Monica and I decided to get out of the house on the Saturday before Father’s Day. The skies were gray but perfect for snapping photos so off we went to visit the Kingsbrae Gardens in Saint Andrews. We wanted specifically to see the Miss Satomi dogwood in bloom and it did not disappoint. Irises and azaleas were also stunning as were the lilacs and lupines.
After our garden tour, we went for lunch at the Niger Reef Cafe. Excellent Curry Chicken sandwich for Mon and Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf for me. Dessert was strawberry-rhubarb crisp and carrot cake. Yummy!
To top it all off, on the way back to Saint John, we took a side trip into Blacks Harbour to see the stained glass windows of Stella Maris Catholic Church. I was over the moon to see the five Guido Nincheri windows along with the windows of four other glass artists. What a wonderful mix of artwork in this church. I couldn’t have enjoyed this day more. Looking forward to tomorrow.

spectacular, Nelson…just reading your post and looking at the photos added joy to my day. And the one photo of you and Mon in the mirror brought back happy happy memories of a day the girls went there a few years ago. The stained glass is amazing. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
Lovely pics, love the one of Moni and the lupins!
Beautiful garden, pictures … and PEOPLE!
Thank you Ralph. 🙂
What a wonderful day! Such beautiful pictures. I know how much Monica loves lupines..me too. I was disappointed when the province took “The picture province” off the NB licence plates. It truly is just that. Hills, valleys, rivers, covered bridges, Bay of Fundy and so much more! Although it’s great to travel the world, one doesn’t have to travel outside NB to see such beauty.
