The Icebergs Have Floated Away....

     Finally a more Summer-like view....well...except of course for all the raking that still needs to   be done....but...at least the Icebergs have floated away...so much better!!

The new flag is up....Welcome another cottage season!!

It was a glorious Saturday afternoon....North wind, so perfect for a lakeside bonfire...and a few refreshments!
Of course...this was after the big clean-up featured below!

this was my biggest job that I got done...cut 2 of the big Miscanthus...rake all the leaves out...get them down to the bonfire...YAY!!!

Still lots of raking to be done...but...with this warm weather, perhaps a few blooms soon!

     


We also enjoyed another bonfire with our neighbours...

Then retired inside...for a lovely Rib dinner...

And a cosy sit by the fire inside!

I have not mentioned the one problem we have...

The water would not start...seems we have a leaky pipe in the basement...a plumber will be required...
BUT.... we did spend the night...toasty and warm in our bed...
But no water....YET!
Hopefully real soon....... 








And a kooky picture of me and my boyfriend!
DO we look SLEEPY or what???
Well.......WE WERE!!!!

                                                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

            Hoping you all had a great Easter weekend!

               Always over too darn fast...

                  Time to put the Easter decorations to rest for another year!

                        Enjoy the rest of your day...

                                    Cheers!  :o)

Feast Your Eyes On These Beauties!!!

Every Fall...

I visit a small office complex...

And "Borrow"...

A "Few" Hydrangea blooms...

From their surrounding gardens...

I made my annual trek...

About 2 weeks ago...

They are so beautiful...

I used one of my pics...

For my new header...

I cut enough...

For a lot of decorating...

I fill with water for a couple of weeks...

And then I just let them air-dry..

Still in their receptacles...

This year...

I got them when there were still some Pink ones...

Mixed amongst the green ones...

LOVE THESE!!!

 

I do believe I see another header or 2 in there!!!

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

Hope you are all having a great day...

Finally got my jam made today...will share later..{pics...not the actual jam!!!haha}

I have some chicken marinating in buttermilk...and I have everything ready to slap another blueberry-buttermilk breakfast cake into the oven...

Still some under-the-weather going on...hope I don't get it!


Enjoy the rest of your day....and evening...another gorgeous day!!


                                 Cheers!  :o)
