Some Annuals looking for a new home...
Hosta in tin basket getting larger...
Sunlight on Hosta....

Sun setting behind the shed....
Star of Bethlehem getting some sun...see the ant!!
Sunset on the kitchen porch...one of my Ferns...

    Hope you all had a great day....

       Another roasty toasty windy one here today....

         Gonna have some pork chops, with sauteed onions peppers and mushrooms...

               Throw in some roasted small wee potatoes...and some fresh brocolli...

                  That will do it for dinner...


                          Enjoy the rest of your day...

                             Hot and toasty where you are???

    Warm here...like summer. Your cottage is lovely. This is more than I had seen before..what a view. so much lush green. Green makes me happy. Thanks for the advice for my tin box..holes and gravel. I had thought I would need to do something. Dinner sounds good...we're going to Eat and Pray and it's my turn to bring a salad..so it's going to have everything fresh and yummy in it...I love using up all my fruits and veggies in a salad.
    Took a break from packing today... baked cookies instead. Good trade. Hugs and Smiles

    Poured of rain here this morning, not a bad afternoon, now raining again this evening and I can hear thunder in the background. Yet sun is out so might see a rainbow
    Kitchen going really well ... used new oven tonight for the first time.

    Wow Linda, everything looks so good!! I love seeing your garden. The hosta is enormous, I wish that I could grow hostas that looked like that, we get a few leaves mostly with holes eaten into them, nothing like this. Yours are amazing. We are apparently forecast thunder and storms in the next couple of days, but don't feel that you have to send them on to us, we won't mind if you don't! xx

    The gardens to you cottage are huge - a lot of work for you and the b/f - no wonder you are both so fit and eat so well and you look so happy. I expect the grass alone talks a while to cut and all the edges. lovely place :)

      Hi Eddie...
      We have nearly an acre...so...YES! Lots of gardens!
      When we bought it, there were no garden beds at all...but lots of Maple trees....
      We planted about 15 evergreens....and tons of perennials!
      The boyfriend is fit....I am NOT! Hahaha!
      And...for the record....I do the edging and whipping!

    2. Eddie Bluelights4 June 2014 at 00:11

      Whipping!! ????
      Is that a gardening term??
      Oh I see - you are Mrs Motivator!!!
      Yes, every MAN needs one, or nothing would get done!!
      Your poor b/f must be very fot after all that work, glad you feed him ocassionally lol

      Interesting history of the cottage you paint!
      Could be the subject of a blog post!
      Do you have before and after photos?
      When did you acquire it?
      Akll these question, you might be thinking!! . . . . . and to answer them all you might as well do a post! lol
      Pop over and read about me meeting up with Jinksy, a bloggy friend!

    Really windy in Northern Michigan last few days with some heavy rains. Mosquitos have "numbers" on their tails they are so huge. Can't get outside to do any yard work without getting absolutely covered in them, even with repellant. Wish Noah hadn't brought two of those on board ......

    Cottage looks beautiful ... so enjoy your pictures ;-) Linda

    Gorgeous pics and I absolutely adore your little shed!
    Plenty of rain here and roads flooded in places, that's happening in between the sunshine - very odd weather.

      Thanks Jay! We added that right after we bought the cottage...needed the storage for outdoor stuff!
      The weather is kooky for sure...but the whole year has been.....
