Last Sunny Sultry Weekend of September.....



When we first arrive at the cottage...I usually always take a picture thru the living room window...

My boyfriend gets the chairs set up...sweeps the cobwebs off...and brings the cushions to warm in the sun...

Look at that sky!  

BEAUTIFUL!

And...it is only Thursday!

After our chores...

We grab a couple of beers...head down to the beach deck...

My boyfriend reads the local paper...and we just unwind...

Can you feel it??

 




The Seagulls and Cormorants must have found a school of fish...

They swarmed!!!

Very loud....and they even made waves on the Lake...

Lasted about 15 minutes...I had to zoom in, so picture quality not the best...

It was incredible to watch...
 


There were 2 Red Labs swimming...fetching their tennis ball...Again, I zoomed in...

You can see some colour on the leaves along that stretch of beach...



I love when there is a sandy beach...and calmness...

Got my feet all wet and sandy, so changed into yet another pair of flipflops...

Yes....It was another flipflop weekend....my very favorite kind♥️

The next photo shows the sunset hitting my feet...and the basket of flowers...



We retire to the sunporch around 5:30 now...as the sun is getting so low in the sky...

As we sat there...waiting for dinner to cook...I had to run down...and capture the sunset...

And remember....

This is still Thursday....3 more days to go!!!

Stay tuned for the next chapter...

Are you with me??

Good!!

 

            Hope you all had a great day...

                  Very crummy day here...weatherwise....dark..cloudy...damp...spitting rain...YUCKY!

                        SO...

                       To put all this CRAPPINESS behind us...

                    I think CRISPY is the word to describe dinner tonight...

                           CRISPY diced roasted potatoes...

                               CRISPY juicy and tender oven roasted pork loin chops

                                       CRISPY sauteed mushrooms and onions...

                                   TENDER fresh yellow beans...buttered and peppered...YUMMY!

                                        And I think some gravy is in order too!!


                         Enjoy the rest of your evening...

                                        Cheers! :o)

  1. I've never before missed 2 weeks of a NY September. I think autumn will fly by way too fast.
    Hope your weather is brighter tomorrow. We had a misty, moisty kind of day here too.

    2. Accuweather says mostly sunny, at least for tomorrow. Guess I'd better make sure we get out to the trampoline, huh? Those grandchildren are all hoping for a good old fashioned bounce.

  4. Idyllic - I've seen the birds diving en masse for fish in Florida, Cornwall, and Nova Scotia. It's a thrilling spectacle to watch.
    Stunning sunset - you know what they say "red sky at night shepherds delight".

  5. Ha!
    We say " red sky at night, sailors delight"
    "Red sky in morning...sailor take warning"
    Weird eh?

  12. Crispy is definitely the word of the season, Linda...Some great shots you got there! When I lived in New York, I loved to catch the best of the best Fall days at the beach. Each always felt more like a blessing than those taken for granted during the Summer months.

    Thanks for sharing, Linda...
