I noticed the Moon, out my kitchen window...
Out I ran, to get a shot of it...
How fabulous is that!!
When I turned around...
I spied one of my Limelight Hydrangeas...
How glorious she looked in the early morning...
After my breakfast...And Coronation Street...
I went up to streak my hair...
I found this product a few months ago...
I like the really white blonde it gives me...
My hairdresser...who is also my back neighbour...told me to add corn starch to thicken it...then I just apply with my gloved fingers...hi-lites where you want them!!
And not too pricey..at $10!
While waiting for my hair to do "it's thing"...
I sat at the computer...
When I stared out the window...
I saw this!!
A vine climbing up one of our trees, has already turned red!!
Imagine that!!
On this...the first day of September...
After showering and getting myself together...
I ventured down to Winners to return a lamp I had bought a few weeks ago...
I did get a b'day present for someone, and a lovely grey sweater for myself!!
Tee hee hee!!
Then...
It was on to the Greenhouse, to get a few plants for the front and back...
I had only bought 2 planters this year...and they were...to say the least...looking pretty darn sad!!
So...
I picked up a few Fountain Grasses...and some Mums...and a big planter with both in them...
I think the colour will be fabulous...but I am not done yet...the weeks will bring lots of Fall colour to my garden!!
After all of that was squared away...
I was sweating!!
Gosh...it is oppressive out there!!! Really humid and hot!!
I got my toes painted!
Isn't this a great colour!!
Then...
It was time to make a cup of tea..
My daughter Lissa gave me this box of tea, at her BBQ...
Very delicious indeed....Thanks Doll♥️
This is how my first day of September has gone so far...
What have you been up to??
Hot where you are???
My son is coming over, and boyfriend and I are going to treat him to dinner out!
Sounds like a perfect plan to me!!
Cooks night off! I like it!!
Hope you are having a great day....
Enjoy the rest of it...
Happy September my friends!!
Cheers! :o)

Goodness Linda...this sounds like a perfect day. All that fun stuff AND dinner out. Fabulous! Love the vine photo. So pretty even if it is a sign of fall. There are plenty of signs around here, too. The sumacs are turning red already. Have a nice dinner out and hope the new doo looks great. :) Deb
ReplyDeleteIt was Deb.....had fun!
DeleteI am nice and blonde again!
Enjoy your evening!
Fresh hair and toes! That pink is so bright, you'll glow in the dark! haha....
ReplyDeleteLove the color of that mum....I'm going to look for that color to put in my wicker stand on the porch...lovely!
Very hazy here....no moon!
Glow in the dark . . lol
DeleteForgive me Linda, I am in a silly mood . . . :)
Mums come in such lovely colours!
DeleteEddie...behave!
Autumn is creeping up slowly...but I don't let go of summer until the 21st! I love the grasses,I'd seen them in a garden and hoped they were perennials,but I guess not.
ReplyDeleteJane x
Me either Jane! Hang on til the bitter end!
DeleteNo...the fountain grasses are annuals...but....I LOVE them!
I noticed the glorious moon too! So pretty. We are noticing many signs of Fall here, and it is early. But it is still quite hot! Only mid 90's today. Almost feels chilly!!!
ReplyDeleteToday is our 36th anniversary. Saturday, Greg's 60th birthday party. We also have the grands one night. Busy weekend.
XO Kris
You guys are so young!
DeleteHappy Anniversary....and Happy Birthday to your Greg!
Have a great weekend!
Had to laugh when yoy said:
ReplyDelete" As soon as I came down this morning...
I noticed the Moon, out my kitchen window...
Out I ran, to get a shot of it..."
Was it misbehaving? . . lol
Yes it is amazing how fast the Summer has gone . . . it always leaves me a little sad.
Coronation Street!! . . . you watch it there? I come fro, those there parts and used to speak like that . . lol
Do you watch the Australian soaps? Maria used to like Home and Away and we both watched Emmerdale. That takes place across the Pennines from Coronation Street.
Weather absolutely pants here . . .raining for the last 2 days . . :)
Pardon me I misread it . . . thought you said you shot at it . . lol . . . drunk again . . lol
DeleteHi Eddie....
DeleteYou ok tonight? Hahaha!
I have watched Coronation for YEARS.....love it! Daughter Erika is also a fan....
No Australian soaps here...
Sounds like a great start to September!!! I hope that the rest of the month is just as good. The plants all look really great don't they! xx
ReplyDeleteHi Amy....
DeleteYes...I am heading back next week...once this heat wave ends!
Sounds like a really lovely start to the month. It's been very sticky around here. Hot and humid!
ReplyDeleteHey Martha!
DeleteThxs for stopping by....you must be really busy right about now!
Best of luck!
Now you just can't get any cuter toes and polish. Love your limelights and mums! You had a very productive day this first day of Sept. I had dinner out with the hubs and then a movie. We saw A Walk in The Woods. It was pretty good, but not as good as some old ladies in the theater thought. They laughed so hard I thought they would wet their pants or lose their dentures, one.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Sounds like you had a nice day too!
DeleteMy toes are visible for miles!
Your limelight is beautiful and I love the feathery beauties in your new planters.
ReplyDeleteNew hair and new toes... top to bottom fun!
Happy September - though it sure doesn't feel like it.
Yes...nice blonde hair! It fades...so I do it every 6 weeks or so....lots of grey now :o(
DeleteHappy September to you!
What a lovely garden you have... Love the pictures! Reading your post was soothing to the eyes :-) have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHello! Welcome....I always ask....how did you find me?
DeleteI will visit you.....
Happy September, Linda. That red vine is stunning, a sign of Fall to come. I love that in Canada. Meantime, your toes are certainly still celebrating Summer. 1st September here, I have caught the prevailing 'flu virus :( ...so taking time out for a couple of days.
ReplyDeleteI also like the changing colours....but NOT what comes after that!
DeleteSorry you are ill.....take care♥️
Gorgeous moon shot. Lots of pampering for you. Love that red vine, but it seems too early to be changing colour ... hopefully it isn't telling us something.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda....I think....hope...we have a lovely warm Fall.....ok?
DeleteWe were out all afternoon..Little had only half day..so we took advantage of it and took Oli out for his birthday lunch and shopping.Such a doll..
ReplyDeleteNana must have tried 12 pairs of shoes on him..he never complained! Didn't find any but he found a t shirt.. a backpack and a dinisaur.
It was sweltering hot!
But remember snowsuits?Lol.
Love your new and refreshed plant choices..you should see my nasturtiums..one pot must have 200 leaves..3 blooms..the other..no leaves all blooms..leggy leggy ..not pretty.
That is nice of you to share your trade secrets..I did mine for yrs..but it's long..and one time the bleach went though the cap..I had clients in the afternoon..
That's when I stopped..but did them for YRS..
Corn starch tip is good!
It's funny I always nice strong nails..but I am a gardener and a crafter and baker..so my hands are never sitting pretty..a couple of months ago in a pharmacy..the beautician said try this ..VITRY..well lo and behold..it is magic..not instant..takes a few weeks of doing what they say..but strong strong..:)
Hope you had a nice dinner..ps..no email..wonder where it went..
Lovely day with Oli♥️
DeleteMy Nasturtions last year did the same thing....so...none this year!
Yes...the corn starch thickens the mixture, so it doesn't drip!
My ginger nails are hideous....I will look that up! Thxs...
Had a lovely dinner at Swiss Chalet!
I got the email address off your blog.....hmmmmm
should have worked..

You had a busy first day of September! Sounds like fun too. Always nice to find a bargain at Winners. I love the fountain grass and your fall mums. My annuals are doing pretty good so far. I will buy a mum plant later on. Enjoy these lovely warm days! xx Pam
ReplyDeleteI did!
DeleteMy annuals in baskets at the cottage, are still doing well...
Hopefully they aren't shrivelling in this heat!!!
Oh my I'm behind.....life got in the way when I was trying to visit blog friends. YOUR photos are marvelous. Several of them would make great headers...especially the vine in the tree. Love it. Your bright pink toes are happy. We got got a call that a dear friend (90) had passed away from our church up North. They asked my dearest to do the service so packing for a quick trip. One good thing, I will get to visit our old Pumpkin Patch (which I have missed) so I can gather some pumpkins to bring home.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week...will check in when we get back. Hugs
Better late than never, eh Wanda?
DeleteHave a safe trip....
Is it wrong that in my mind, I already see Christmas lights and snow around that tree?
ReplyDeleteYes...very wrong Ivy!
DeleteLots of time for snow and lights....let's enjoy the Fall!
How you feeling?
Good. How about you?
DeleteI giggled a lot when I read this blog, I love the way you share your beauty secrets. Lovely "pedi" and I'm sure that your hair is looking good too. And now, thanks to you, I learned the name of our fountain grasses which we placed in the centre of a couple of our planters In the spring. I remember that you like Swiss Chalet, nice that you were there with your men. We drove up to St. Catherine's last night for Italian, it's a regular meet up spot with our friends who live in Niagara on the Lake. Take care...
ReplyDeleteAll the way to St Catherine's? Wow!
DeleteYou pass the exit to our cottage....Vineland, and then straight south for about 20 minutes!
Have a great long weekend!
Shhhhhhhhocking pink... Always a great color!
ReplyDeleteHi Blue!
DeleteI love shocking people!
Back atcha . . . Happy September to you as well . . .
ReplyDeleteYou can see how far behind I am . . .September 3 already . . .
Like that moon pic . . .
Would love to see your hair with the highlights and hear more about the "how to!"
Hi Lynne....
DeleteMore blonde than actual highlights...but I leave the back hair at the neck dark...
How to? Grab a clump, and apply mixture! Hahaha! Not very scientific I am a afraid!
Hi Linda! What a perfect first day of September! I love that red vine greeting you on the first day. Like a little of nature's bunting to get you started. Your plantings are all lovely. You will have a beautiful fall! So nice to have a visit from you!
ReplyDeleteIt is always a pleasure visiting and getting a visit from you!
DeleteHave a great long weekend!!
