Geraniums by the Door

Geraniums by the Door

Yellow brick building with red brick detailing. Bricks are one of the oldest known building materials. The colour of brick depends on the amount of iron naturally found in the clay used. The "buff" or "yellow brick" commonly found in southwestern Ontario has less iron in it than the clay that produced the orange or red brick. The "Red brick" is more commonly found in the Windsor area, due to the clay deposits along the St. Clair River that have a higher iron content. Of course today, additives blended into the clay mixture can create different colors.

Invite to Party

Well it's been quite a year! When we started we were aiming to have a finished book by October 2013. There were times we had our doubts, but in the end everything worked out and we are going to meet that deadline with a day or two to spare. And we are so ready to celebrate!

We would love it if you could join us Nov. 16 at the Richmond Tavern, corner of Richmond and King streets.

Hope to see you there,

Cheers!
