Hope you all had a great day...I was busy again!
I really need to learn how to relax!! ha!

We had come home from the cottage, late on Saturday...
As a lot of rain and wind were expected...
And we had worked like dogs...
And...
We were tired!!!
SO.... That meant we were able to take Vivian for a few hours....
We packed her up...
And drove down to the beaches at Lake Ontario, in Port Credit...our favorite place to go in the winter, when we can't be at our OWN Lake!!
We started on the swings...she quite enjoyed that
Then onto a rocking horse sort-of-thingy!!!
Isn't that hat adorable??? I got that at Wal-Mart!!!
Then we headed down to the beach...
And then...
My battery went dead!!!
OMG!!!
And she was fascinated by the people feeding the ducks, geese and seagulls...
Darn battery!!!
Always happens at the most inopportune time!!!
Anyway...
After that...
We went to The Dairy Queen...
And had some cones...
Man...she loves Ice Cream!!!
But....no pictures!! :o(
I told my boyfriend we would have to take her for a cone again...
WITH A FULLY LOADED BATTERY!!!
She had it all over her face...like a white moustache!!! So cute!!
Hope you are all having a great day...
I spent 3 hours in the back garden..what a mess those darn Daylilies make...
They always fall over the other perennials who are struggling for some sunlight...
I RIPPED them out...ripped out the phlox...tied up a few things...raked...clipped...swept...watered...
And now I am crippled!!!
Oh well...a job well done....a wee bit more to do tomorrow...and then there is the front garden!!! GEESH!!!
Not cooking tonight...Me and the boyfriend are going out!!!
Not sure where yet...but I am just happy to not have to cook...seeing as I am crippled and all!!! hahaha!
Check out this little Monkey in the bath yesterday...
My heart is melting...:o)
Still 2 different colour eyes!!
She loves the bath!!!
Enjoy the rest of your day....and evening...
***did I mention that I was crippled?*** I did??? Ok then....
Cheers! :o)

My friend Leslie...
Over at "Leslie Jane Moran" blog...
Gifted me this adorable wee 9 vessel in a wicker basket bud holder...
I FINALLY found the perfect flower to use in this container...
Do you not think this looks absolutely sweet??
I was very pleased with the results...
I had tried it earlier...with Lily-of-the-Valley...
But I believe it needs the much larger bloom of this double Day Lily....
Thanks again Leslie...
I know I will be able to use this for many more wee arrangements...
Hope you are all having a great day so far....
Kinda dark and gloomy here...perhaps finally some rain!!!
I have just put Sweet Cheeks down for her morning nap...actually about 20 minutes ago...
Just enough time for me to do this post...as I have so many things to share!!!
Hopefully she will nap again this aft...after Grampa and I wear her out!!!
On the menu tonight...
Something easy...defrosting some Spaghetti Sauce....YAY!!!
And....also a salad...hmmmm? Maybe something with cukes in it!! hahaha!
Enjoy the rest of your day...
Cheers! :o)

I was tickled pink...
Or ...
Tickled yellow...
Or...
Tickled green...
When I searched my HUGE veggie patch on the beach...
I was elated...
To find...
First...
On Thursday...
2...
Fully ripe...
Quite large...
Absolutely...
Beautiful...
CUCUMBERS!!!
Just look at these babies!!!
I have never grown cucumbers before...and a few "people" were skeptical...
But I proved them wrong!!! YAY!!! In your face!!!
And....by the look of these sweet little yelllow flowers...
There is WAY more to come...zucchini...and the biggest surprise of all...
Wait for it!!!
WATERMELON!!!
Can you believe this???
There is also some Cantaloupe in there somewhere...
I can't explain how darn excited I was!!!
Look at the size of this last guy!!!
I wonder how big they will get...
Or...
If I go back next week...
And they "fell" off the vine!!!
What the heck???
Must be positive...
Looking forward to a HUGE harvest!!
HA HA HA!!!
What are you all growing in the veggie department???
Oh....Except for you Kris...***smiles***...she has the most amazing garden...but of course...she lives in sunny hot California!!
Hope you all had a great weekend...
I have been AWOL for a lot of days...need to catch up on what you all have been up to...
