Unicorns...Butterflies...Bees & Flowers...Oh My!!!

 Continuing along with our cottage stay last weekend...

Friday was very blustery and very high waves...

But...as always...we manage to find a sheltered spot to relax, and enjoy the day.

I even got a cotton dishcloth made, while soaking up some late Fall sunshine and warmth.

 We had stopped on the way to the cottage, to drop off some donations to one of our favorite thrift shops...I was fortunate enough, to grab this Milk Glass tray for the crazy price of $1!!!! I think it looks perfect with a few pieces of my other Milk Glass resting on it!!!  Thanksgiving Roses are still hanging in there!!!

Now...just for you...

Enjoy a few blooms still going strong...

The Bees 🐝 and the Monarchs and Orange Sulphur Butterlies 😊 are very happy indeed!!!


Can you see the Bee inside this Geranium???

The Native Milkweed is starting to do it's "thing"....

Spreading it's beautiful fluffy seeds for next years crop...

I love the Milkweed...

Food for so many sweet things... 

Monarchs...

Hummingbirds...

Fantastic!!

Again my Blue Morning Glories made me smile...

So sad they only bloom for me in the late Fall...

It has been considerably colder this week, so I don't think any beautiful Blue faces will greet me on Friday...:o(


You can see the Bees loved them too...and...of course...a few Ants! 

And just look at those Monarchs!!

One of the tiny Oak tress that the squirrels planted for us, is turning a gorgeous Red!!

As you can see...everything else is still green! 

except for Mr Blue Jay!

Saturday turned into a gorgeous day...

My son and SIL helped my boyfriend put up the winter shutters on the sunporch...

And...as I said before...me and my daughters sat around looking glamorous! 

Once Miss V arrived...things got into high gear!!

She ran right to her old Nana to give me a big hug and a kiss...♥️


She also wanted to hug her Uncle Ryan...

And of course Papa...Uncle Jeff and Auntie Lissa 💕

Mother-to-be Auntie Anna stayed home this day...

Only 2 months 'til we meet our newest Granddaughter !

Oh yes...

And now for the Unicorn part...

No Unicorn emoji on my big computer...:o(


Check out these Unicorn Vans...

Her Mommy spoils her!!

And her Unicorn sweatshirt!

Guess what she is going to be for Halloween???

3 guesses...

Hahaha!!

 

She brought me tons of small shells and some beach glass that she found...

We put it all into a cute little jar...to keep...forever ♥️

                                          ************

Hope you are all well...looks like rain moving in for Saturday...so perhaps just one night at the cottage...we will get some more work done, to prepare the cottage for the Winter....never a happy time for me...but it must be done.

So that's me up to the minute...

thanks for all your lovely comments...

See you soon...

                        Cheers!  :o)

Just Me...My Camera...And A Beautiful Drive At The Cottage....

We arrived at the cottage early Thursday afternoon...

After a bowl of my chicken soup...I decided to run into town...and pick up a few things I had forgotten.

Boyfriend was going to cut the grass...so off I went!! 

It was glorious warm sunny weather...such an incredible Fall we are having!!

Because I was driving...

I could stop...A N Y T I M E  I wanted to take pictures.... 

It was fantastic!!! 

After getting the green barn with the corn so high...it just got better!!

First pit stop...

The Shetland Ponies that we see every week...

They were right up against the fence near the road...and I couldn't have been happier!!

Aren't they just so beautiful!!!

The one came right up to the fence to say hello to me...

What a gorgeous face....

On my way back from town...

I went down this laneway, that we had used before.

Lucky I had the 4x4...kinda lumpy!!!

But beautiful views...and a fantastic old barn...can't get enough of these barns!!

 

Hope you are all well, and enjoying the weather...wherever you are!!

The Winter shutters are up at the cottage, as much cooler temps are here as of right now!! Raining right now...not such a nice week ahead...

The kids were all out to the cottage...the guys to help with the shutters...and us gals to just sit around and look beautiful...hahaha! 

Got some sweet pics of Miss V...and the bees and Monarch Butterflies enjoying my Fall Mums...will do another post shortly...

         Enjoy your week my friends...

                 Cheers!  :o)

A few chilly days in between, but now we are in for a good stretch of above average temps....and plenty of sunshine!!

The gardens are still producing lots of blooms...very happy about that...

How are your gardens looking????

Hopefully off to the cottage Thursday morning...soak up all this great weather...

See you soon...
