what could possibly be better???

My son painted us a brand new sign for the cottage...
I LOVE IT!!!!
We ahd been using the original owners sign for 20 years...with our name painted over it of course! hahaha!
But...it finally rotted thru...and fell off a few weeks ago!!
This is so fresh and "beautiful"...
The name we chose, 20 years ago...
Boy.....did we ever get the right!!
Hope you all are well...
I had a cold, but I am much improved...
Today was our last regular Wednesday with Miss V...
She starts JK tomorrow...she is very excited...she met her teachers the other day...hugs all around!!
When I picked her up at daycare today...I took one of the Pecan,Banana Raspberry loaves that Miss V made last week...{ it had been frozen}...for the staff...really nice people...always kind and polite to me...Miss V will surely miss them all...as I am sure they will miss her♥️
The weather is unbelievable here in Southern Ontario...42c...over 100f!!!!
We are getting a bit of welcome rain right now...thank goodness!!
The pool was lovely today...we had a great day...and Miss V and her Mommy stayed for Summer Pasta for dinner...delish as always...
Not sure when we are going to the cottage...supposed to rain tomorrow...and it is very humid down there!!! Much happier here in the a/c!!!
Have a great evening everyone...
And as always...thanks for your lovely comments...much appreciated...
Cheers! :o)

It was a gorgeous weekend, wasn't it? What kind of caterpillar is that?!?! Your bee picture made me smile because I had "obedient plant" too. I'm sure Miss V is going to love going to school! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteSome kind of Moth caterpillar I think...he got very agitated when I went in for his closeup!
DeleteHummer S love the obedient plants too Jenn...
I have spoken with her...she had a GREAT day♥️
Please send some rain across the lake to your sweltering comrades.

OK...and then you send it along to the cottage!
DeleteYour lake pics are so fun, Linda, as usual! I would never want to leave.
ReplyDeleteIt's very touching and a huge change with your little spitfire to be moving on! Be proud. You and your family have shaped her and let her free sprit shine. Many, many more precious memories ahead.
Thanks for your kind words on IG. More work ahead on our place but I hope you will enjoy your time at my blog as I have at yours!!!

Love your new sign, very meticulously done! Love your nature photos but also your family ones, of course. Yes, the weather is over the top humid, isn't it? We're driving into Montreal for a family visit on the weekend, hope it doesn't rain. Have a lovely weekend at the cottage whenever you get there. And no rush, ha, ha, but you might want to check out my grand d's new backpack on FB. Take care...

ReplyDeleteWe did Wanda!
DeleteThis weekend not as nice! Hot hot hot ....and rainy!
Hi Linda, gorgeous photos!! In answer to your comment on my blog about the conkers for spider prevention (sorry, you came up as a no reply blogger), you use the nut. I put about three in each corner of my window sills and also by the side of any doors leading to the outside. Apparently they give off a gas that spiders don't seem to like. Have a lovely week xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit and the info Chel!!
DeleteYou had a spectacular weekend at the cottage! What great photos to look back on through the winter. It is nice when the whole family gathers together, but at the cottage makes it even more special!
ReplyDeleteWendy
it sure does Wendy!
DeleteLove to see your fresh, vibrant pics.
ReplyDeleteA new sign - it looks wonderful!
I'm so glad the weather is a bit cooler... helps me cope a little better.
Miss V off to a new chapter - how exciting!
Love the new sign!!
