Description
We have been shopping at Wendy's Country Market for years. Wendy was doing a brisk business with spring plants on the Sunday afternoon of the Rural Community Expo Event in June 2023. We also enjoy the fresh produce and home baking. I saw a yam that her Dad had grown that weighed in at more than four pounds! Growing a crop takes much more than simply putting the seed in the ground. You can find Wendy's Country Market at 408 Fortune Line Road, Lyndhurst, ON K0E 1N0, Phone: (613) 561-2177.
I wanted to stay conspicuous for the visitors to the Rural Community Expo. I thought that standing in front of Wendy's would be a good place to stand and paint. There were still no clouds in the sky so I focussed on the architecture. A large and nearly stationary ridge of high pressure had been dominating the weather all weekend. Omega block patterns in the atmosphere have become much more common with the weakening jet stream but that is another story.
I kept the sun on my back and constructed a composition by looking northerly across the ramp leading into the front door of Wendy's Country Market. Lots of people came by including a gentleman I thought was a friend named "Jim". It turned out that I had not met the man before but he was extremely surprised that I did know his name! What are the odds?
The Rural Community Expo Event of 2023 was excellent and promoted the area in a positive and productive manner. It was a wonderful day in the country enjoyed by many.
