Hydrangea...Phlox & Tiny Bird Houses.....

 The Hydrangea in my back yard at home, is a Limelight...

 Starts out small and lime green...

Gradually gets larger and turns a lovely soft green...

 The Hydrangea at the cottage...

 Is a standard pee gee white...

 Starts out pale green...and gradually turns white...

see the daddy-long-legs!

I have a nice clump of white Phlox...

Gets bigger every year...

 Best photographed late in the afternoon...

And after a rain! 

Check out these sweet tiny birdhouses my daughter Lissa painted for me♥️

Have to find the perfect spot...

I almost want to keep them for inside the cottage!! 






Hope you all had a great day...

Another kinda muggy one here...very breezy...can feel the cold front moving in now...

Temps high tomorrow , only 19*c....way below seasonal...

Supposed to warm up on the weekend...


                 Enjoy your evening...

                    Got my hair cut this morning...always too short...but...it will grow!

                       What kind of mischief did you get into today??

It's Shutter Time!!!

 When we arrived at the cottage...

On Saturday...

Around 12:30...

The roofer was just finishing up...

The wind had been gusting all week...

And it took longer than anitcipated...

Due to poor weather...

But..

It is all done...

And looks great...

Onward & upward!

Before tackling the vacuuming and dusting...

I opted for a quick garden walk...dodging raindrops!!!

Can you believe this awesome Cleome is STILL blooming??

Lots of leaves this week...

 The beach looks like it took a real pounding from the wind and waves...

Looking West...the Fall colors are still visible...

 No sandy beach this week...all stones...

 Found this awesome shell...

Look at the color inside... 

I love when the stones on the beach are wet...

Shows off all the different shades of color...♥

Time to work my way back up to the cottage....get some work done!

To be continued........

Tomorrow......

With pictures of people.....

Other than ME!!!

They came to help my boyfriend put up the porch winter shutters...

Usually something we do ourselves...

But...

This year...

We asked for a hand!









We saw this beautiful rainbow on our way home....♥

 Hope you all had a great weekend...

Weather could have been better....

Lots of rain...and very little sun!

Today is sunny...but quite chilly....brrrr!

Have the Ham bone in the slow-cooker... 

How about some split-pea soup???

Pictures....if there is any left!?

                                               *******

On the menu this fine Sunday...

      Summer Fresh Pasta...remember I featured it a couple of weeks back?

                 Ceasar Salad...

What are you making for dinner tonight??


Enjoy the rest of your day...

                          Cheers!  :o)
