We next went into Smicksburg and had an Amish wedding feast at Thee Village Meetinghouse. Not a very good blogger, didn't take any photos of what we ate. Too busy eating! We then had time to shop. Patty who described the Amish wedding feast at the restaurant has the shop next door. Lots of country items and a cat who found its spot for a long afternoon nap. We then walked across to the Smicksburg Pottery and discovered they not only have beautiful pottery, but a lovely garden near the studio. I think this was my favorite spot. Lots of annuals which I always keep telling myself I need to plant and just a lovely space to spend some time. The owner's husband came out and told us that he has trouble getting his wife to make pots in the springtime because she would rather be in the garden! Duh!
The other pottery, The Mahoning Creek Pottery is only open by chance or appointment or during one of several festivals they hold in Smicksburg. Hopefully Bonnie and I will get back there next year and take The Herbal Husband with us! We also stopped at the Cheese Shop where they make their own cheeses and the Windgate Winery. All in all it was a great day.
I'm still picking raspberries and making jam. Tomorrow's batch will bring my total for the season so far to 120 jars and the raspberries are still producing! I need to get more sugar because I haven't even done all of the herbal jelly yet! Our weather is going to change by the end of the week. We may not have our first frost, but my pineapple sage has started to bloom so frost can't be too far behind!

What a great post! I felt like I was right with you visiting these wonderful little spots. They are so old and quaint! FL is so over populated and modern, at least this far south, and visiting your blog this morning was a breath of fresh air.
ReplyDeleteYou in spire me with all that you do.
May you and HH have a very nice weekend. Enjoy your chilly weather. Yesterday the real feel temp was 102. YIKES! I stayed indoors.
Love and hugs ~ FlowerLady
Gotta love a town called Smicksburg - what a great name! Farm stands are extra beautiful this time of year aren't they....you must have had a very fun trip. Love the broken pottery edging and your pineapple sage looks wonderful. Mine not so much due to the cooler summer I guess though my other herbs look like thry are on steroids.
ReplyDeleteYikes, FL, hope you stay cool! Visiting little towns in other counties is fun! Thanks for your kind comments as always! Got to visit your blog! xo
ReplyDeleteDon't you love that name TO! It was a strange summer here as well. Fortunately we have had enough rain! Thanks for coming by! xo
