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)

A Short Catch-Up......






The 2 days leading up to the long weekend were picture perfect...

Unfortunately... On the Saturday...when the kids arrived...the winds picked up, and the rain started...we headed inside....and even enjoyed a small fire inside...
 

This Tuesday and Wednesday...Miss V spent the days with us...she swam and did a few crafts...she started SK this morning...we will miss our days with her...
Of course...there will be PD days to enjoy with her ♥️
 

We are all packed, and heading to the cottage...

Weather looks iffy...but I sure can't complain...

Good wishes to everyone in the path of IRMA...geesh...what a time the United States has had with their weather the last few weeks...

Devastation in the Caribbean....horrible...:o( 

Saturday marks the 45th wedding anniversary for the boyfriend and I...

Where did all those years go??? 

We are so lucky to have 3 beautiful kids...a wonderful SIL and DIL...

Of course Miss V...and our next Granddaughter due in December ♥️


        Hope you are all well...

                 Cheers!  :o)

Bits & Bobs of Here & There.......

















 Hope you are all well...

Looks like Summer has arrived for sure!

Heading back to the cottage in the morning...spent 2 days there earlier in the week...gorgeous weather!!

Will be back on Sunday, as our sweet Miss V will be hanging around with us for a  few days...before she heads off to FLORIDA with her Mommy...to celebrate her 5th birthday at Disney!!!!!

I must say...I am already starting to worry...2 gals off on their own...in another country...but...that is just me...a worrier thru and thru...♥️

       Have a wonderful weekend...

                See you all soon.....


                              Cheers!  :o)
