Deletehe is a fussy fella..I love him..but he is fussy.

Very thin....especially snobby Mary! Hahaha!
DeleteLike the header, Linda.
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference a year makes ~ totally different weather . . . :)
Love the blooms . . . in fact all the photos, last year and this . .
Hi Eddie.....
DeleteI liked the pic for the header...cute bird!
Totally different weather! Hope it stays like this!
LOLOL! that's because all your snow has decided to hit the northeastern US this year!
ReplyDeleteit's giving you a break.
and oh cc girl.
when i came here and that darling wee sparrow face greeted me first thing!!!
such an adorable little fellow so up close and personal!
they are my favorites.
they're not all bright and flashy and maybe no one would call them gorgeous.
but they get along well with others. they're not bullies.
and they're the little common folk of the bird world. i just love them.
so thank you. and... the begonias aren't half bad either! LOLOL!
XO♥
Isn't that the cutest wee guy? I had to feature him....
DeleteLove the Begonias...can't wait to plant more this summer...
Enjoy your week...
Love your header . We are having the same weather as you are all though we are only a few hours south west of you we can have very different weather yup rain storm coming for us tomorrow evening and overnight into Wednesday thank goodness it isn't snow cause all our snow is gone now , but I hear snow for the northern parts of our Ontario with the storm YIKES ! Lovely photos , the sun and warmer temps have been just wonderful hasn't it ? Oh yeah your leaving to warmer climates soon I bet your excited about that . Thanks for sharing , have a good day !
ReplyDeleteYes....we are starting to get anxious....enjoy your evening
DeleteWe had sunshine today and warmer temps are expected the next few days!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the cold and snow will show up eventually!
You're doing great on the packing! Won't be long now!
Hope the clear weather holds...til we get thru Ohio!
DeleteI was pleased with my packing...wish I had some newer summer clothes :o(
Hi Linda - nice weather you are having and so different from your pics of last year, although I think the snow is beautiful, especially when you can view it from a comfortable place at the window! :) Lovely little birdies and those begonias are one of my favorite flowers...like roses that will grow in the shade. I love your cardinal photos, too. We don't have them here - such amazing birds. We are having a mild winter here in Western Washington State, so far, although today was cool - barely out of the 30's. Take care - I will stop by your lovely blog again! (New follower) xx Karen
ReplyDeleteHi Karen....so glad to have you here!
DeleteBegonias are the best flowers...I had some beauties last summer...
Looking forward to seeing you again!
Beautiful photos from last year. What a difference from this year. The sun spilling in to your kitchen looked so warm and inviting. We've had several wonderful days. Sunny and 68 degrees Farenheit today. It was gorgeous. Hopefully, you will have equally nice days on your vacation.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope your warmth continues...I will be South next week!
DeleteEnjoy your week,Laurie
You're right, that was quite a scene - lot of ketchup or something! Sitting here tonight in the dark with no hydro; luckily our ipads still work.
ReplyDeleteHi Furry!
DeleteHahaha....you saw that! Love when it splattered on his wife!
No hydro? Why?
Amazing before and afters. Crazy weather! Personally, I miss winter but I'm in the vast minority. Just doesn't seem right.
ReplyDeleteThose are candy-coloured flowers!
I bet you're getting excited for your trip. Did you get the fun image in an e-mail I sent a while ago about the loonie? Hope so!
Crazy!
DeleteYes...getting organized.....
Hmmmmm.....don't recall! Was it worth $1 US? Hahaha!
Beautiful photos again,Linda...I love the cardinal, have never seen a real one!! Very hot here, we have had endless days of 26 deg C plus, it's quite exhausting! Grandson T had his first day at school yesterday and little sister G started pre school today, they grow up so fast....am planning an Italian dinner for some of my family this week...homemade spinach and ricotta ravioli, tomato sauce made with our homegrown tomatoes, and a tiramisu ice cream to finish off !!! Enjoy your day with Miss V, we will have our two precious ones after school each Wednesday starting next week! such fun....X
ReplyDeleteI hear it is very hot down under.....Geesh!
DeleteThey do grow fast....don't remember mine growing so fast!
You are a busy gal....I like that!
Sounds delicious....
Enjoy the kiddies...so glad you decided to start leaving comments!
What a lovely way to begin February. Alsolutely beautiful pictures. I think this is going to be a good month.
ReplyDeleteI was gone all weekend with a couple of my daughters....my dearest was happy to have me home....he was looking forward to dinner, so I made one of his favorites. Panko crusted tilapia, fresh green beans with saute onions and mushrooms and little red potatoes with butter and parsley. Real special...a glass of wine.
HI Wanda....glad you are back...
DeleteYour dearest missed you....and your delicious meals....MEN....strange creatures....
Enjoy your week....
I love your creativeness.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dixie!
DeleteOh, so envy you. Packing up to head south. No snow here either, but it's just so miserable with the wind and rain..
ReplyDeleteBeen really windy here too!! What's up with that???
DeleteBut...you have flowers in your garden♥️
Wow, what a difference a year makes! You are having an easy time of it this winter, that's for sure! Hardly winter at all. The begonia pictures are glorious - love them!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is! and I like it! hahaha!
DeleteI echo Devon's comment, "what a difference a year makes." Love the photo of the sun beaming into your kitchen, so cozy. Yes, Downton was quite a spectacle. It was fun reading comments on a Downton Abbey Facebook page. Everyone was very worried about Lord Grantham and nobody seems to like Lady Mary, too snobby. Have fun with Miss V. tomorrow...
ReplyDeleteI agree...too snobby!
DeleteHave some crafts planned for tomorrow!
Happy February, Linda! Isn't this weather unbelievable? It really doesn't feel like winter this year. I can just imagine how excited you are about your upcoming trip!
ReplyDeleteHappy February to you too Martha!
DeleteYes....getting nervous!
And which winter do you prefer? I think I'd like more snow, but maybe not those bone aching freezing temps of last winter! I hope you don't miss out on our Spring! I have the same grass as you around our pond, but the fronds all got blown away in the winds. Yours looks nice and fluffy :)
ReplyDeleteWendy
I would like more snow too....especially at Christmas....
DeleteNo fear....ill be back for that!
These grasses are right outside my kitchen....more sheltered from the winds...the ones at the cottage are raggedy!
I'm loving this weather, even with a big rain storm coming. Happy packing and repacking :)
ReplyDeleteHa! I will look at everything....again!
DeleteIt is one of the great things of blogging to be able to look back at what you were doing at different times and what the weather was. Amazing how different it has been from last year hey! xx
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Amy! Great way to keep a diary!
DeleteOf course....not too private! Hahaha!
Linda, I can't believe the difference in the weather there (and at the cottage) from last year this time. It's much the same here too I guess although it's snowing today and will change to rain this evening. Tomorrow may reach +12! Really strange. I am enjoying seeing your summer blooms. The colour is so beautiful with our boring landscape right now. Have a great day! Hugs.
