COTTAGE LIVING


This company called "Yummies in a Jar" is a small but mighty company that makes awesome jams and jellies locally.   The taste is awesome!  Some of the jams have unique names which I will get when next I go to Robinson's General Store, in Dorset. That store is small but had just about anything
one would need from soup to
nuts and bolts! 

Robinson's, was voted the best General Store in Canada one year.  Really a great place to shop and visit and this year,  
they brought in local products, the jams and also local maple syrup.  How lucky are we?
 


I am sewing up a storm.  Still don't have the mojo working on the fingers, but am doing what I want to do...hence the little sign today.  You should
do what makes you happy too!

We have had glorious weather, and yesterday sitting out after dinner, the dog went crazy....sure enough the pesky beaver appeared!  We wondered if the water being so high if the den had survived.  Must have cause the little guy was looking for his small trees to chop down.  Heh!  This is wild country, so he deserves to live free!  Even though he helps himself to lots of saplings.

I have completed a baby quilt, only hand sewing on the binding to do and made blocks for a disappearing nine patch.  It is very very busy, which is my meaning that white needs to be added to finish it.

All the years we drove through Dorset and we never stopped at the General Store. We'll have to remedy that situation.
