The summer seems to have evaporated and we are already half way through September in the blink of an eye.  With the changing seasons, cooler nights and still warm (or hot!) days, the leaves are beginning to show some colour and fall produce is being offered in abundance.

The harvest season also welcomes the annual fall fairs and pow-wows in the area.

If you are looking for something to do, it isn't too far a drive to reach any of the farming communities where you can enjoy the sights and sounds, not to mention the foods. Many memories can be made walking the paths lined with trucks and stalls offering cotton candy or a game of chance or skill where you might just win a big stuffed toy to carry home. Check out Wyoming, Forest, and Brooke-Alvinston fairs this month. Don't forget the famous Brigden Fair next month!

The Harvest Moon PowWow on Walpole Island is where you can experience some of the best dancers and drums which the Great Lakes have to offer. Come support local First Nation Craft and Food vendors. This a free and open event to the public, donations are greatly appreciated!

Autumn flies by quickly, so get out there and enjoy the sunshine! Bask in the nostalgia, be open to new experiences, and make some wonderful memories.

We were so excited to get the professional photos back today! There's a bit of touch-up needed here and there, but for the most part, we're able to start building the website again. In the meantime, here's a peek ....
​
A special thanks to Brenden at beeyourselfmedia.com!

​Updating some of the pictures from a few days ago ...

After 11 months, the construction phase is finished and our final inspection is today!
With just a few last minute details left to wrap up, we are already accepting bookings for Bed & Breakfast guests as well as group retreats. The atrium can also be booked for your next meeting or seminar.
​
Over the next short while our website will be under renovation to bring all our information up to date with professional pictures and a crisp new format. In the meantime, if you would like to reserve a room, please email us and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Here's a peek inside, starting with the 700²ft atrium which will offer tropical ambiance in all four seasons. The kitchenette is well equipped with a full size fridge, electric range, microwave, dishes, etc. for our guests to use.

It's hard to believe that it's been just two years since the pond was dug and the wetland area started.  It's teaming with life and bursting with colour.

The long awaited framing for the atrium glass has begun! Erie Glass should have the atrium enclosed by the end of the week, then the rest of the trades can finish up - electricians, plumbers, drywallers, painters, etc.

After the epoxy floor is in, the kitchenette can be installed, stairs and chair lift to the deck set in place, and painting completed.

In the first week of May, we hope to have the four cement patios poured, front and back of the atrium, and outside each of the two main floor bedrooms.
​
Shopping for beds, linens, furnishings, etc. has started, and Sipkens Nurseries, Sarnia, should begin work on their landscaping design (with mostly native plants) by end of May. Still lots to do, but the atrium glass is key to this last push to the finish.
