The sprawling gardens surrounding the antique cape with weathered shakes offered the remains of flowering perennials and herbs, giving one last show before going to bed for the winter months. Nestled on the edge of the gardens was the Drying Shed whose name says it all!
After touring the garden and gift shops... filled with lots of delicious spices, seasonings, mixes, teas and more... we sat down to a delicious gourmet, 5 course lunch in the house's dining room.
First course was a delicious garden vegetable dip with crackers followed by Summer's End Soup full of vegetables and herbs. A pinwheel with mixed greens garden salad came next with Sunflower Nut Bread. For the main course I had a vegetable crepe with a creamy herb sauce that was absolutely heavenly.
Dessert was strawberry rhubarb pie! (OK, I passed on that one but I did bring it home for hubby!) Everything was asbsolutely delicious and coming from me that says a lot as I'm not a vegetable lover and would typically eat a PB&J sandwich for lunch! I just may be a changed woman now!
It was a beautiful day with great company and fantastic food! I can't wait to bring mom there! I know she'll love it!
Thank you for a lovely day, Mary!!

What an awesome place!!! Could even be called "magical" if you actually willingly ate veggies LOL!!
Oh Daphne what a treat to read about your visit to Pickity Place! We have a long standing tradition of spending a summer day there once a year, only now you have me wondering if we ought to make it for the autumn instead.
PS-thanks for the link to the "goldilocks" hair...what great selections they have. It's only a matter of narrowing down my selections and then of course actually doing the work!

natalie, I can't wait to go in October (gee, that's tomorrow)... the menu looks delicious. They have the menu online for every month of the year... I think I'll have to make it a monthly outing... you and I should meet there one day!
Strawberry rhubarb pie sounds scrum!
