Cottage Bouquets & A Very Special Visitor.....




Another very interesting weekend at the cottage...
Friday was bitterly cold, with the wind off the Lake...
It finally turned to a North wind, and we were able to enjoy a bit of late day sunshine... 

My bouquets this weekend, were built with a few Mauve Lilacs in bloom...several Tulips, and some false Solomons Seal...

They came together nicely for yet another weekend arrangement!!

Even captured a Lady Bug...did you see her??




 We enjoyed a lovely fire after dinner...and boy oh boy, is that furnace getting a workout this Spring!!

SOOOO glad we put that in last Fall!

I made a small arrangement for the kitchen shelf...

A few Lily of the Valley...

Perfect for that spot!

 

Saturday started out rather frosty...as the day progressed, it warmed up to about 14*c...still rather chilly for this time of year...we got a lot of yard work accomplished...and even had a nice visit from my daughter Lissa and SIL Jeff! we huddled together in the sunshine to keep warm!! hahaha!
 



 Sunday was still breezy, but a lot warmer...

 We stayed 'til 4:30, and the car said it was 21*c...much better!! As we approached Burlington it was 30*c!!!
Strange how the weather changes, when you go around one of The Great Lakes!!

 All in all..a very nice weekend...

 And we had the sweetest little visitor!!

 A cute Tea Cup Bunny was munching in the drive way all weekend!! Hope he is still there next weekend!!

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Happy Memorial Day to my American friends...

I have been a bad blogger...need to visit you all!!

Weekends at the cottage sure interfere with commenting!!

Forgive me??

Hahaha!



Enjoy your evening...And your fireworks!!

                                 Cheers!  :o)

    Yes, of course we forgive you! As if there was anything to forgive! Beautiful flowers, that is a tiny tiny ladybug isn't it! The weather here has been very strange, not really that warm at all over the long weekend. We really need to get some heat around here!! Hope you get some too!! xx

    How cute.. here they can be a bit hungry and munch on pretties..but I will take them any day over squirrels;)
    Saw your little Ladybug..

    Imagine letting real life interfere with blogging. Oops, wait a minute I did that for a couple of weeks too. The bouquets look lovely, would they be related to Mrs Bucket? pronounced bouquet.

    It sure was cold on Friday, Linda! I was freezing, in a cashmere sweater and a heavy wool coat, plus scarf! Love your flowers, and I will miss the lilac and the lily of the valley when I go home; they are such romantic and fragrant blooms. The little bunny is absolutely adorable :)

    I wouldn't consider you to be a bad blogger, especially since your photos make your blog readers smile! And after many tries, I can't find the lady bug either...hmmm. Have a nice rest of the week, LSK. :)

    A good weekend at your cottage is an excused absence from blogging! Love the vases of flowers and a visit from the children is always wonderful!

    Yep...weather changes here and there and willy nilly all the time here, too! Spring, right?
