The Beginning Of The Weekend Was Delightful!!












As promised...

My neighbour brought me some of his garlic from home...

I will plant mid October...

We will be Garlic growing buddies, Monique!

Bought a selection of grape heirloom tomatoes...

They were delicious in a Greek Salad on Friday night...
 

Never heard of Ferns...and green at that...in late September!!
 





Cut the grape tomatoes in halves...grabbed some fresh Basil from my garden...for the Greek Salad...I added the other goodies later....Got the onion roasted potatoes...skinless chicken thighs...bathed in buttermilk and coated with Panko...zucchinni with sliced red onion and parmesan cheese...in the oven...back out to the deck...for a bonfire...as the clouds were starting to roll in...
 




enjoyed the bonfire...

If we only knew what was to come on Saturday...

Geesh!!

WINDY...

RAINY...

BLUSTERY...

Along with a cold front!!

Stay tuned!!

Hope you all had a great weekend...

Thanks for all the good wishes for Miss V...she is much better♥️

What was the weather like where you are???

It has calmed down now...but was pretty wild at the lake...thought we might lose power...and that is NEVER fun!!

Enjoy the rest of your day...

                         Cheers!   :o)

      Hi Monique...
      Boots? High ones? High heels?
      The Monarchs migrate past the cottage....the Swallows are making it difficult for them!
      I need to stake the garlic?

      One is the dining table inside...the other is a 3 legged table on the kitchen porch...

    Garlic and tomatoes...mmm, delish!. You are having much variety of weather - soon the leaves will be all golden for you. Those ferns don't look like Fall - they are the same as my daughter's, come out in May. Spring is still springing over here, with cool mornings, but a hot day (29) forecast today. Nice bonfire!

    A nice break for you.
    Isn't the weather very changeable there? . . . . and when it is rough it is very rough . .
    Loved the bonfire shot . . warmed my hands because it has turned a bit colder here . . .
    Little Rosa is still not well settled . . . wants to be held all the time and takes ages to feed . . .
    Seeing her tomorrow . . :)

      Hi Eddie...
      With Peter tiring you out...and Rosa being fussy....you are having quite a time!
      We are warm again...,but cooler overnites...it is inevitable....Autumn is creeping in!
      Good luck with Rosa...did you try the soother?

    I've never grown garlic. Do you suppose the deer will eat it too?? I can't wait to have a bonfire when we get home. Haven't had one since early July and it was just to burn brush in the middle of the day! Have a good week.

    Beautiful photos. Mmmmm... garlic! Yes, the weekend was a bit of everything weather-wise, but loved Sunday and Monday.
    Had lunch with a friend in the Distillery today and having coffee with another tomorrow. So lovely to still sit outside.
