The weather this past weekend was beautiful! It was really hot in the sun, but perfect in the shade. With such sunny skies Mr. WRBP and I headed south, mid morning, to enjoy the season. This is where we ended up!
Holmes County, Ohio. This photo is actually not from Saturday. Now the trees have all their leaves. It was a beautiful sea of green. This is exactly where we were though.
We usually avoid the large tourist areas and just like taking in the views. The back roads are the most interesting. It’s still a bit early so there wasn’t a lot of produce available. We did pick up free range eggs so that was nice. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to live this far out but it’s nice to be able to take a short trip to an area that is so different than our everyday world. The way the Amish work the fields is like watching art being created.
I really appreciate when a different mood hits we’re able to head north, not nearly as far as Holmes County, and we’re here!
WestSide Market, Cleveland, Ohio. One of the oldest markets that is still very much the same as it was 100 years ago. This place is always packed. The vendors have been there for years. It’s still the Mom and Pop businesses. It’s nice to see a different kind of tradition continue. Growing up in the city I can relate to this world more, but I love having both worlds near by.
We seem to spend a lot of time on the weekends checking out food!
How was your weekend?
Best,
Kathy
Hi Kathy!
I have the book Mrs. Whaley’s Garden. I even toured her garden a few years ago. It is beautiful. Thank you for stopping by.

What a beautiful place! My hubby is from Pittsburgh and that first photo reminds me when we stayed at a Bed and Breakfast in Avella, PA that was also a working farm. I’m with you … I avoid the crowds and explore the roads less traveled.
Kathy,
What a beautiful countryside. It must be wonderful to be able to travel such a short distance and encounter such a serene landscape.
LOL. I’m totally on board with plenty of food exploration while out and about.

Hi Kathy!
That first photo is just beautiful.
