It was a sunny day...but with a wee bit of a nippy wind...
Nonetheless...a good time was had by all...
After the park...it was time for a bit of painting...
Her concentration was unbelievable...
She enjoyed doing this so much...
One for her Mama and one for Papa...♥️
We also made a trip to Walmart, to purchase a booster car seat...
She has reached the weight requirement for one of these...
So much easier than the much larger one we had...
Now...we can take her in either vehicle...not just the 4x4...
She was enthralled with it!!
We used it on Friday...to pick her up after our drive to the cottage...
We had a Friday night sleepover with her, here at home...!!!
And...it was fun!!
I have a few pics to share with you all later...
The picture of RED was taken on Sunday afternoon...
We have had a bit of unwelcome snow here lately!!
The bird feeder shot was taken this morning!!!!!
And...it is not gonna melt!!!! Supposed to be very cold all week...
And...into the weekend!!!!
There goes any cottage sleepovers for a while...:o(
Did you get any snow??? High winds??? Geesh!!!
Didn't do much today...a bit of laundry...rearranged a few kitchen cupboards...
Oh yes...I baked something quite delicious indeed!!!
It involved yogurt....blueberries...lemon juice and zest...
Yummy!!
Enjoy your evening...
Cheers! :o)

Making up lost time with Miss V.....and she is a very good painter, I see. No snow here, of course. But we have had some windy days and we're expecting a few days of cooler weather. This weekend was beautiful at the lake. Going to the beach tomorrow for the rest of the week. Hopefully the sunshine will follow.
ReplyDeleteYes...she is!
DeleteOf course no snow for you Laurie...you live in the glorious South!!
Oh my...enjoy the beach! Pictures???
Little Miss V looks delightful company and her drawings and colouring in are so accurate. A big well done from Peter and his "Gampa". Red looks as mischievous as ever . . . :)
ReplyDeleteRaining hard here this afternoon but it was trying very hard to be sunny earlier when I was driving the bus . . . :)
HI Eddie...
DeleteHi to Peter from us!
Hope you dry out soon!!
Fortunately I did not get too wet . . . got home after bus driving before it really started raining hard. Fingers crossed for tomottow because I would like to get into the garden.
DeletePeter's Mum is on holiday for 2 weeks so I shall not be having Peter ~ but will see him sometimes. It will feel strange without him . . :)
Good! Nice that you are back driving again...making the folks laugh!
DeleteOh gee...I would like to get into the garden too...but I need a snow shovel!
It will be a nice break for both of you...he will be a different guy when you do see him!
They change overnight it seems...
My boys had those pads w/ the paint already in the squares:)
ReplyDeleteHer hair has grown already!Such a cutie..so into it:)♥
No snow here just cold..so my emerging chives and garlic ..shivering to say the very least~
I got that at Michaels! What a great idea they are! No mess at all!
DeleteNo snow for you? lucky...I did not see my garlic last weekend...I have my doubts about them coming up at all!!
Stay warm!
Hope never dies in the heart of a gardener:)
DeleteLovely words Monique...
DeleteMy chives are growing! Will check the garlic.....
She is always adorable all the time :) :)
ReplyDeleteHugs !!
Hi Gloria...
DeleteShe is...isn't she??
Hugs back to you...:o)
So cute! Such a good time for both of you :)
ReplyDeleteIt was Martha...she is so fun to be with!
DeleteHave a great week...
Miss V is a good little painter and she concentrates so hard!
ReplyDeleteRight on Deb!!
DeleteLovely photos looks like you and Miss V had fun at the park and at home after . What the heck is this snow and cold think it is doing in our spring I mean REALLY ?! YUMMY yogurt and blueberries I am game . Thanks for sharing , have a good day !
ReplyDeleteTell me about it Elaine!!! We have the water on at the cottage...YIKES!! Hopefully with the furnace on at 50 degrees, there should be no problems...
DeleteShe's getting so big!! I love the small booster seats too ... and yours has cup holders! Miss V does look like she's concentrating on the paintings very well. She did a great job on them. Such a change from last week to this! A lot of our snow melted today with that bright sunshine later on. I actually got wind burn on my face this morning :[
ReplyDeleteI hope you share your recipe cuz the ingredients sound yummy!
Wendy
So much easier with the smaller seat! Love it!!
DeleteI will definitely share the recipe...
Our snow didn't stick but it's cold, damp and windy....freezes you to the bone!
ReplyDeleteLove the little paint papers Miss V has....she's loving that!
Your lemony blueberry creation looked amazing. Have you shared that recipe?
I think you have...does it start with a cake mix?
Yes...they are great for wee ones...picked that up at Michaels...what a place!!
DeleteNope...have never shared this recipe...first time making it!!
Will share...for sure!!
miss Vee is an artist in the making! Sleep overs are such a great time,, I think your desert sounds very interesting indeed!
ReplyDeleteYes they are! She was as good as gold!
DeleteI could eat that little sweetie up, Linda. She grows like a weed before our eyes. She's quite the artist. :-D. I can't say enough how I admire all the ways your keep Miss V active and engaged and happy. I don't really know if I'll have that with our little one. Nothing has changed and she is over a year old now. She doesn't know who we are...she cries. Very sad. I'll live vicariously through you!
ReplyDeleteCrazy weather here; cold, warm, snow, rain...very terrible winds. The latter scares me so, we have huge old trees within 6 feet of our home.
We've learned the lakehouse may be done by July 1. We will have so much to do then, unpacking and sorting 25 years of 'everything' and we are going to replace some beds and the living room and loft furniture. Busy days ahead. Thank goodness for my kayak! :)
Jane
So sorry about your grandaughter...I am sure she loves you both...perhaps she needs a wee bit more time...
DeleteGreat news about the lake house....you will be a busy bee for sure!
Ah Miss V....such a doll! Love the photos! Looks chilly!!
ReplyDeletexo Kris
With the snow.....yes...chilly! Hahaha!
DeleteWow, what a basket of snow you have there Linda. Hi to Red, the cute little guy. I thought Spring was about to burst, but there you are, freezing again. Miss V is getting so tall - look at her long legs. She must be great fun to have around. PS we are so proud, the Canadian government has granted our girl a fancy scholarship to complete her Masters Degree in Ottawa :)
ReplyDeleteSpring WAS bursting! Until Mr Winter decided he wasn't quite done yet!
DeleteCongrats to your girl....daughter?
Oops yes, our daughter, mother of the two little boys.
DeleteThat is a "big deal"!
ReplyDeleteOld enough for the car booster seat . . . YAY!
Yes . . . we have had snow, cold, wind . . .
Sixteen degrees here this morning, (not sure how that translates to your temp scale.)
Other than to say . . . COLD!
But the sun is shining brightly so HOPE is returning . . .
Happy Day . . .
That translates as cold! Same here...although today was sunny...but still chilly...and it ain't over yet!
DeleteI remember those painting things! I loved them! Such fun and so simple! Miss V is a budding little artist like her Nana, eh?
ReplyDeleteSnow! Horrors! Hopefully it doesn't stick around too long!
Tomorrow we are planting some seeds indoors!
DeleteSnow is still here...:o(
Miss V is really growing! She is such a sweetie and very good with colors, too!
ReplyDeleteWe have had some up and down days, as far as adjusting the thermometer on the furnace. It is chilly this morning after a nice day yesterday. The winds over the weekend were horrible. We, too, have some old trees that are close to the house and they worry me.
Have a nice day!
Hi Cheryl!
DeleteYes...hideous weather....hopefully next week we will be closer to normal temps...
Enjoy your week....
Miss V is so cute as she concentrates on her painting. It is so cold here this week! Unbelievable! -7 this afternoon but the sun is gorgeous....and deceiving. I want to go outside and do yard work but there is no way I'll do it in that awful cold wind. Hope you are having a good week none the less. Hubs is gone to Winnipeg again and maybe again next week too. ;( Take care Linda and have a cozy day.
ReplyDeleteSame here Pam....quite unsettling to my daffodils! They were laying face down in the snow!
DeleteHe seems to be travelling a lot more.....you like?
her little round pink cheeks and such serious concentration. i love that!
ReplyDeleteand she did a wonderful job!
and
that picture of red... holding the the apple and with snow on his tiny head. omg. LOVE IT!
have fun with your cherub. she's just growing up too fast!!! XO♥
She really takes her time....such a good girl♥️
DeleteYes....Red is a cutie....even though he eats all my birdseed!
Enjoy your week Tammy!
I love water coloring, and blue boots look cool!
ReplyDeleteWe love our blue boots!
DeleteWhat a wonderful time you had! Hope that you get some springy weather soon! xx
ReplyDeleteOh gosh.....me too Amy!
DeleteI love all the bright colours in your Miss V pictures. We also have snow here. You gotta love April. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet girl. She does look intent indeed. I used to love watercolours when I was a wee lass.
ReplyDeleteI may be in the minority... but I love the snow! We had none this winter so I am glad we get a final flurry or two. Spring will be here soon enough.
