It's raining...
It's pouring...
My garden is happy...
and...
So is this wee guy ♥️
Took all of these thru the window...
Hope it rains all day...
Sheets changed and washed...
White load done and folded...
Cottage laundry done and ready to go back...
I have a pork tenderloin for dinner...
Not sure whether to slice and grill like medallions...or go for the oven, and roast it whole??
Ahh....decisions...decisions....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hope you all had a great weekend...
Ours was verrrryyyy relaxing at the cottage...
Finished up another crochet project...boyfriend finished his latest read...
The most noise we heard, was from the sprinkler...watering...
Everything was as dry as a stick...lots of cleaning up to do... :/
Not my favorite of garden chores....to say the least...
Next weekend will come soon enough for that job...YUCK!!

We just finished cutting and trimming the grass in hopes that the rain comes and greens it back up again. I'm working on a project (in the garage) in case it doesn't dry in time before the rain comes. It is coming our way isn't it? It says most of it will be overnight, .... but tomorrow is Tuesday and that is grocery day and it usually rains on grocery day!!
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will get it Linda...we got a darn good soaking here...hope the cottage is just as lucky!
DeleteI am grocery shopping tomorrow too!!
ReplyDeleteWell it's not raining..it'sabout 100 in the sun.. colled down..
tomorrow we expect rain..and the gardens need it..I was hoping for sunshine though as one of our families is in Prince Edward County..Sandbanks.. I want them to have sun..:)
I washed floors early this AM and then decide to steam one so had to pop into the store for distilled water.
Just made a new Caesar sald dressing from my friend Susan..but tonight we cheat..Costco carries Schwartz's or Dunn's smoked meat..so that and rye bread and home baked fries..easy..
Everything looks so refreshed w/ the rain there!
Really? Maybe you will get it overnite...Dinner sounds delicious!
DeleteI opted for the grilled medallions, and a mix of peppers,onions and potatoes!
Oh my gosh I should spellcheck...cooled down....decided....OOPS.
ReplyDeleteNo worries...I knew what you meant!
DeleteEnjoy your evening!
The rain has just arrived, and the builders have gone for the day. I posted a blog post...and that's it.
ReplyDeleteDinner? Stuffed portabello, with veg and potato (not decided how to do the potatoes yet).

Potatoes for me...are good ANY WAY!
DeleteSuch a lovely touch you have to your "Wake Up . . . "
ReplyDeleteI love that I found you and have your visits in my life.
Loved the rain photos, little bird visitor, cup, apple slices . . .
and so much more . . .
Why thanks so much Lynne...so nice of you to say!
DeleteI should visit you...your posts are lovely!
Love that bright yellow birdhouse!
ReplyDeleteHaven't gone out yet today...
Spent Saturday in the Haliburton Highlands for work/play. Such a beautiful spot. Sunday I got together with my brother's partner who lives in Edmonton. He died in 2007 and she has married but we still keep in touch. She was amazing throughout his illness. Lovely to see her.
I stayed inside ALL DAY!! AND....I liked it!
DeleteI like the yellow as well...so cheery!
Looks like you had a lovely weekend away...good for you!!
So nice that you keep in touch♥️
We were very lucky with the weather for my son's wedding . . it was glorious sunshine for two days . . . and a lot of the reception day was outdoors away from the hall and that was so much better dry. We had a sizeable firework display too which was a great surprise abd very professional.
ReplyDeleteLove your pics showing the wet outdoors and glad you had a soporific weekend at the cottage . . . . zzzz . . lol
You sure worked hard at the laundry . . :)
Hi Eddie....
DeleteFireworks sounds amazing!! I love that idea!!
Sporofic???? Why...yes...I did!! thanks!
I like doing laundry...kind of satisfying...you know?
and clean sheets is one of my passions....I do that several times a week...
Yes I like the sheets nice and fresh and hang them outside after washing. But watching me put the duvet into the cover must be a sight ro remember . . lol . . . when finished THAT is a sense of achievement . . haha. Missing my tuxo, rather liked it . . :)
DeleteMy mom used to hang outside....I had a small clothesline years ago...gave it up! Extra work lugging it outside and then back in!
DeleteI don't like duvets! I prefer a cotton blanket....and in the winter fleece sheets!
Let's see the pics from the wedding!
ok . . . coming up . . .:)
Deletedone . . :)
DeleteI will be over shortly!!
DeleteI grill my tenderloin whole and then slice it in to medalions! Tasty any way you make it, though.
ReplyDeleteI watched it rain today, too!
I have a grill pan for the stove top.....
DeleteI slice it thick, marinate in worcheshire and ground black pepper....grill til pink! Delish!
I actually enjoyed the rain!
Love me a pork tenderloin! Lovely rain falling on your gardens, and the cute birdie with his umbrella. It is a bit dry here, low humidity with the cold mornings, and the plants are rather thirsty. A bit of rain would be helpful :) Have a great week Linda.
ReplyDeleteSoon you will have Spring! Is it like our Spring? With the traditional flowers?
DeleteWe do get our flowering annuals coming out late winter into Spring, Linda, however they are the tough ones like pansies and petunias. Sadly, it is too tropical here for the wonderful lilacs, daffodils, tulips, forget-me-nots etc etc that I love in Canada. I do enjoy our spring though because once the summer heat hits all the flowers die :( Off to a garden centre today for a few blooms.
DeleteWonderful! Have a great time!
DeleteThanks for the info....learning so much about your part of the world!
Does your daughter and family visit you?
Lovely photos . Watching the rain and listening to it was what I was doing earlier this evening now it has stopped cooled down after it got foggy and very humid and having a cuppa tea reading blogs and listening to the crickets as the windows are open with the cool fresh breeze blowing in ! Thanks for sharing . Have a good evening !
ReplyDeleteSounds heavenly Elaine!
DeleteI don't see any old men snoring! Oh wait, is that the drunk bird up there? Is he snoring?
ReplyDeleteNope....no drunk old men snoring here! Hahaha!
DeleteThat wee Chicadee is cracking a sunflower seed....you enjoying your week?
I love this bear with umbrella and the flowers:)
ReplyDeleteHere is raining too:)
xo
Hi Gloria....that is a bird!
DeleteGonna rain again today!
We have had the craziest weather all summer!!! I am ready for winter. But it won't be coming for quite some time yet!
ReplyDeleteWhat did you make??
XO Kris
Don't even say Winter! Please!
DeleteI have made a few of my cowls....will do a post soon!
We have the rain now. The world looks wet and green from my windows. The cats and I will be content to snuggle in and read murder mysteries today. A good rainy summer day can be delightful. love.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice when you can just hibernate in the rain...I don't mind at all!!
DeleteThese are great rainy day pictures through the windows, Linda. Sunny again today but the wind is quite strong. Rain starts tonight here and through tomorrow but not heavy. I think I'll head to town tomorrow which will probably be crowded due to the rain and back to school shoppers!!
ReplyDeleteWe are having a very pleasant day here...unfortunately they are saying rain for the weekend!
DeleteHave fun!!
