Extended stay in PEI

 

948 Center Line Road, 1, Elmsdale, PE, C0B 1K0, Canada (470691)

Date of Stay
July 12, 2014

We stayed at the wonderful Jeffery Homestead in West Prince PEI and loved it. The homestead is very comfortable and well equipped for any length of stay. There is everything the you might need while traveling, plus some. Especially appreciated having internet connection as well as WiFi and use of a local telephone. There is much to explore in the area and the hosts made it easy to know where to go with all the information about the island and things to do (especially the owner prepared list of 100 things to do locally). Enjoyed our time on the local golf course of St. Felix, 9 hole yet challenging and well maintained. Would highly recommend to anyone coming to PEI West end, to consider this Vacation Rental site. We thank the owners for being such wonderful hosts.

Sunflowers in bloom

     I've been waiting all summer for these magnificent flowers to grow and bloom - they're amazing!!

 Below: this sunflower patch is where the gazebo use to be located.

Below: the lilies are still blooming - more than a month late!

Family Picnic

     On Sunday afternoon, August 31st we held our 5th annual Jeffery Summer Picnic at the homestead.  It was nice to gather at the old homestead with four generations of our family.  Below is Wilbert with his great-grandson Charlie Clements, who is 2-1/2 years old.

     Below is Charlie with the tree he planted last summer, a Tulip Tree - its growing faster than he is!  This tree will grow to near 60' high.  
     See the sunflowers are in bloom!

Sunflowers soon to bloom!

     The sunflowers will soon be in bloom - despite the dry summer the sunflowers have shot up.  We planted a row of corn behind the sunflowers to give them stability.

     The homestead is looking good - we're pleased to have moved the gazebo up closer to the house back in the spring!

Here's photos of last years sunflowers.

Mid Summer and the Day Lilies are Blooming

     We've been having a very warm dry summer!   Amazingly, things are growing and surviving.  
     The day lily beds we planted in the spring of 2013 are blooming and beautiful.
