The Flower Lady Was Here....♥️









The Flower Lady...{aka Erika} was here last week...

She brought me the biggest bouquet of flowers ever...

Truly a Cornucopia of different types... 

And colours...

And they...

Still...

Look...

Beautiful...

Thanks Erika...♥️

 



Hope you all had a great day...

I fed the cats...and browsed IKEA...that can either be fabulous...

Or...

Very frustrating...

I found it to be a bit of both!!

Anyway...I am well stocked up on candles and such...

And I bought a new shelving thingy for the kitchen at the cottage...

We will see how that goes....assembly I mean...hahaha!!

After my trip out, I decided it was such a beautiful day...that...

I did quite a bit of raking here at home...

Tossed out scuzzy old garden ornaments...bird feeders...cracked pots...

A good job all around...

Peonies are poking thru...day lilies...crocus...daffodils look ready to burst...

Perhaps a garden tour will be soon...

Gonna have my favorite dinner...

Burgers and fries...perhaps the boyfriend will BBQ the burgers for me...

Enjoy the rest of your day...

                           Cheers!  :o)

  3. Love, love, love the flowers. As for IKEA ... it can be fun though I won't eat there, I don't mind looking about at the rooms they've made up and all that fun stuff.

  9. You are one spoiled lady in the flower department. I did some sorting out today, found a couple of old baskets that I might paint (learned that from you) The gazebo is up and all the furniture out ... sat and had lunch outside today :) Sure hope this weather continues.

  12. I bought some nice lean beef today so we can grill burgers soon. Yum. One of our favorites, too!

    Beautiful flowers! Nothing like a bouquet of fresh flowers to brighten up a room! Sams Club had large pots of begonias on clearance for 81 cents today! What?? haha. Had to have one!

    We're cooler and grey today.....

  14. Lovely flowers, amazing weather, I guess we can't complain about our long winter! Joined the S.Common ladies for coffee this morning, no, no, that's not a hint, LSK. :) Did a little shopping and cleaned up the back yard with this boyfriend. Dinner was easy, beef stew which I prepared last night. Have fun and take care...

  17. Gorgeous colours - very bright and cheery. What a lovely gift. We had our windows washed today!!! Very exciting because the last company that was hired did a lousy job and, as a result, they have been dirtier for longer than they should be. Yup, that's my exciting news of the day! lol
