This was the moon on Friday night at the cottage...
We were lucky enough to enjoy a firepit after dinner...
And get absorbed by the MOON.....
Isn't that just GLORIOUS??
Hope you all had a great day...
I had a busy one...for sure...
Washed the slipcovers for the couch...went shopping with my boyfriend...
Got some lovely fresh Cod for dinner....garden fresh yellow beans...
Cod is soaking in...you guessed it...buttermilk!!
We also scored some new seat cushions for our Muskoka chairs at the cottage...
6 brand spankin' new ones for next year...waterproof fabric!!
Very excited about that!!
Also got the boyfriend a new leather recliner for the family room...
Very luxurious...creamy leather...nice!!
Enjoy the rest of your day.....
Cheers! :o)

love your shed. I love sheds…..:)
ReplyDeleteLove your hydrangea
Thanks Kathy B....me too!
DeleteVery clever Inukshuk - a future archaeologist will claim to have made a significant find.
ReplyDeleteNice array of flower piccies and loved the use of the sun glasses to get an interesting contrast to the bowl of tomatoes.
Loved the rest as well, particularly the full moon shot. Did you use a tripod?
Cheers :) Eddie
Hi Eddie....
DeleteThe Inukshuk is cute,eh?
Think I'll build them all over the beach! See how long they stand!
Glad you liked the photos...I take soo many, I am finding it very hard to choose!
No tripod for the moon....was sitting by the fire pit (pics coming)... And zoomed in!
Last night was supposed to be the best night, but we had some cloud here...
Enjoy your evening....
Yes, hollyhocks make me smile. A cream leather recliner....oh, I'm jealous. Enjoy boyfriend. :)
ReplyDeleteOh I knew they would Deb♥️
DeleteIt is very luxurious!
I am on the fresh clean slip covered couch!
Relaxing........
Beautiful moon...gosh, I don't think I've ever seen one quite that shade of orange! Saw some on TV that were pale pink...really pretty. We still have clouds...third day in a row we haven't seen the sun!
ReplyDeleteI know! I have several others...it was like a Harvest Moon!
DeleteWe are supposed to get rain overnite...we need it!
Hot and humid since Thursday!
Lovely photos ! It is pouring here has been since 4 pm and will continue all night ! My gardens are loving it lol ! Sounds like you had a full week of good stuff ! I was out last night taking photos of the super moon over the valley it is quite a remarkable sight , I love the moon . Thanks for sharing have a good day !
ReplyDeleteOh I am glad to hear about the rain....
DeleteHope the cottage gets some...
Just beautiful moon Linda!
ReplyDeleteLook amazing!
And love the flowers too:))

It was spectacular wasn't it?
DeleteWe can't see the moon here.
DeleteAll these days were really cloudy!!
xo
oh dear...well at least you got to see it here!
DeleteSomeone supersized the moon...wasn't it fabulous?!
ReplyDeleteJane x
Yes....it sure as heck was...
DeleteOh, look at all these wonderful summer photos! Don't you just love this time of year? I'll be so sad to see this season go. That super moon is stunning. There was another gorgeous moon out tonight. So bright and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI agree Martha...it will be sad....let's hope we have a looooong warm Fall!
DeleteI love hollyhocks, too. They grow wild along a road near the lake and I have to slow down to have a good look!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great weekend and your day today was marvelous. I'm looking for new outdoor cushions as well and hope I find a sale!
Jane xx
Hi Jane...
Deleteyou should stop and get some seeds...or better yet...dig one up!!
Love the inukshuk - I think every cottage and home needs one. Wasn't the moon glorious? I was in a friend's garden last night (Sunday) and I have never seen anything like it. So low and full and bright. I felt I could reach up and touch it. A friend of mine from North Carolina says you can cook and eat the squash flowers - they have fried squash blossoms. Never heard of that before!
ReplyDeleteYes....glorious!
DeleteOh yes...they are quite a delicacy...you can stuff them!
It is difficult to get them just before they open...they are best to stuff then!
enjoy your week Suza!
Oh how i want to visit your cottage, and stroll the grounds with you, so you can explain to me all of the flowers names, and such. That moon, oh my...what a photo! It was huge!!! Glad you had such a good day today. Lots got accomplished it sounds like! And the new lounger for the boyfriend, ah, so nice!
ReplyDeleteI am waiting for the return of my camera to get back into the groove of posting. I am so missing it. It is being fixed and should be back soon.
Happy day my friend!
xo Kris
Oh how cool if you could!
DeleteWe would talk 4ever!
Hope your camera is back real soon!
Enjoy your week my friend....
The Inukshuk looks great - just like the ones I've seen in museums. Yes, hollyhocks make me smile too - they are the stuff of fairytales and picture books...and embroidered gardens! All lovely and clever photos, Linda.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Museum quality for sure, Patricia!
DeleteLove Hollyhocks!
Love the little inukshuk ... I have little stacks of rocks all over the place.
ReplyDeleteThe rain is coming down this morning ... Some of the inside jobs will get done today.
I thought we would get more rain....kinda disappointed!
DeleteMy gardens desperately need rain....
Inside jobs for sure....which one to choose?
We need the rain here as well. Was to rain all day but didn't . Looks like we could get more today. My gardens sure need it.
ReplyDeleteNothing here.....
DeleteYour moon photo is amazing Linda!!! I love the little stone sculpture as well! xx
ReplyDeleteI guess you couldn't see it, with all the cloud from the rain. :o(
DeleteI am going to make more stone thingys!
