Yesterday..........A Few BIts & Bobs....

Great news... :o)

And...

Some bad news..:o(

My boyfriend finally got out of Atlanta!!!!

YAY!!!!!

Should be home by 3pm...

But..

My  daughter {taken to the clinic by my other daughter}...

Has Gastrolinteritis...

A very nasty stomach bug....

And...unfortunately...

AIRBORNE!!!!

Geesh.....

Kept Miss V here with me today....didn't awaken 'til 8:30!!!

Went back for a nap....after her lunch...and is sleeping like a baby!!♥️

the plow....building a mountain on our small court...

a few knickknacks...my Mom's china flowers♥️

tiny double kalanchoe...reblooming...had it since early December...perfect!

the wee blue bird Lissa gave me for my b'day, matches the wee birdbath she gave me last year!
I keep it inside.....as it is just toooo nice...to go outside♥️

Another Kalanchoe re-blooming...

This one...a gift at Thanksgiving...

3 in one pot...

Sweet apricot bloom...♥️

Cardinal silhouette...at the feeder....




Miss V....

Having her dinner...

Doing pretty darn good with the spoon!

                 A wee bit of Bubble Guppies.....while I tidy up the kitchen....after building and baking 2 loaves to freeze....and take with us!!! tee hee hee....Doesn't she look cosy....all wrapped up in Granny's afghan?.....♥️
 

Baked......cooled......wrapped.......in the freezer....

I used Butter Pecan cake mix...add bananas from the freezer....top off with raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. Make a topping with brown sugar, cinnamon and chopped walnuts!
 

Kept a few berries for breakfast.....love this with yogurt...or oatmeal....yummy!
 

Late afternoon sun shadows......

 

Well.......hope you are all having a great day....

Will see how mine ends up!

Wish us luck........

                                        Cheers!  :o)

Is It Time To Leave Yet?

Another week of...

Bitter temps....

Blowing winds....

Drifting snow...

Whiteouts....

And...

The topper...

Of all toppers....

My boyfriend...

Is...

Stuck....

In....

Atlanta....

What the hell???

Yes, my friends...

This is not a joke... 

He left on Monday am...

With every good intention...of returning....tonight...at 7:30pm....get a good nights sleep....leave for Windsor early afternoon....and begin....our much anticipated trek to the sunny south....

                                                But no....it ain't gonna happen....

Hopefully he will get  a flight tomorrow....and we will decide what to do then....

Perhaps we should wait 'til Friday...let him get some rest....

Does it really matter if we miss a few days??????

Let me have a cup of tea...and mull this over.....ok....mulling going on here....

 

                           Still mulling..........weighing the options.....oh yeah....I didn't tell you about my   

other dilemma.....stay with me....

My daughter has been very ill this week...

Some sort of stomach thingy going on...

I escorted Miss V to daycare this am...

I had a few errands to run...

And...they are only allowed so many absentee days...

So....

As the boyfriend won't be home...

I think I'll scoop Miss V...

And her and her old Grandma, can enjoy a sleepover together...

Let her Mom get some more rest... 

Sound like a good plan???

 

Oh why has this Winter been so darn cold...snowy.... and full of hideous bugs....

Oh when will we be able to stay at this delightful place again???

                                                         WHEN?????

As you can tell...

I am up on the big guy for this post...

I just needed to slip back into my old format again...

So warm and fuzzy here....

I knew you would understand...♥️

I hope you all enjoyed the garden tour....

WOW....

Is that really MY cottage garden???

I must say...

AWESOME!!!!!

And....don't anybody argue with me...

I am not a very happy camper...

today....

But...

things could be worse....much worse...

Thanks for listening, and tagging along with me....

It felt good to have you with me....

'Cause...I know...that...you..

Understand......

 

Enjoy the rest of your day....

I did get my mani and pedi today....my boyfriend gave me a gift certificate in my stocking♥️
Had it booked for WEEKS!!!

                                           Cheers!  :o)
