree heat! It was delightful.



A big bee decided to take a sip of my water. JB rescued it with the straw. It flew up, thanked him, and flew away happily.



Arnprior, a couple of hours after we left... How sad. Enjoy each day.
A woman was killed, backing out of her driveway around 5:30 p.m., after a man stole a truck and fled police.

Fatal collision in downtown Arnprior

Day 2 on Golden Lake

Monday morning Sept. 25th, I just can't get enough of that tree! Hubby's shirt matched it! The lake is very shallow. It was so good to go in for a swim. Lots of other patrons had left in the morning. We extended the 11 a.m. checkout to noon, relaxed, and had another swim. It's a lovely beach, very shallow, with sand.


This is highly unusual for south eastern Ontario. There will be a big drop, back to normal September temperatures, on Thursday. It will be a bit of a shock, methinks.
