This post was already to go last Friday morning....
Unfortunately...we had no cable or internet!!!
Imagine that!!! hahaha!
So....
Here we go...a few days late...forgive me??
I knew you would...
Well here we are...on the last day of July...already!!
Why does the Winter drag on for so long...but the Summer flies by??
Seems like yesterday, we were opening the cottage for the Season...
Great plans for all that we would accomplish this Summer...
Dreams are wonderful...what would we do with out them, eh??
Another year goes by, since my brother Tom passed away...
Hardly seems possible that it is 18 years already...
Gosh...a lifetime for some...
You may remember last year I posted a few pics of him...
And the Sunflower that Red was kind enough to plant in a wall planter for me...
Well...You won't believe it...but there is another one this year...
It won't flower today.... like last year...but none the less it is there♥️
Here she is!!!
Delighted to be in her new Minnie Mouse jammies!!
And the next morning...off to school...
Hope you all had a great weekend...
A long one here for us in Canada...
The weather was...shall we say...unpredictable at the least!!
Had all my kids out yesterday...for the afternoon and a delicious dinner...
Took lots of pics...so will share soon...
Enjoy the rest of your day...
Grilled Lambchops...wild rice...greek salad for us tonight...yum!!
Cheers! :o)

Happy August!!!!
Your white perennials....worth the wait. So sorry for the loss of your brother. Even though it's been 18 years, I'm sure it seems like yesterday to you. Miss V looks so cute in her sweet little dress, ready for school.
ReplyDeleteThanks Laurie! Yes...it does♥️
DeleteShe looks good in anything!
Love the white...altogether, they would make a gorgeous bridal bouquet!
ReplyDeleteYes...I guess they would! Know anybody getting married?
DeleteI love that white flowers glow in the dusk...magical.
ReplyDeleteJane x
Yes...I like that too!
Delete"Happy August to you, too, Linda." I would love to surround my home with white perennials some day. Love your photos and how cute is Miss V.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb! Let's hope it goes real slow! Enjoy!
DeleteBeautiful white flowers . . . love the little Minnie outfit and Happy August to you too. My son's wedding on Saturday and Peter is a Page Boy dressed in a waistcoat and grey suit and tie . . . like us and I think he will enjoy being one of the boys. Seen an adorable photo of him with his little 15 inch legs sticking out of the suit . . . lol
ReplyDeleteHi Eddie!
DeleteLooking forward to pics of the wedding!
Hope the weather is picture perfect!
Happy Ontario Civic holiday! Nice that you had your family at the cottage. Love Miss V.'s MM jammies and off to school outfit, so, so sweet. Homemade spinach quiche and tossed salad here for dinner. Okay, I cheated a little, store bought crust, homemade filling. Like your new header. Feet, flowers and fire. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Hester! So.....only in Ontario? Geesh...I need to get out more! Can you tutor me? Hahaha!
DeleteHome made quiche sounds delish....store bought? Perfect!
Yes...the 3 f's....enjoy your week.....
Oops, just googled it, a holiday in every province except QC. and Yukon, just called by a different name in some provinces. So you need to tutor me, ha, ha. Have a good week too.
DeleteNow....that would be funny!
DeleteI love white too. So pure so almost "holy"....your pictures are righteous. And Miss V. What a doll, and that expression her face with her new jamies is so adorable and I see YOU in her so much the older she gets. I like the quilt on her bed. And doesn't she look cute ready for school. She growing up so fast. Sending Hugs.
ReplyDeleteWanda, you are so gracious! You think she looks like me? True compliment♥️
DeleteThe quilt is reversible...I like it too!
Have a great week....
All the flowers look gorgeous and beautiful Lunda!
ReplyDeleteMake me think i spring!
And of course I love Minnie Mousse yammies of Miss V she look cute and adorable:))
xoxo
I hope Spring comes for you soon, Gloria!
DeleteBeautiful purity in those white flowers.
ReplyDeleteSweet jammies and stuffed friends on her bed.
I am laughing at the back-to-school photo as it looks like she is carrying a Starbucks coffee cup!
Ha! Soon Suzanne! That is her water cup that she takes everyday!
DeleteIsn't she sweet with her "pack pack"....♥️
She is indeed - a very studious little lady!
DeleteLovely white flowers - so clean and neat. Miss Vi must have been thrilled with her new pj"s - so sweet! Heard your weather was a little 'stormy' over the weekend. Not here - hot and high thirties with sunny, sunny skies. Gotta love the Okanagan!
ReplyDeleteShe loved them! Standing on her tippy toes!
DeleteYes...very strange weather, indeed!
Yes, I guess you gotta! Glad you are happy♥️
methinks that the first photo is famous Russian kalina :) We had it before in our old yard, and Russians even have many songs about it :)
ReplyDeleteHi Dez.....
DeleteThat is what we call Hydrangea! Never heard of yours! I am sure it is just as beautiful....
How are you?
Wonderful whites!!!! You do have to love them don't you. All good thoughts and hugs about your brother. xx
ReplyDeleteYes...I do!
DeleteAnd...I miss my brother♥️....thanks dear...
gorgeous white blooms, Miss V looks cute in her new pjs, the weather has changed after the storms of the weekend, much nicer for doing things,
ReplyDeleteHi Linda....windows open! I just need to get motivated! Staying inside sometimes makes me lazy!
DeleteFor goodness sakes . . . I LOVE your whites . . . and Minnie Mouse charmer . . .
ReplyDeleteWonderful post . . .
Since I am new to you and yours, I don't know about your brother . . .
Thanks Lynne....the white really pops in the garden....
DeleteCut a few Hydrangeas this past weekend....
she has totally lost that toddler look. now she's a little lady. so adorable.
ReplyDeleteand the white flowers... i absolutely love them. and with the deep greens... oh my.
i think they're my favorites. they always look fresh and cool to me.
i remember seeing pictures of audrey hepburn's very own beloved 'white garden'.
yours made me think of hers. so beautiful! xo
Hi Tammy....
DeleteYes...she is getting big, that's for sure! And smart,too!
Compared to Audrey....now I am blushing!
