A Cute Little Addition To The Garden....

Remember that wee $2 wheel-barrow I picked up at a Garage Sale across the street at the cottage???

Well...

I picked up 3 Kalanchoes....and a Fresh basil plant...and how beautiful does she look???!!!

I think the earwigs have been nibbling at my 2 other Basil plants...

All that was left was a twig!

And....I just can't be without Basil!

 Two of the Kalanchoes are Doubles...So pretty....Love these...

This basket, is the last of the cucumbers...

I have kept these cantaloupe, hoping they will ripen...

But...

I doubt it..:o(

There are still a few attached to the vine...

So...

We'll see what happens!

We ate all the sweet little yellow and orange tomatoes...

Right off the plant!

I think next year....that will be the only kind I grow!!!

They are so delicious!


 
 Perhaps a few more watermelons next week...

I think that is where this Flower is attached!!!

I could grow these veggies...just for the sweet small flowers!!

threw this picture in...just because I thought it was so cool!!!

Hope you all had a great day...

Started out cooler today...but turned kinda muggy by the end!

Had a fun day with Sweet Cheeks...boy....

She is a busy little bee!! hahaha!


On the menu tonight...

       Roast Beef with all the fixins'!!!

        Roast Yams,Potatoes, and carrots...and lovely gravy...

          Of course....horseradish for my boyfriend!

              Already have a pot of beef soup on...and spaghetti sauce!

                                                         *******************

I have hardly had a minute to visit you guys...

I am going to do that this evening.......FOR SURE!!!

My Hiatal Hernia is bad today...I hate this!!!



                                Cheers!  :o)

Tireless, Tantalizing,Tempting, Terrific, Tasty, Teeny Tomatoes...

At least those pesky raccoons didn't eat any of my sweet little tomatoes!!

Once again...

They bit into...

Pulled off the vines...

And...

Literally...

Destroyed any hope..

Of actually growing...

A Watermelon...

Or...

A cantaloupe...

Perhaps...

**SIGH**

Next year...

ANyway...these cute little tomatoes were delicious...

My boyfriend and I enjoyed them on Friday night...

All dressed in Olive Oil, fresh basil, black cracked pepper, black olives, some sweet sliced Vidalia onion.....topped off with some Goat's cheese!!!

They tasted so fresh and juicy...

And...there are lots left to ripen for next weekend....

Just put Vivian down for a nap...after our swim!!!

Boy she loves the pool!!! My boyfriend cranked up the heat...

Most delightful!!

                                  ***********************

Thought I would take this opportunity to talk about CUCUMBERS!!!

I have a million!!!

Well...not an actual Million...let's just say...PLENTY!!!

I even took to the street on Saturday mornng...

GIVING THEM AWAY!!!

There is a cottage 2 doors down...they are new owners..perhaps 2 Summers..

I have met them briefly...they are a lot younger than us...and have a HUGE Dalmatian...and a baby...that...{to put it gently}...cries A LOT!!!...sorry!

SO...I heard the barking etc...and thought I would give them a few cucs...

Turns out...the people there, were renters!! I said..."You are not the people who are normally here"....And they replied..."No...we are renting for the week...we are done this afternoon"...To which I replied..."Here you are...enjoy these cucumbers from my beach garden....Whoever you are!"...hahaha!!! BOY...was I redfaced!!!
 
I then headed across the street, as there was a garage sale...

Introduced myself...bought some things...gave her...{Jane} some cucumbers!!! Very nice lady...

Then...another guy and his son...who were at the garage sale...introduced themselves as the new owners, of another cottage...and that they haven't met anybody yet!!!

Well...hello... Stan, Steve and his wife Gloria...Welcome to Lowbanks...how about some cucumbers!!! hahaha!

They ended up showing me their whole cottage....{yucky} and came to our place for a 50 cent tour!!! They were in awe of our wee cottage....told them it has taken us 16 years to get to this point!!!

And.....


Don't give up on your place...

Hope you all had a nice weekend...

Can you see the wee watermelon there???

I guess it wasn't meant to be...kinda like me and Picasa Creative Kit!!!


On the menu tonight...

  BBQ'D Sirloin Steak...potatoes...mushrooms...corn-on-the-cob!!


Hope to get back in the pool later...after her nap...

Enjoy the rest of your day!!

Hot and Humid here...


                                Cheers!  :o)
