The Shingles Have Arrived!!!!

A few more pics from the cottage...

There were plenty of leaves...

And I thnk my Inukshuk was making a Leaf Angel!! 

As was my wee Piggy!!!

Some sedums still going strong...

What an awesome plant that is!! 

My boyfriend was very busy...in and out of the shed...

While...

I...

Took pictures!!!

It's a dirty job...

But...

Somebody's got to do it! hahaha!







Now...here is the story of the shingles  guy and the toothless pony-tailed roofer....

They arrived...backed into the driveway....loaded the shingles up onto the roof...and then........and....then....they.....were....gone!




This is how the Lake looked as we were leaving....looks like a snowstorm,eh??









So...

The shingles sit and wait...

For the toothless pony-tailed roofer...

To do his thing!!

Hopefully...

By now...

It..

Is...

Complete..♥

Autumn Color In My Garden... At Home......



 I got a chance this afternoon...

To take a quick look....

Around my garden..

It was a brisk, sunny day....

I put on my shoes and a big sweater...

Grabbed my trusty camera...

And headed out...

It felt really nice...

Cold...

Crisp...

Refreshing...

Miss V had left early afternoon...

And..I was..

Kinda...

Feeling sorry for myself...and missing her...♥

I think I found some extraordinary color...

From the Crimson reds....

To the Pale Yellows...

And the Limey Greens...

The Solomon Seal is putting on an extremely beautiful show right now...

Such a lovely Perennial.....in every season...

And...of course...who can forget the Hosta...a real favorite...

These Mums have been in my garden for over 25 years...I almost forgot about them, as they are near the sidewalk...

For passers-by's pleasure....:o)   is that a word???

The Oak tree...which a kindly squirrel planted for me...

There are no others nearby...so he brought it specially for me...♥















The Boston Ivy is turning a hot red...

This is one side of my house...

The Ivy wraps all the way down, and cross the back of the house...

I featured it in my header, that you have all graciously commented on...

The back is nearly bare...

The windy days have taken care of that!!! 

The backyard Cedars, are unusually yellow this Fall...

Dropping a lot of their leaves...

Making quite a mess!!
 



 The Boston Ivy leaves on the back deck...along with their berries....




I know this Miscanthus Plume is not Yellow or Red...

But...

Gosh.....

Isn't it awesome?

We have this spectacular view out our kitchen window....

I took lots more...

But...

I need to start limiting the number of pictures I post...

Takes too long to organize them...

Into some semblance...

Hope you enjoyed this short tour...


Have you all got plenty of color still left in your yards???

Or.....has Mother Nature finished her work for now....

                                            ********

Hope you are all having a great day...

Thanks for all your well wishes for Miss V, my daughter...and boyfriend...

They are greatly appreciated...♥

                                            *********

Heading our for Greek tonight...

But.......I have 2 cakes cooling on the counter...

This time....Vanilla Cinnamon Banana Blueberry loaf..

                      with..

                 Brown sugar, walnut cinnamon topping...

The house smells AWESOME!!

Considering....we are being "SKUNKED" every other night here!!!

Smells like he is right in the room with us....AWFUL!!!

Hope he/she moves to a new location...PEEEE EWWW!!!

                                       ********

Enjoy your evening...


                                   Cheers!  :o)

Last Friday At The Lake......





 Last Friday at the cottage...

Was...

To say the least...

A...

Mixed bag...

Of weather...

Sunshine...

Heavy cloud...

A brisk West wind...

And...

Even...

A showering of Hail!!!





The shingles were delivered....and placed atop the cottage...

I took several shots of that scary adventure....

The roofer has no teeth....and a pony-tail....gotta love it!!!

The view of the Lake was especially beautiful that day....♥

My boyfriend got a few things put away...while I took pictures!!! ha!

                                    *********

Hope you are all having a great day....

Drove out and picked up Miss V, as my daughter is not feeling well...

This is quite a bug going around....my boyfriend is decidedly better...

She will stay over-nite with us, so her Mom can get some rest...♥

She is napping now....so I got this post ready for publication!!!

                                   ********

       Meatloaf with gravy, homemade fires, yellow beans...

                                     **********
