It seems like weeks, since we have seen its beauty...
And...with warm temps to go along with it...9*c today!!
I knew it would be a perfect day with our Miss V♥️
I planned the day out in my mind...
Pick her up at 11...
Lunch...bike ride...get the mail...a trip to the park...
It was to be sunny 'til early afternoon...so this was a great plan...
Everything went accordingly...
And I captured these pics of her..."riding" one of our garden Lambs...
It was after our bike ride and walk to the park...
She shed her riding helmet and jacket...and wanted to play in Nana's forest!
The shots came out beautifully...her cheeks still rosy from her ride...
She asked for "5 more minutes"...I agreed...who could resist??
After getting off the lamb...she did her usual running away...hahaha!
When I reminded her that we had a new book to read before her nap...
And a banana spice cake to bake after her nap...
She agreed to come in...
So...as predicted...the darn old clouds have rolled back in...
3:30 in the afternoon, and it is dark...
Turned on the Tree and all of my assorted fairy lights around the house...
I have everything ready for Miss V and I to work our magic in the kitchen...
We are good at banana loaves...NOT cookies!! hahaha!
She and her Mom are staying for dinner...Summer Pasta has been requested...
I have the garlic...grape tomatoes and zuchinni all chopped and ready...
Guess I better go and coax Miss Sleepyhead out of her toasty bed...
We got some baking to do!!!
Hope you are all having a great day, and you got to enjoy some sunshine...
Have a great evening...
Cheers! :o)

We sure are enjoying this sunshine and mild temps. I actually have a window and a door open...airing out paint fumes. The painters are finished and gone. Miss V's hair is getting so long. Just 5 more minutes...haha....I love it. They know how to melt our hearts, don't they? Have a great afternoon of baking with your little sweetness!
ReplyDeleteThey sure do Laurie♥️
DeleteWe made 2 loaves...turned out beautiful!
Enjoy your good weather...we are raining now. :o(
That first pic of her♥
ReplyDeleteI truly remember as if it was yesterday..our first..Lucas..here in the gardens w/ cheeks like that..
we had the same sun..but it lasted longer..;)
I want to French braid her sweet hair:) What a doll Linda.
Oh she sure is Monique!
DeleteI have tried to French braid her hair...think it just needs to be a wee bit thicker!
Should I dampen it? Would that make it easier to work with?
I used to do my girls hair♥️
Me too!
DeleteI think dry is easier..can't have a knot in it though..you two will always be best of friends..
That would be my greatest gift for sure...thanks for your thoughtful words...
DeleteToo chilly, here for hanging outside - but maybe soon!
ReplyDeleteHey Dixie! But......you live in Georgia! Not warm there?
DeleteSuch good photos! Perfect lighting. I'm liking her hair grown out...she looks so
ReplyDeletemuch older!
We had mostly grey today, but it wasn't cold. Rain later in the week..but still warm!
Nearly 3 1/2 Betsy....time flies,eh?
DeleteRaining here now...but still mild....crazy!
what a little beauty she is,, lovely photos, have fun baking,
ReplyDeleteThanks Laurie....
DeleteWe did have fun today....and baking!
Isn't she growing up fast . . . . but the magic is still there with play and adventure.
ReplyDeleteYou are really making a wonderful contribution to helping to build her character and happiness which she will carry all the days of her life . . .
I am feeling a lot better now ~ it has been the first day I have fely alive during the last fortnight. :)
Love the photos. She looks as though she is developing a super sense of humour . . . :)
Hi Eddie....
DeleteGlad you are feeling better....sometimes these bugs just won't let go...
She is hilarious...and beautiful!
It was a beauty of a day here, too, Linda. I had some gifts to pick up from an artist friend and then a trip to IKEA for another gift and ended up buying myself new tea-cups and more Christmas lights. I should never go in there. haha! Tomorrow calls for rain but still so warm for this time of year. That Miss V is such a cutie and my, she is growing up fast. Same with our Riley. They are both young ladies now.
ReplyDeleteIkea is a very dangerous place!
DeleteYes they are....
A sweet lamb... with another sweet lamb! You have captured her beautifully.
ReplyDeleteIt got up to 11C here - kinda scary how warm it is. I guess our chances of a white Christmas are nil. Ah well, enjoy it while we can.
Yum to the loaves!
Pretty nice photos,eh?
DeleteI will take the warm temps...no problem! Water still on at the cottage!
What fun with Miss V. I can't believe how long her hair is....when did that happen, or have I been seeing her wearing a cap?? We all think our grandchildren are the cutest in the world....but let me tell you, Miss V gets my vote.
ReplyDeleteKnow you Banana loaves will not be as fun as your cookie story...HaHa.
I usually put it in a pony or up with barrettes....but,with her bike helmet, it is better down...
DeleteIsn't she just so beautiful? And funny and smart and helpful...oh my...look at me gush!
Yes...those cookies will be our funniest baking story.....hopefully! Hahaha!
Well, look at that gorgeous girl sitting on the lamb - and would be know, there are similar lambs in a park where my daughter lives! I took photos of my littlest grandson sitting on one too. They are the cutest! 9 deg is a warm day? I would love a day so cool.... We are boiling over here...
ReplyDeleteI have 2...my flower lady used to work at a fabulous interior design store...one ear was missing, so they came to live in my garden!
DeletePatricia....9*c is WARM December....normal would be around 0!
Those are wonderful pictures! You take such great shots. Isn't this the most bizarre weather?? The fact that Miss V. can be out mid December without a coat on is remarkable. Enjoy your baking! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenn...this weather is awesome!
DeleteBaking went well!
It is sunny again this morning to oh my I love it two sunny mornings in a row ! What lovely photos and fun you two have ! Thanks for sharing , Have a good day !
ReplyDeleteNot here today...
DeleteOff to the cottage tomorrow!
How on earth do you get little Miss Sweetie to nap in the afternoon? My kids never napped after the age of 2! She is lovely with her long hair and dressed to kill! I'm sure Nana has a hand in the fashion!!! Weather is pretty darn nice...I would take this until March!!
ReplyDeleteWell.....
DeleteI read her a story of her choice...lay for a few minutes with her....and promise to do anything she wants AFTER her nap! Hahaha!
Erika dresses her very nicely...has tons of shoes!
Yup...loving the weather too!
These are such sweet pics of Miss V. You are blessed that she still has an afternoon nap!! Hope the bread turned out. :)
ReplyDeleteWe usually have to open her door, and let her wake up! Loves her nap!
DeleteBread was delish...just had a piece with berries and yogurt!
We had 2 glorious days of sunshine, and now it has vanished. But the good part is now all the dust isn't showing up in the house :)
ReplyDeleteAdorable Miss V, love those rosy cheeks.
OH gosh....I hear 'ya about the darn dust! My worst enemy!
ReplyDeleteNo sun today....:o(
Love those Rosey cheeks too!
What a wonderful Wednesday!! A great way to spend the day for you both. Glad that the baking worked better this time! xx
ReplyDeleteIt was Amy.....
DeleteShe is a cutie. A lovely way to spend the day with your sweet Little. Happy holidays Linda.
ReplyDeleteHI Linda...long time no see!
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
What are you going to do when that sweet girl goes to kindergarten?
ReplyDeleteCry my eyes out.....:o(
DeleteThat child just keeps getting cuter and cuter.
ReplyDeleteI am liking this warmer weather, and it does make going back and forth to Rochester on work days so much easier. I only had to scrape frost from my windshield once this year. That's a plus.
:0)
I know! And I love it!
DeleteIt sure does make getting around a lot easier!
Have a great weekend!
Delicious Miss V photos . . .
ReplyDeleteWhat a Gift this day must have been for each of you . . .
Just plain yummy delicious!
♥️
DeleteOh good, I haven't fallen that far behind in your blogs. By now you must have come and gone to the cottage. I love Miss V.'s boots, especially in the one without colour, (sepia?) except for the blue of the boots. Very arty, LSK. :) We attended the annual Indonesian Xmas evening last night and there was our 94 year old former local mayor, still as feisty as ever and driving herself in her SUV. Hmm...not sure how comfortable I am with that! Enjoy the warm weather, although we're supposed to have rain today...
ReplyDeleteHi Hester...
DeleteYes...the cottage was beautiful and sunny, but rather windy!!
I do those photos on Pic Monkey...I like the look of one thing being coloured..very arty, indeed!!
Oh good old Hazel...gotta love her!
Yes...rainy and gloomy again today...oh well...such is life,eh?
Enjoy your day!
I've been catching up (yet again!) with you Linda. Your Miss V is a sweetheart, and she is going to remember riding the garden lamb for many years. You two have such fun together, and she obviously thinks the world of her Grandma! Loved the stories of the 'failed' cookies ... and that look on her face trying to please you. Your Christmas decorating looks beautiful, and I hope you do get to spend New Year's at the cottage. The temps are so warm, but gosh, I could do with some sunshine again over these very dark cloudy days!! Enjoy your weekend :)
ReplyDeleteWendy
Hi Wendy...
Deletethanks for visiting...you are probably busy with your fabulous knitting projects...
Have a great week ahead, Wendy!
Your little Miss V gets prettier by the day! And what a great time you had---she's at the perfect age to do so many varied activities. And you are a terrific grandmother!!
ReplyDeleteGloomy crappy weather here although it's been quite warm. I guess if it were freezing we'd all be complaining as well! lol!
Can't wait to hear about your dinner party!
Jane x
Isn't she a doll!
DeleteHad a great time with our guests....great food!
Oh my goodness, I still cannot get over how fast she's growing up.
ReplyDeleteYes....and oddly enough, I have not aged a day!
