Hello Everyone...
Mid August already...but I'm back!!!
It has been another stinkin' hot month here in Ontario...
Seems that this will be the way it is for a few years...
Grin and bear it, I say...but it has not been the best gardening Summer, for sure!!!
On another note...my trusty Canon camera, has seen better days...:o(
The last few weeks, the pictures have been out of focus, and very dark...
I took to using my older camera...the one Miss V uses when she chooses!
I was not very happy with the last few photos, especially when both my granddaughters were visiting at the cottage...
My son tried to change a few settings...but I think the old girl just had enough...
So I got myself a new camera!!!!!!!!
yes indeedy!!! Canon Powershot SX420SI....almost the same as my old one...with a few less bells and whistles...but my trusty auto-zoom is included!!!
So.....hopefully my next post will have clearer crisper brighter photos...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hope you are all well...
Enjoying the heat????
We are off to the cottage Friday am...raining here today and down there...and i think rain tomorrow too....
My sweet friend Devon...who moved to BC a few years ago, is in town for a wedding, and her and her lovely hubby are coming to the cottage on Saturday for a sleepover!!!! So excited to see her....I have missed her dearly...
I got a cat mat made for her cats...and 2 of my dishcloths ready for her...
Have a great weekend my friends...
See you soon...
Cheers! :o)

Norah’s fuzzy head is adorable. And how can it be that Viviam’s feet are almost as big as yours?
ReplyDeleteIsn’t she a doll?💓hahaha! I’ll tell Miss V you said that!😂
Deletewell I don't know if these pictures are from the old or new camera but they're all just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteespecially love the two little cousins together. and the one of Ryan with their sweet baby girl is perfect.
so glad you and Devon can have time together this visit! sounds like everything is in order.
even the sky with the gorgeous clouds. smiling a happy thanks from an old sky watcher here! xo
Old camera...they were very dark and fuzzy....I worked some magic in the editing room!
DeleteAren’t thos cousins the cutest? Miss V had her giggling playing peek a boo💕
Can’t wait to hug Devon!
This has been the summer of clouds...gonna do a post on it!
Hugs to you!
A new camera - that's exciting! I'm just a "take it with my phone" kind of gal (probably shows!) It must be great to be at the lake during these hot days. Love the cousins pictures! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteIt is Jenn! Looking forward to using it at the lake....
DeleteIt is good for about 4 days, then the dampness gets into your bones! Back to the a/c!

We haven't had much rain here at all this end of lake Erie its been gong around us more than ever and things are looking a bit sorry for them selves even though I water them but natures water from the sky has always been better . Oh I bet you and your friends are going to have a wonderful visit at that lovely little cottage . Thanks for sharing , have a great weekend !

Oh I hope the cottage got rain....fingers crossed! Hate when everything dries up!

You are too funny bj! I already got the hearing aids!😂😂😂
DeleteThis is our cottage on Lake Erie...but you knew that right?
Have a great weekend!

We don’t even cool down at night! Hot and sweaty at the cottage...we’ll head down tomorrow...
Enjoy your weekend dear!
Well the photos seemed lovely . . .
ReplyDeleteLove seeing “cousins” together . . .
YES . . . hot seems to be “the way of the world.”
Here, not only HOT, dreadfully humid.
Plantings have not been happy . . .
Enjoy your friend Devon . . .
I wish I was enjoying a Bloody Mary with you!
Enjoy these final August days . . .
Humidity has been hideous! Don’t think we’re getting a break any time soon...
DeleteWe call them “Caesar’s” in Canada...and I would love to chat over one with you 💕
Those are wonderful pictures, Linda. I really need a camera, too. I am reduced to using my iPhone which is good but I would really like a nice camera one of these days.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you are having a great, althoughbeit hot, summer. Same here. The humidity is horrible!!!! Hope you have a good upcoming weekend. xo Diana
Hope you are starting to take it easy! You’ve been working hard all Summer!
DeletePhotography really is challenging! Your colors are very beautiful. I always seem to hold the camera a little tilted -- as you did in some of your shots of the lake with the horizon showing. I'm always straightening things out in post-processing.
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Thanks for visiting...
DeleteEnjoy that new camera, the Misses V and N deserve nothing but the best.
ReplyDeleteRainy here today but still hot, hot, hot.

ReplyDeleteHahaha! My glorious life!!!!! Too funny!
DeleteHad a wonderful time with our dear friends💙Gonna miss them all over again....
All is beautiful at the lake - the rainbow, the pink clouds, the swans - and those two gorgeous little girls. What happiness they bring! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThey sure do Patricia...love them to pieces!💕
DeleteOmg, the cat mat is fabulous,so much so that I don't want the cats to use it. It looks too wonderful! Not using those wash cloths either.
ReplyDeleteAwwwww....it’s for the cats! And those are for the dishes! Come on.....you can do it!
DeleteLoved having you at the cottage...best guests ever....enjoy the rest of your trip!💓
I'm so glad to have caught up with you, my friend I love the darling pictures of Vivian and Nora...they look so lovingly at each other. Nice pic of your son and Nora, too. He looks so much like your husband.
ReplyDeleteYour cottage pictures are beautiful...the clouds and rainbows and views of that huge lake! I think you and I are much more aware of the weather and seasons as it plays a huge role in where we are...and what we are doing.
I'm home in the city for a while, we are having outdoor work done at the lake, and then some changes to the front porch and balcony. I need to sit on my behind down and write a post! So sorry for my absence. You know i love ya and I don't miss IG posts...so convenient while lying in bed with insomnia!!! ;-D

Hi Jane....oh your lake house will be even more beautiful! Can’t wait to see the finished product!
DeleteYou have insomnia?😳
I SOOOO LOVE YOUR BLOG! Beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteWell...thanks so much!!
DeleteI see we share some of the same passions, like growing flowers and veg and having a relaxing patio area. Your grandkids are darling.
ReplyDeleteThanks Terra!
DeleteYour photos look fine to me, capturing your lovely family, food and flowers! My camera was stolen in July (Friday 13th - not a good date!) but has now been recovered and collected from the police station. Long story.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting...sorry about your camera...but glad you got it back....
