Hope that you are all well and had a lovely Easter weekend...
We had our meal on the Friday...which turned out to the best day of the weekend!
Rain and clouds moved in for the remainder....
Miss V had a great time...loved all her Easter treats...💜
This handsome fella kept me company while I dressed up the front step for Easter....
I managed to finish 3 cotton crocheted dishcloths for the girls as an Easter treat...
I gave Miss V a small basket...and a garden tool belt...she was in heaven!!
We got the Pumpkin seeds planted yesterday, as there was a PD day from school...
We also baked...raked...rode...walked...coloured...PHEW!!!
Have a great week...
I hope to be back before it is over......
Cheers! :o)

It was a beautiful crisp morning at the cottage today...
The Lake was a lot calmer than the 2 previous days..
We spent 2 days...raking...raking...raking!! hahaha!
Friday was warm, but windy!!
Saturday was cooler...but sunny!!
The Blue Jays and the Squirrels were very busy having breakfast today...
I am so glad the Jays are back...
Back at home...time for brunch.....after arriving...and unpacking...I put some seed out...
Didn't take them long to find it!!
While we were eating brunch..{yummy}...
I spied the Cardinal and Blue Jay at the feeders...
Took the picture thru the kitchen window...with a lot of sunshine...so...not very clear...but I think you get the idea!
Thru the window...
I noticed a lot of Robins still around...
They were eating the Juniper berries in the back yard...
But...from the living room...I spied this guy in the pine tree...
What a difference different lighting makes!!
Isn't he gorgeous??
Hope you are all having a great day...and a wonderful weekend..
What were you up to???
Great weather,eh??
A bit chillier today, but wall to wall sunshine!!
Dinner will be Grilled Lamb Chops...Wild Rice...Mushrooms and peppers...
And....most likely some greek salad! hahaha!!
This was to be last nights dinner...but I was lucky enough to go out for dinner at the local Seafood restaurant at the cottage...had fish,shrimp,chips and coleslaw!!! Deeeelicious!!
Enjoy the rest of this beautiful day...
Cheers! :o)

The other night...
We noticed a lot of commotion in the back yard...
We couldn't believe our eyes!!
I have seen Robins do this...as you can see in my header...
But never a Cardinal!!
I have a lot of mirrors in my gardens...
This one was at ground level...
Poor young Mr Cardinal, must have thought it was another Male...
And this being "that" time of year...
Decided he would have none of that!!
These were taken from inside...the mirrors have all their winter dirt still on them..
He was jumping...pecking at the mirror...those shots are all blurry!!
I took a few more...love the way his tail is splayed out in the one...
We put him out of his misery...
Went out and covered the mirror...
He came back a few times...but he was satisfied...
He had chased that other Male away...hahaha!
Hope you all had a great day...
Rainy here...and actually kind of cold!
Tomorrow more of the same...:o(
Enjoy your evening...
I am catching up on the old episodes of "Call The Midwife"...
New Season starting soon...where the heck is Doc Martin??
What were you up to today...anything exciting?? DO tell....
Cheers! :o)

After a very hard day of raking...cutting...raking...cutting...
We settled into our chairs...with a cold refreshment...around 5pm...
To enjoy the late day sunshine...
And started to watch the show...
I had my camera ready...and had to zoom in on most of these shots...
Everyone was pretty darn hungry...
Even got a shot of a small barn swallow...calling for his mate♥️
We spent the night....pretty chilly...more water problems...
Will tell you all about that later...
But for now...enjoy the birds!

Hope you all had a great day...
Just started to rain here...and darn windy...AGAIN!!!
