Weekend Guests.....




Another fine summer weekend at the Lake...

The beach deck was all ready...

Umbrellas in place....

Table set...

Waiting patiently...

Any time now....

Well perhaps I will take a garden stroll....see if anything is blooming.... 

Pretty slim pickins for the table arrangement...




I see some berries in the bushes....

Vine Geranium still going strong...

These tiny rudbeckias pop up everywhere....they add a nice touch...

Obedient plants not as good this year....too dry...but the tiny Hummingbird 
                      Moths seem to love them...didn't get a pic...will try
                                     next weekend...



This Spider was hanging around....waiting....

White flowers on the Hosta....

Some of my Miscanthus have put out their Fall Plumes...

Blue Spruce has lovely fresh new needles...

Sedums starting to bloom....

                               Waiting.....in the shade!!!!    :o)

   Checking along the beach....


When they arrived...they were hungry and hot...

Went for a swim......lovely and warm...

Chatted with the neighbours also out in the water...

Had a few snacks...

Drank some Beer...

Ate dinner on the sunporch...

Drank waaaaay too much red wine...

Had butter tarts...

Sat on the deck and stargazed and watched the moon....

Crashed quite late....up waaaaay too early...

Coffee on the deck...

Had lots of fun.....hope my guests did as well...















                      Hope you all had a great weekend...

                                   Cheers!   :o)

  2. Sounds like a lovely relaxing weekend at the cottage. Enjoy the time there while you can as soon Fall will be here and the cooler weather. Are you able to go to the cottage over the winter or do you have to shut it up?
