I spent the weekend in a place that looked a lot like this along the way and upon arrival. Many farms (many smells!), a lot of breeze as we drove and that meant a lot of sneezing. Allergens on high alert, bug guts on the windshield and surprisingly (or not), the peace and quiet of country roads and country living. In a country that is not my own.
Some of that time was spent with people who looked like this, doing a lot of that.....
some dressed like this in temperatures and humidity that would force most people indoors to escape the heat...
and I sat under skies that looked like this...
Upon Beth's recommendation, I did find a Panera and had a cinnamon crunch bagel (we don't have Land O' Lakes Butter here in Canada but I have since discovered that there are 3 Panera Breads here in Canada, in the area...none close to me but worth the drive!)...
and I tried the Fuji Apple Chicken Salad which was delicious...
I liked the bagel so much I had another one the next day...
Add some cross border shopping, some one-on-one time with the son who lives out of town 3/4 of the year and you have a great way to spend a weekend....even in the cloying heat....
omg omg omg.......you found a panera and had TWO cinnamon crunch bagels. you are now officially part of the club :)
ReplyDeletethey are fantastic, no ?
overall, i think you had a most perfect weekend !!!
xo
Take me away Panera!!!!! :D :D :D
ReplyDeleteYummy stuff from Panera ! We have those here too, so anytime you wanna come back this way...
ReplyDeleteSounds like some nice country living, Beautiful One. Stay cool !
Must say from a deprived English person the food and the heat sound a very winning combination. Never heard of those bagels and the chicken salad looked really good. It is cold and very wet here, well it's only July!
ReplyDeleteYes, I love my local Panera. And now I have the cinnamon thingee on my mind and thinking about bug guts on windows. Geez, I miss driving to places where I wipe out the bugs. OK, sounds like I need a vacation. Glad you had a glorious weekend, xoxo
ReplyDeleteI hope it's not as hot up North as it is down here in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteI love Panera, we have one very near us and it is Earl and my standing Saturday morning date to go for coffee and bagels:>)
