Glorious Blue Morning Glories....








Finally had some Morning Glories in bloom at the cottage last weekend...
Not a LOT, mind you....but SOME!!
I am trying not to be negative!!
When I see them on some peoples homes, they look huge and full of blooms!
Could be that I have them in a pot...and not a big one at that!
Already planning for next year!!
It seemed that as the morning wore on, they became a brighter blue!
They were certainly a welcome sight!
Even if they only last til dusk...

Hope you are all having a great day...
Back to the hot mugginess today...YUCK!!
I think I may have to buy a few new planters next week...
I only had 3 in the backyard, and they served me well...
But...they are looking kinda bedraggled...to put it mildly!
You can only water so much!! 

Miss V had a wonderful nap...we made pizzas with play-doh and did some colouring!
She has gone home with her Mommy...
She was excellent today...so funny...and SO smart!!
 
Planning some delicious moist Cod for dinner... 
Some nice flavored rice...fresh yellow and green beans...
Sliced Beefsteak Tomatoes!! Very juicy!
Gonna try BBQ'ing the Cod, as I usually do it in the oven...

Enjoy your evening...
                    Cheers!  :o)

  3. My morning glories always bloomed so late!!!
    I have bought seeds.. I have started indoors..I have bought pots ..well established and plopped in a nice hole..always late bloomers..
    so the last 4 yrs I have stopped..maybe I could be coerced..
    Oy no gardening here its a heat wave and a half..so grateful for a home.

    I can look outside and see..:)
    do post office early in the morning..baking..well I am crazy..I do it in the morning and get inspired again and crank up the oven;)

    Our Littles are our gifts:)

    1. I agree Monique....my garden here at home needs a lot of TLC!
      Need to tidy it up, and add a few new planters....perhaps next week will be a bit cooler!
      Nothing wrong with baking......especially in your kitchen!
      Yes...the little are our gifts♥️
      Enjoy your day.....

      No, Peter has not met Rosa yet but I went to see her this evening and had a lovely cuddle . . . . rocked her like pro . . . you should have seen the technique . . . pure magic. I thought she'd smiled, but it was the wind . . . lol

    4. Yes . . . they came home yesterday afternoon but Rosa is a lazy feeder and keeps falling asleep on the breast . . they will have to persevere with that. I might take little Peter over to see her tomorrow . . . if Selina is ok about it . . :)

  5. Lovely photos . I used to grow morning glories and they took over at one time . I think for next year I will grow them again as I do like them and they are very pretty ! Where do you get your cod I have a hard time finding it here every where seems to sell salmon . Rain on the way here this evening dark clouds moving in from the south west . Thanks for sharing , Have a good evening !

  6. Love your new summer daisies header. And the morning glories, of course. Wondering how the BBQ cod turned out, yummy, I'm sure. I fought the traffic into Toronto to a ladies lunch at a girlfriend's. Fun to catch up with the urbanites, ha, ha. Dinner here was dijon/honey chicken breasts and steamed Brussels sprouts. Take care...

    1. Thanks for noticing Hester!
      Bbq'd Cod was great! I even put Panko on...on foil with some olive oil....put it on the side with no heat, when it started to puff up, I put it over the flame for about 5 minutes, to brown it up a bit! Tasted excellent...and no fish smell inside!
      The traffic to downtown is ridiculous! You are a brave girl!
      Enjoy your day!

  7. What a beautiful shade of blue - gorgeous.
    Oh, dinner sounds wonderful. Love those juicy, bright red beefsteak tomatoes.
    Had dinner tonight with one of my best friend's daughter who is like a god-daughter to me. She returns down East for her second year of university so we had a delicious Middle Eastern dinner tonight before she leaves next week. Was so good - my first time at this restaurant. Fun to try different places.

  10. What beautiful flowers!
    Last year I planted zinnia's in two places, down in the vegetable garden and up here by the house. The ones by the house had a bed full of crushed egg shells and were twice as tall and so pretty! Maybe you need to feed them something yummy like egg shells. Or coffee grounds.
