Today.....







I have been on an unexpected leave of absence...
Last we spoke...
I was heading to our friends home on Clear Lake in Lakefield Ontario...
That went very well...had a lovely relaxing time...
Sat by the Lake...laughed...ate...drank...ate and laughed some more!
Their home is gorgeous...they tore down their summer home...
And built a year round home...all their design...beautiful!
I had prepared a post about our trip...but Thursday got in the way...
Miss V was here early...as she had been nursing a fever for almost a week...
She had been having diarrhea, and it was a school trip that day...
Better idea to stay with us...
All went well...shopping...lunch...nap...
After the nap, she began getting a wee bit on the warm side...
And then the vomiting started...YIKES!!! She was not well...at all...
After a few hours, things calmed down...she and her Mom went home after 6...
The Friday prior, she had been at emergency, with severe stomach pain...
Apparently your lymph nodes can become enlarged...
The Dr's thought this was what has happening...
I did not know there were lymph nodes in the tummy!!
If they become infected...they swell...and cause pain...
With the vomiting etc...they felt this may have been the lymph nodes again...
She was ok Thursday night...but Friday morning the fever was back...
Her Mom took her to a Childrens Hospital in Hamilton...
The Dr there felt, that this was a good thing...
And the infection...which may have been strep...would now subside...
After we heard the news...we felt it safe to go to the cottage...
SO...off we went Friday morning...
Several texts later...Miss V was just fine...phew...albeit, tired!!

The weather this weekend was incredible!!!
HOT***HOT***HOT***...did I mention Humid???
Unfortunately Saturday brought me the same symptons as our Miss V...
The day was up and down for me...I was fine on Sunday...so...
We stayed another night...and enjoyed a very relaxing day...
And a beautiful pink sky with a 3/4 Moon shining down on us...
We arrived home before noon...very HOT here again...so...
My boyfriend put our sprinkler out in the front garden...
I happened to look out the window...and...caught this baby Robin...
Enjoying a nice full bird bath...
Made my day!!

I took hundreds of photos on the weekend...
And I still have the pics of our trip to our friends home...
I am full of things to post about...and...it is going to be HOT all week...
Very high humidity...and humidex in the upper 30's!!

Hope you are all fine and dandy...
Betsy and Eddie were so nice to write and ask me where I was...
Thanks guys...I appreciate that...truly...♥️
You both give blogging a very good name... 

So...tonights dinner will be...grilled pork tenderloin medallions...
Toasty crispy grilled potatoes...and a side of...
Fresh peppers...all colours...mushrooms and onion...
                 Sound good??? I think so...

Enjoy the rest of your day...
Hot where you are?? Or rainy???
Have a great week...
    
                Cheers!  :o)

    Glad Miss V is on the mend...and you, too!
    What a sweet baby Robin....I have not seen a young one around here! We had a few crazy adults that
    starved themselves here over the winter...maybe they didn't have the energy come spring to make a nest
    and start a family...lol.... And your sprinkler is the prettiest one I've ever seen...looks like a garden ornament!
    Great minds....I just wrote pork tenderloin on my shopping list for tomorrow! Love those medallions..meat just
    doesn't get any more tender than that!
    Same weather here...SO humid it's almost too thick and hot to breathe when outside...horrible!

    By tonight you would have been adding me to the list of people wondering how you were. I was thinking I would wait to see if you posted today. Glad everyone is on the mend. What is worse than flu in the hot summer. The robin shots are beautiful. I've been trying to catch a blue-jay in our bird-bath this weekend but no luck. He's shy and takes off as soon as I approach and it's too far from the kitchen window. Looking forward to seeing your friend's beautiful home. I'm nosey like that. haha! Stay cool...we are feeling the same weather here. *blah*

    So sorry to hear about the ickies for you and Miss V, I hope that you are both much better now. I have just been catching up with several days worth of blog posts, so I hadn't noticed your absence if you see what I mean as I had been absent too. Glad to hear from you though as I would have wondered otherwise. I love your sprinkler! Keep taking good care of yourself. xx

    The Robin was waiting an awfully long time for you to get those shots, He was saying to himself, "Where on Earth is Linda, Eddie is getting worried? Wish she'd hurry up, all those earthworms are getting away and I'm starving!" , , lol. Great shots, Linda.
    Like all your bloggy buddies I am so pleased you and little Miss V are getting better from that nasty dose of whatever it was, when we sometimes don't know which end to attend to first . . . lol . . . such indignity strikes only occasionally thank goodness.
    Take care and glad to see you back in BlogLand . . . cheers, Eddie

    I too am so relieved and I was just about to e-mail you today. That tummy thing is the worst, it went through our house, even my little NY grand daughter had it on their flight home from France last week. Glad that Miss V. and you are feeling much better. Temps in the 90's F. and high humidity predicted for the rest of the week here in NY. Take care, I look forward to seeing all of your posts and photos. :)

    I noticed you were missing, but I have been "missing" somewhat too.
    I hope you are feeling better and the tummy sickness is gone for good.
    Today I found out my husband now has two cousins in your town, one that loves blueberry pie...
    Sigh... Will I ever make it there?
    July is almost gone and August will be upon us.
