Can You Blame Us???

We got to spend 4 days here last week...

And...let me tell you...it was gorgeous!!!!

Although a bit on the Windy side...we always find a nice sunny spot to sit...

And just enjoy Nature...and...thank our lucky stars...

That we bought this little piece of paradise...🌟

Our driveway was absolutely saturated with the Bridal Wreath Spirea...

Stunning....

While I made Potato Salad...

This was my view...

BY the way...I had a cob of cooked corn left over...I added it to the salad...

Deeeelicious!!

I finally got my baskets potted up...

Used a mix of Perennials from the garden and annuals...

We will see how they do....

I did not buy as many annuals as I usually do...

I may have to visit the Nursery again...😉

These White Dianthus are in a basket from 3 years ago...

Aren't they just brilliant???? 

Lake Erie never disappoints...and it is extremely high from all the rain...

The sunporch is coming together nicely...

Just need a few more finishing touches...

Our very favorite spot....

Hope you are all well...

I am so pleased with myself that I actually got 2 posts out this week...

We are heading back down right after lunch...

Can you blame us????

          Thanks for all your lovely comments....

               Most appreciated....

                     Have a lovely week and weekend...

                          The sun is supposed to be hanging around a lot more...

                                      Cheers!  :o)

A Trio Of Flowering Shrubs At The Cottage........

              There were a few shrubs in flower this past weekend at the cottage...

                   At the road side, we have 2 Wiegela...one variegated, one plain...

            I had dug them up from home, 

                  And planted them out there about 10 years ago...

                      Needless to say...

                                       They love it out there!!!

                    I especially like the way this one drapes over our fence...

                            And...the variegation stays all summer...very attractive!

 

               Next is the Diablo Nine Bark in  flower....

               The leaves were deep burgundy when I bought it and planted it...

                         Now...only a small section still has the burgundy leaves.... 

                                          What a gorgeous bloom....
 

                  My Bridal Wreath Spirea was actually at its peak last weekend...

                           I had taken a few shots...but forgot to use them!! 

                                   Nonetheless....

                                                  Still beautiful!

 

          Hope you all had a great day...for a Monday!!

          Very dark and cloudy here...damp...humid....kinda yucky!

                  We are having some fried rice I made with mushrooms, celery and green onions...

                      Some Ontario fresh asparagus...

                          Cod fillets...roasted to a crispy goodness...

                  Starting with a loaded spinach salad...{gee...I better get crackin'...this is making me hungry!!}



                  Enjoy the rest of your evening...

                        Do anything fun today???

                             Do anything exciting today???

                                  Do anything at all today???


                                                Cheers!  :o)
