Last Day Of Summer...First Day Of Fall At The Cottage....Part 2......

Continuing along, from where I left off...

Remind me to do one post at a time, and be done with it!! 

Geesh...why do I get my self into these things!!

Hard enough to remember what I had for breakfast...let alone a week ago!

Hahaha!! 

Here we go...lets do this!!

So...this is Thursday...the first day of Fall...the sun greeted us with her smiling face, so we decided it was time to put a fresh coat of stain on the upper railing, above the sunporch...this is our guest room, and actually has a glass door out to the wee balcony...not my favorite spot...the railing {which we had replaced a few years ago}...is very short...so you feel kinda like a giant looking down...not a fan of heights...but...the job needed to be done...and...after all....we are a team...right?

You can see what a big difference it made...especially on the top rail...didn't take us long to apply 2 coats...and admire our handywork!!

After lunch, I made a couple of floral arrangements...

Imagine using Ferns on the First Day of Fall...

Also added a few pieces of Oat Grass, love the texture it creates... 

Hydrangeas still beautiful, and a few Sedum stems...

Same idea for the Sunporch...

Just makes things nicer, eh??

Friday was the dull day...we took off for town...did some thrifty shopping...Of course I got a few things!!

We went for a walk in the afternoon...the seagulls and cormorants were going crazy!!!! Not sure if there was a school of fish or what...but...I captured them along the beach from us...making quit a racket!!

I went down onto the beach, to get the photos...boyfriend stayed up on the road...waiting patiently for me, while I looked for beach glass too!!


See him there???

Don't you just love the "body language"...come on...hurry up....what are you looking for down there??? You are not supposed to be down there....it says "Private "Property"....

Such a worry wart...

hahahaha!!  

This is how Friday ended...gloomy all day...at least we ate on the sunporch, as it wasn't that cold...




Now....

Saturday was another story....

Glorious Sunshine all day...

I got a big garden cleaned out...

Boyfriend got the loungers painted with rust paint...they looked fabulous!!

After dinner...we enjoyed a firepit on the beach deck...first of the Season...hopefully many more to come!!

Sunday was more of the same...

We left in the afternoon, as we were supposed to take Erika and Miss V out for dinner, for Erika's bday...didn't happen...but they did come for a visit...

 















 Shot of the driveway, as I locked the gate...

Lovely and green,eh? ♥️ 









 I also saw my favorite polka dot horse on the way home...

A few of you had thought she might be pregnant last time I showed her...
how long do horses carry? I admit, I know nothing about this...she still looks the same to me...and I think it was June that I posted her first picture...hmmmm?

 Hope that you are all well...so glad it stopped raining here...
Not as much rain at the cottage...but kinda dreary and cool this past weekend.. 
Good for the trees and shrubs going into the cooler months...

Tonight will be a Ham and Scalloped potatoes...and fresh Yellow beans...
Lovely comforting meal...

Very busy with my crochet...already ripped the sweater out once!! Geesh... 

Can hardly believe that this weekend is our Thanksgiving already...

Not ready for this yet!!

Guess I will be hosting...even if only a few of us will actually be eating Turkey!

Hope you have a great day...

        I will be back sooner than later....

                           Cheers!  :o)
