A Few Good Things That Happened In May....💙

Hello everyone...

Another month has come and gone...
At least this one had some lovely moments for us...
My Grandson was 1 year old...🎉🎈🎉
Boyfriend and I visited ...socially distancing in their back yard...
he looked as cute as a button...💙...that hat!!! A real Peaky Blinders!!!

His Mom got him a "cupcake" cake...it was delish!!
I took Miss V some sidewalk chalk, and she got busy right away...

I had brought some beach glass from the cottage awhile ago, as I wanted to try my hand at making cards...
I have made 5 so far...and I am quite thrilled...they need a shadow box frame for display...perhaps in the near future, I can get some...
I also got 2 birds crocheted...
The Blue one for Miss V...and the yellow one for Miss N ...fiddly, but worth the work...
I made my grandson a blanket {what else is new} for his birthday...
And a cute card...
The crocheted dishcloths were for my daughter for Mothers Day...
I am nearly finished another blanket...which I will show you soon... 

I put out some oranges here at home...first time...as I was missing the Orioles down at the cottage... I was so happy when a few arrived!!!
Only for 3-4 days...but a welcome distraction...🍊

The cottage is coming along slowly...
Last Saturday...my son...SIL and one of my daughters came out... 
it was a miracle!!! they got everything done...👏💪🙏

I have pictures to share...but it will have to wait for another post... 

I still won't be staying over, as I am more comfy here at home...for the time being...

This world is certainly in bad shape these past few months...
And now the riots and looting in the US... 
I understand and sympathize...but this is too much...
I just wish they would go home...I am scared of another wave of COvid 19 for their country....😢

I hope all of my readers are well...safe...and at home for the most part...
We...here in Ontario Canada...must wait til the end of June, to see if we are able to meet in groups of more than 5...Its gonna be a long wait...
Hopefully for Canada Day...my family can come to the cottage for the day...
Social Distance...but get to have a few laughs...and make memories... 

           Because we can sure use some good memories of 2020....



          Take care...

               see you soon...

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)

Cottage Sleepover.....

It was a great visit...

After my usual beach visit, to look for goodies, I went in and got busy.

I vacuumed the whole cottage, and put fresh linens and the electric blanket on our bed... 

Polished all the glass upstairs...mirrors and windows...dusted all the surfaces...

All while my boyfriend got the water on lickety-split!

He started raking, as I was taking longer at my chores!   {Wonder why}

I changed my clothes...got my rubber boots on... grabbed my gloves and rake.


Found some beach glass...wore my new TOM'S, a bday gift from one of my daughters...While we ate dinner...we watched as the clouds rolled in...morning was very cloudy and much cooler...we left for home after a nice breakfast, and a quick cleanup.

As we headed down the Niagara Escarpment, into Grimsby,I captured this pic

of the Toronto Skyline...see the CN Tower? Unfortunately the power lines 

could not be edited out!

Hope you are all well...

Todays weather is back to the grey dampness...Sunday was glorious, and we got the back yard here at home cleaned up...The birds were crazy too...I got a lot of great pics, that I will share soon.

The crochet is going strong...lots to show...soon! hahaha!!

At least I got this one done today!! I also did some groceries...cleaned the insides of most of the windows...watered my houseplants and made a delish dinner of Baked Ham...Scalloped Potatoes...Bok Choy and Brussels....gabbed on the phone for a while...


Oh...and I sorted thru all of my yarn scraps again...I have used up quite a bit, and thinking of a few small projects to use up some more bits and pieces.

boyfriend had bok choy...I had my Brussels!! 💚

That's it for now...

Looks like a lot of rain coming our way this week...

    Stay warm!!

       Cheers!  :o)
