Admiring this new Zim Art stone carving from the Zim Gallery in Bailieboro, as I was sitting on the outdoor patio watching the world go by.

The new website was to changeover today but there seems to a glitch/hold up with our current service provider (not very sporting, I have to say)....elmhirst.ca is up and running but we had hoped to have elmhirst.com also up and running - we will keep both .ca and .com current, just in case. Thank you for your patience as we move into the new look and feel of our new cyber home. Anxious to hear your comments.....in the meantime, look out for the meteor shower (in the sky).

Toronto is buzzing with the Rogers Cup (Tennis) - our Canadians are upsetting the top seeds and providing good entertainment value. Sidney Crosby (hockey) and Roger Federer (tennis) celebrate their birthdays during a break in the action.

Our Blue Jays are hot, hot, hot - if you are in the city you should catch a game.

Armchair sports fans - come and join us in the Wild Blue Yonder for daily events and sports talk.....occasionally the talk will turn to flying but don't worry, the pilots have to be home by dark!

Enjoy the dog days of summer! Wish you were here.........

Check out the new web site at our test address: www. elmhirst.ca

Comments appreciated as we go live tomorrow.

You just never know who will turn up for Lakeside Lunch.....I saw the Rolls and thought for sure it was Batman and Alfred. Wrong, but it was fun checking out the guests.

Anxiously awaiting the changeover of our new web site....we hope to transfer over on Wednesday night so the site may be down for awhile on Thursday. Please bear with us and wait for the new look.....I think you'll like it!

We met today to discuss the rates for 2011 and you will be delighted with the results. You asked for it so you shall receive a reward for being a Senior. Details to follow......all I can say is that if you stay midweek from September to June, for a minimum of 3 nights, you will save 25% on the rate.......

Pony ride at Free Spirit Riding Stables with Angie - before the rain. It was a great day for watching movies and playing charades (just kidding).

Fresh Ontario fruit from local markets - couldn't resist. Strolling down the stalls, visiting with your neighbours, sampling goodies and purchasing what you need to eat is a very civilized way to greet Saturday morning. Farmers Markets in Peterborough, Cobourg and Hastings are a favourite if you get out of bed early! Artisan breads and ethnic treats usually go quickly.

Woody Woodpecker dropped in for some peanuts today.....I waited for the laugh but he was too busy eating. The birds are starting to gather - isn't that a sign of autumn?

Rare sight - indoor swimming pool without any swimmers....doesn't happen often so I thought I would save the image.

It's been a lovely week - tomorrow will be sad as the international crowd says goodbye. See you all next year!
