Bits & Bobs From The Past Few Weeks.....



Our drives to the cottage have been especially beautiful lately...

Nothing like a few Barns and Horses to create something memorable...

And don't get me started on the clouds!!!

Absolutely glorious!!
 


the Perennial Bamboo in my back yard here at home, put on a magnificent display last week....just before we had the wee bit of white stuff one night!
It was gone the next day...but we did have quite a few really cold days there...
We were at the cottage last Friday...a very nipply -4c...with a very significant windchill I must say!!!
No sleepovers for a few weeks...looks like it may be time to shut the water off...and let the old girl begin her Winter nap...:o(
 

This incredible white wicker chair was a curbside find last week here at home!!!

That makes 2 in the last 2 years...I found a green skirted one previously...

LOVE IT!!
 


A few pieces of beach glass last week...added to my HUGE collection!
 

Took these few last Friday...as I froze my A** off!!

Still leaves on the trees...and a gorgeous shoreline...

The Milkweed is doing it's thing quite nicely too...
 




We had a beautiful time a few weeks ago...warm temps...deck lounging...and I guess our last sleepover for 2017...

I consoled myself with a moist delicious Apple Pie Loaf...

                                       YUMMY!!!! 
 

Hope you are all well....

         See you all soon....

                  Cheers!    :o)

    Hi Linda ~ Sorry I've been gone from you blog for a while. We were on a trip and I haven't been on the computer until today. I love your pictures, and wondered if you painted the wicker chair, or was it that clean?? What a find.

    Your dessert looks so good. I collected some new recipes on my trip and did a few in my cooking class and will share them soon.

    Hugs!!

    Still beautiful! Love the sea glass. And the wicker is a wonderful find. You had a nice long run at the cottage it seems. Happy days!

    How quickly the year flies by, and your cottage is about to have its Winter nap once again. Fantastic find of that chair..I'd have grabbed it quick smart too! The countryside looks gorgeous, can't wait to see it again.

    Great wicker chair. Brings back memories when I was a boy, as I remember Mum and Dad had a light green one. Love the horse shots.

    Wonder, how far the cottage is roughly from your home. Sounds quite a drive . . . :)

      Hi Eddie....
      It is only about 75 minutes to the cottage...pretty close! Some people who have cottages up North, drive for 3 hours!!!!!
      We are also lucky to not have to travel at peak traffic times...☺️

    Wonderful bits and bobs, Linda. I love the beach glass and all your photos. Oh- to have a few more days here to enjoy warm weather sitting outside in a chair. It's not going to happen anymore this year!!
    Have a wonderful day- xo Diana

    Such a beautiful drive, Linda - love the horses and lovely barns. It's always with a sigh of resignation that we accept that winter is coming, isn't it? Love your wicker chairs and now you can dream of those warm summer days sitting in them and enjoying the fabulous sunsets - something to look forward to when that cold wind knocks you off your butt! xx Karen

    Lucky you with the chair. Fun find!
    Love those first few rural landscapes. So pastoral. They resemble paintings.
    And the shot of that feathery milkweed is beautiful.
