Yesterday.......


Yesterday started out sunny and warm...and breezy...

Thunderstorms were predicted for the afternoon...so...

I thought I should get Miss V a wee bit earlier...

So that we could get a park visit in...before the storms...

Well...the storms never materialized...although the sky was very dark...

And the wind was very gusty...

 I had paid an early morning visit to the back garden...

And was delighted to see a few White Trilliums were in bloom....

They had hitched a ride with a few cedars into my back yard...

There are also Burgundy ones...but...they always bloom on alternate years...

Very odd...but that is what they do!!
 


We made it to the park...nice and windy and hot...

Miss V managed to find such fresh blooms to enjoy!!

And...

She is the recycling Queen now...

Gathering up stuff as we walked back home...♥️
 

Last week I purchased a lovely big bowl for the front planter...

Full to bursting with Pansies and Daffodils...

Will plant them when it has finished its magic...

My Pussy Willows that I had snipped for Easter... 

Are rooting and sending out leaves!!

More planting for the garden...perhaps I will take these to the cottage!
 



Yesterdays dinner was Vegetable pasta...

Miss V's 2nd favorite meal at Nana's...

Her 1st is Fish!!!

We will have that on Wednesday, when her Mom goes to Yoga class...





And...

Last but not least...

I picked this Magic Wand up at the $ store...

It flashes...

Glows...

And does like a disco light thingy!! 

Hahaha!

She loved it!!

Bippity..

Boppity..

Boo..





Hope you are all having a great day...

No sun today...but still warm...I did 2 hours in the front garden...

More raking...hand raking...planting bulbs...watering...clipping...trimmimg!

It was fabulous!!!

Looks like a new front yard now...Good job Linda!! hahaha!

On the menu tonight...

An oven dinner...

Crispy moist pork chops,roasted potatoes and carrots...gravy...

I think tomatoes and avacadoes as a starter...yum!!

            Enjoy the rest of your day...

               What kind of trouble did you get into??

                     Cheers!    :o)

  1. Oh, I love your little Queen of Recycling in her leopard rain boots! Too cute. And, you are teaching her well. =) She is just so precious, Linda... but you know that better than anyone. I so wish I were close enough to have my Littles every week. I'm impressed that fish is her favorite. You must be a wonderful fish cook... which I am always wanting when it is on your menu. I just started a hodgepodge of things from the freezer and pantry in a slow roast. I needed to run to the store, but a thunderstorm blew in so... I'm just making do. It's smelling pretty good though. Have a wonderful evening. blessings ~ tanna

  7. Love your starter. Yum. I had toms with sardines and garlic for lunch. But an avocado would have been heaven to add. Great picture of MissV. You are one rockin' gram to give her such yummy and fun meals.

    Cheers and boogie boogie.

  10. I thought I'd spied some trilliums in the woods as we were out on our drive with Tim yesterday, but Rachel was driving and I didn't want to make either her or Tim crazy by asking her to stop so I could shoot pictures.

  11. Today's blog is extra specially happy, funny and funky, LSK. Gosh, Miss V.'s eyelashes are so, so lovely. And that magic wand! The BF and I met some friends in T.O. for a foreign film this afternoon, then ate dinner at Panera's on the way home in our "hood." Your vegetable pasta looks yummy....

  12. I love Miss V's overalls - I wore them until I was wellllll into adulthood - so comfy. And I must get myself a sparkly wand! I bought myself a bumble bee bubble blower on the weekend. Yup... I'm just a kid at heart. But still a sick kid so I didn't get into any trouble today. Spent most of it in bed. And no. Not that kind of trouble!
