Last week we scooted out to the cottage for one night...
The weather was summer like!!!
Lots of raking done...and my gardens are starting to come alive!!
Back at home....the Spring rains came...
And our favorite house guest came for a sleepover!!!
We were so busy on Thursday...baking...planting seeds...filling the bird bath...
A great day and evening was had by all!!!
And the new hairdo is is cute as a button!!
My eldest daughter Lissa, had her birthday on Thursday...
She came to visit us on Friday...and got to spend some time with Miss V and her sister Erika, when she came to pick up Miss V...
I crocheted her this pot cover and bought her a jade Plant to go in it...
I just kinda made up the pattern...loosely based on a hat pattern!! hahaha!!
Also a couple of dishcloths...you can never have too many of those...
My son Ryan's birthday is today!!
Did not get to see him, but will see him next Sunday when his daughter Miss N has her Baptism... Thanks to all my IG buddies, for all their well wishes for my kids...♥️
Ryan and his Dad...
Lissa and I...
Hope you are all well...
Cooler temps yesterday and today...but we are in for a warm up again...
We are heading back down to the cottage on Monday morning...
Here at home, the last of the beautiful Easter Tulips are taking their final curtain call...
I finished the shawl for my daughter while in Florida...and as you can see...she can make anything look beautiful! ♥️
Got some baking done...delicious sour cream coffee cake sure hits the spot, with a steaming hot cup of tea...and a side order of greek yogurt and berries of the day!
Taco Tuesdays are becoming a regular around here...love these!! Quick and soooo good!!
The Birds have returned to my garden...and I couldn't be happier!
My front planter is still doing great...I plant the potted bulbs right in their pots!!! That way, I can just remove them...let them dry out...and transfer right into my garden! I cut the Pussy Willows off our huge tree at the side of our house. I need a ladder to get the few branches that are low enough. Sometimes they root in the soil...but I have never been successful when I transplant them...
This book was a Christmas present from my daughter Lissa.She knows that I LOVE Jann Arden, and follow her on IG...she has a very good sense of humour...and of course, and excellent singer! One of Canada's finest! The book deals with her aging parents...very sad, and yet very funny too. If that makes any sense....I read it in Florida...I must say, I did shed a few tears... Her Father passed away...and her Mom is now in a nursing home out West...she shares photos and visits with her Mom on IG...truly a remarkable life she has.
Ok......are you ready for the UGLY?????
Just look at the state of our beach at the cottage...after that huge wind storm about a week ago...have you ever seen such a big mess???????????? I guess everyones broken bits and bobs are now on our beach... Difficult to clean up, as the stones are all wedged in between.... UGH!!! This will take us many weekends to clean up...and hopefully burn!! 2 new big logs....very heavy...oh boy... And...those dark ominous clouds followed us all the way home!!!
We also had SNOW last week...
GEESH....
Come on Mother Naaature...
Make up your mind!!!
It is raining...dark...damp...cold today...
Flashback to a rainy day in my garden last year...
Beautiful Daffodils outside my window...covered in rain drops...
I WISH IT WAS WARMER AND SUNNIER!!!!!!!
Hope you are all well...and keeping yourselves busy!!
We will be driving to the cottage on Friday...hoping that some of that junk is gone from the beach... I am going to be optimistic... Put the fresh sheets and electric blanket on our bed... Call the Appliance guy and set up delivery on new fridge and stove for the following Friday... Plan a sleepover for that night...make chili! hahaha!
