It was so wonderful to get out of the house last Friday after hearing about my friend passing. We headed toward The Amador Flower Farm in Shenandoah Valley in Plymouth. Shenandoah Valley is well known in California for their fine wines. There are miles of beautiful vineyards and tasting rooms. The Flower Farm sits in the middle of all the vineyards. We have been there several times. In the summer the flowers are in full bloom and gorgeous.
But, on our way we stopped in Sutter Creek at Susan's Place Wine Bar and Eatery for a delightful lunch. Now, I had been there in the past but it had been a long time ago. If you don't know about this place you probably would pass through town and miss out on this lovely experience.
It is on a side street (Eureka Street) and from the front you have no idea what a delightful and comfortable restaurant awaits you.
Can you feel the Ambiance?
One of the Days Specials was Corned Beef Hash on Vegetables and I had to try it along with Cream of Asparagus Soup. I have never had anything like it - and - it was delicious! The flavors were interesting, subtle and very tasty.
Much to my surprise my coffee was served on a tray with a Coffee Press (quite English - don't you think?) and it was very good.
My friend selected Shrimp Sesame Salad for lunch which he enjoyed.
Along with a couple glasses of wine and we were all set for total enjoyment. Oh, and we did succumb to having desert but we shared. Less calories - right!
With full tummies we traveled through the vineyards to the flower farm. By now the daytime was slipping away and when we arrived they were starting to close. I was not able to visit the gift shop and nursery. But, that was quite fine with me because I wanted to see their Pumpkin Patch which is quite extensive.

The Farm is quite Huge. The nursery specializes in Daylilies as you can see on the sign. I think this gives you an idea of the expanse of this beautiful nursery. When the daylilies are in bloom it is almost breathtaking.

The nursery carries a wide varieties of plants.

The weather was wonderful, sunny with a beautiful blue sky.

A Great Crooked House. So fun!

It was a great outing and was good for my soul. If you know what I mean.

Maybe, this should be my Halloween costume! Not.
