shakespeare ontario: Foto Friday - Shakespeare Conservation Area - Shakespeare, Ontario - 09/23/11 03:06 PM
Shakespeare Conservation Area is a quiet little spot great for picnics, hikes in the forest, fishing, or just reading and watching the geese and great blue heron.
It is located just north of Shakespeare, also known as one of Ontario's antique hot spots between Kitchener-Waterloo & Stratford.
If you haven't heard of Shakespeare, I'm sure it's neighbour to the west, Stratford is more of a household name. Perhaps due to the famous Stratford Shakespeare Festival, or perhaps for being the home of one Justin Bieber.
But getting back to the Conservation Area, on a recent visit I noticed that all of … (14 comments)

shakespeare ontario: Stratford Heritage Weekend - June 3 - 5, 2011 - 05/30/11 12:02 AM
The City of Stratford, Ontario will be hosting their annual Heritage Weekend on June 3rd - 5th. I have already checked off the events that I'm interested in attending.
I am a history nut so that's part of the reason that so many of the weekend events appeal to me. Here is how the www.welcometostratford.com website describes the weekend festiviities.
"Come celebrate the rich heritage of Stratford, St. Marys and Shakespeare on June 3-5 at the Stratford Spring Heritage Weekend with an antiques fair; special guided walks of antique shops and carriage tours of Stratford's heritage district; St. Marys "Once Upon … (6 comments)

shakespeare ontario: Backroads Ontario - Shakespeare Conservation Area - 05/10/11 11:07 PM
Shakespeare, Ontario is well known for its antique stores, quilt and home decor shops, pie and bakeshop, and stop off spot for tourists on their way to Stratford to see a play at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival.
Just a mile or so north of the only stoplight in Shakespeare you will find the Shakespeare Conservation Area. This is one of my new favourite spots to take Lola for a walk. You can walk all around the pond which is bordered by farmer's fields. The large trees are home to many varieties of birds.
Shakespeare Conservation Area is a day use only park … (7 comments)

shakespeare ontario: I Will Buy My Dream Home When......... - 05/05/11 11:05 PM
I saw this cute little piggy bank when I visited the Best Little Pork Shoppe down the road in Shakespeare, Ontario. I happened to have my camera with me and thought it was worth taking a picture of because it got me thinking.
I tried to think of ways to end the sentence. I tried to think of ways my buyers would end the sentence. And I'm curious as to how you would all finish the sentence.
I think most of us have an idea of what our dream home would be. I always pictured an old stonehouse out in … (8 comments)

shakespeare ontario: Happy Easter - And Here's To New Traditions - 04/24/11 01:23 PM
This is the first Easter in my new home and community. Yesterday I decided to check out some of the local shops in preparation for Easter dinner for my family.
The majority of groceries I needed were going to be picked up at the local Zehrs store in Stratford. But on the way to Stratford I just had to stop in at my favourite stores in the village of Shakespeare. The well known Best Little Pork Shoppe has just reopened for the season.
I left there with some wonderful smoked chops and the best peameal bacon I've ever tasted. Some home … (10 comments)

shakespeare ontario: Speechless Sunday - Shakespeare Sunset - 02/13/11 11:41 PM
I took this photo this evening through my sister's dining room window. I was invited to share the birthday celebration for her twin sons who were turning 19.
My sister and her husband live on a dairy farm in Shakespeare, Ontario, Every evening they get to view the sun setting from their dining room.
Everytime I get to experience this sunset view I'm in awe. Two weeks ago I moved 7 minutes from her farm. I'm quickly getting to love small town living. As I grabbed my camera my brother inlaw asked me if we didn't have sunsets in Oakville where … (25 comments)

shakespeare ontario: Thoughtful Thursday - You Can Take The Girl Out Of The Country - But Not Forever - 09/02/10 10:56 AM
You've heard the old saying "You can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl." I did some searching on Google to see where that saying originated but couldn't find much, only a few country music songs.
If you live in a city and need some relief from the noise, traffic, pollution, etc., head for the country. Hop in the car and point it towards Rural Route anywhere. The quiet country roads provide amazing scenery. Horses and cows grazing, beautiful farm properties, old stone houses, colourful barns, many in disrepair but full of … (18 comments)
