Our drives to and from the cottage, have some magnificent landscapes...
Especially when it is sunny...everything is still so green...
Most trips...as we are getting closer to home...
The sunsets are fabulous...
The colour just blows me away sometimes...
Even the Starlings are still here!!!
They are congregating in large numbers...
Nearly home...
Just as the sun is setting...
We still have a lot of rural property just to the West of us...
We enjoy this drive in from the highway...
Beautiful!!
Last week at the park with Miss V...
Still so green here as well...
She even found her favorites!!
Dandelions still blooming!!
And..
Of course...
The obligatory seed blow♥️
Hot afternoon cups of Tea are a must in the Winter...
With...
Of course...
Some banana loaf...fresh berries and yogurt!!
Even my sweet houseplants are loving this mild December so far...
Blooming their pretty little heads off!!
And the Hens & Chicks...
Well...lets just say...
I see lots of babies!!
Mr Toad is feeling downright giddy in his brand new Christmas hat!!
Doesn't he look dapper!!
And even Mr Robin...
If he is going to spend the winter here...he figured why not jump on the band wagon with a hat as well!!
Mr Cardinal needs nothing else to make him spectacular!
Yes RED..I see you there on the fence...what have you done with your hair??
You look a bit frazzled...wondering when the Pumpkins will turn to mush, so you can stick your face in there and gobble up all those seeds??
Cottage critters are busy too...
Chick-a-dee-dee-dees are always busy at the feeders...
And...
I spy a Squirrels tail down on the beach deck!!
These are a lot of my pics from December...
Unseasonably mild...perhaps record breaking...
The water is still on at the cottage...so we are happy campers!!
Cold coming this weekend...but then back up next week...
I can feel a couple of sleepovers coming up!!
Now that my entertaining is over...well...until Christmas Day...
I can concentrate on some baking...oh...other than the cookies that Miss V and I made today before lunch...which was very successful this time!!
She is still napping...we may do some pinecone crafts hen she wakes up...if time permits!!
**************
Have some spaghetti sauce bubbling away on the stove...
Will whip up a Ceasar Salad...and I picked up a small crusty loaf of bread...
It is another dark gloomy day here...but still warm...
Thank goodness for that sunny day last Friday...I can still feel the warmth♥️
Think I'll go get my fresh berries washed and ready to have some spiced banana loaf with Miss V when she wakes up...
Sound good???
Hope you are all well...having fun preparing for the big day..
All ready????
Enjoy your evening...
Cheers! :o)
