Friday Greetings From The Garden......

Another sunny day here....

Although a bit breezy...

Took a few minutes to visit the yard here at home...

And ...

I found...

A few...

Nice...

Surprises...

Come along for the stroll...

I guarantee...

It will be...

Well...

Worth it!!

:o)








These gals will all be coming inside...plus the ones I brought from the cottage....

We still like to enjoy the sun...even if the pool is closed...




Hope you all had a great day...

My boyfriend and I had a ball...

We picked up Miss V..and treated her to lunch at Swiss Chalet...

Then....back here for some play time...and of course...a nap...

Took a few hilarious pics of her....with a new hat...will share soon!!!

                                      ********

On the menu this fine Friday night...

        Mussels steamed in Tomatoes, Onions and spices...{for my boyfriend}

                       With a side of crusty bread for the sauce...

                       Pizza for me...&....Ceasar Salad for 2....

                                      ********

Enjoy your evening...

Perhaps a drive to the cottage tomorrow...

Very windy and wet down there....no new roof as of yet...why????

Need to contact the roof guy...had been away "Moose Hunting"....:o)



                                 Cheers!   :o)

  3. There is always something beautiful outside just waiting to be discovered.
    My "cilantro" afghan is done, but I dropped quite a few stitches along the way.
    *sigh*
    I must be more careful to count or recheck my rows next time.
    Oh, well, good practice and who's ever going to try folding it up anyway.

  4. I love your photos, Linda. The cabbage is gorgeous! I would love to be able to grow that here but I think it's too dry. I'm glad you had a nice afternoon with the little Miss. :)

  5. Your gardens must be spectacular in person! Such pretty things you grow!! Sounds like a lovely day with the baby!!!
    Have fun at the cottage! No lake for me. Tomorrow a baby shower, and Sunday a funeral. Greg is going to fish tomorrow though. Boo!

  6. Your garden is still looking great Linda, you will have quite a group of friends to bring indoors for the winter by the look of it. You will have to hunt down that Hunter and get him up on your roof!! Perhaps he hasn't got his moose yet..... we get some interesting excuses from builders over here but we never get builders going off moose hunting. Hope you have a great weekend. xx
