Tiny bouquets of Jolly Jump Ups scattered here and there...
Hoping for something more flowery SOON!
Inside...things are a bit brighter...
Geraniums still going strong...
African Violets looking very glamorous...
What is flowering in your outdoor/indoor garden?
I wanted to show you how much the weather is jumping around... On Monday...on the way to the park with Miss V... We were all bundled up!! Her Mother would kill me, if she saw this outfit!!! Nothing co-ordinated... But... I let her pick everything out! Gosh...she makes us smile...from ear to ear♥️
On the way home from the park, my boyfriend was gathering up water bottles etc, that "people" had left behind...Miss V got in on the act...she was so excited to carry them back here, and put them in the recycling bin! Bless her little heart!!
Fast forward to Wednesday...
Warm and toasty...
Short sleeved shirt!!
Crazeeeee!!
Here is the Moon last night...
I think it will be right over the lake...can't wait for that!!
We are leaving bright and early in the morning...
Hopefully much warmer...and perhaps even a bloom or two!!
Hope you are all having a great day...
Mix of sun & cloud today...not as warm as yesterday...
Think I'll get outside and do a wee bit more raking...my favorite pastime!!
A comfort meal tonight...Grilled pork tenderloin...
We ventured to the cottage on Saturday afternoon...
It was a chilly 6*c...
Which felt a lot chillier with the South wind off the water...
While my boyfriend chopped wood for the fireplace...
I raked what I HOPE is the last of the BIG rakes!!
There are still tiny pockets that need to be cleaned out...
Most of that will be done just with my hands!!
You know what I mean...pulling leaves out from between growing plants...
Very tedious job...but...very necessary!
We stayed outside for as long as we could...
But we were freezing!!
We ate Dinner...
Delicious crispy chicken thighs...
And then around 7:45...the wind changed directions!!!
YAHOO!!
BONFIRE!!
We ran down to the beach...after bundling up...grabbed a bench...and enjoyed the moon and a fabulous bonfire and sunset!!
It was a miracle!!
We returned inside...around 8:30...and could just see the puff of smoke down on the beach... The fire inside was all ready and toasty for us... SO...we lounged around...and listened to music for a while...♥️
I think we both fell asleep around 11pm!!!
My boyfriend stayed up for a bit, to catch the scores of the hockey games...
Sunday morning was spectacular!!
Nice and sunny on the beach deck...
A bit of smouldering from the fire, but with the wind still from the North, we piled some more debris on the fire!!
Around 1pm...
The darn wind switched again...
Straight from the south...
Very chilly...so I went inside to clean up...shower etc...to get ready to go to my son's for the PARTY!!!!
I did mange to capture the sweet Chickadee and Purple Finch in one of my feeders outside the window...
The Finch is so bright!!
And then...off we went to join our family at the PARTY!!!!
Not a bad visit...but still so cold!!
Hope you are all having a great day...
Another beautiful one here...
Have already been to the park with Miss V...and we promised her another trip after her nap..♥️
Hopefully this weather will continue, and the real garden work can get started!!
I picked up a lovely planter for the front...
Yellow Pansies and Daffodils...
You can smell the Pansies as soon as you go in or out!!
The other beautiful one that Erika had given me...is ready to be planted in the garden, as soon as I top up the soil in a few beds...
My pussy willow twigs have green leaves on them!!
Think I will try and transplant them at the cottage...
BBQ'D Sausages on a bun and Greek Salad for dinner...
