First Cottage Sleepover Of Spring........

Saturday was a beautiful day at the Lake...

We arrived early afternoon...and after some lunch...got busy!

Raked...clipped...and burnt!

The wind was perfect for a bonfire on the beach...

I got the firepit ready for after dinner...

We went to the local fish restaurant, and had a great meal...

When we returned...we bundled up a bit...and enjoyed the firepit on the beach deck... 

When we went inside...we enjoyed a lovely fire there...as well!

 

Sunday morning was even brighter...and warmer...

A bit more raking...

New flag in place...

Sat on the beach deck...

And enjoyed listening to the birds...

And soaking in the warm sun...

It was near 20*c when we left for home...

 

As we got closer to Grimsby Ontario...

The fog was unbelievable...and the temps dropped to 4*C!!!

Quite a change in weather!

But...by the time we got home...it was 13*c again...

What a beautiful Easter weekend it was!!
 

Hope you are all well...

This crazy weather is getting out of control...

At least today is sunny...and not quite as windy...

Monday was hideous! hahaha!

I am off to pick up Miss V for the day...

I feel the park calling our names!!

     Enjoy your day...

         Cheers! :o)

Bits & Bobs..........

Lots of blooms to admire at the cottage last weekend...We did a lot of watering...Just to keep what was green...still green...if you know what I mean!!

The Summer Anemone are opening...should be more this weekend...My begonias continue to delight...such beautiful hearty plants...wish I could have a whole garden full of them!! I have a few Zuchinnis ripening...and a few tomatoes...perhaps we can eat them this weekend...we have another long weekend up here...but, rain is predicted, so perhaps my kids will come out on Saturday...to enjoy being lakeside!! My path to the beach deck is getting slimmer!! I trimmed some of the Miscanthus, to make it easier to get thru!! The Yellow Hollyhocks are a big favorite this year...I thought they were white...but...they seem to be yellow! Fine with me!!I think I see a spider on one of them! Pesky little things...The Moon was right over the Lake...and could be seen by about 5pm...Love when there is a full moon...I hope it hangs around for the weekend!! I took a few shots last night, it was magnificent! Will share those shortly...

 

The flower lady...aka Erika...brought me a 1/2 dozen small Sunflowers, so I took them to the lake for the sunporch...you can see below, they are glorious!!
The sunset over the lake...with the Moon...and a few Purple Martins flying around...they should be gone soon...they are teaching their young to fly and how to eat and drink...both of which they do while flying!!

This was how it looked as we left the cottage on Monday morning...lots of lake fog...the water is still relatively cool...and when it hits the hot air...this is what happens...kinda cool, eh??

Hope you are all having a great day!

Hot as heck here...into the low 40's...sticky and humid...

I am just about to leave to go and get Miss V...

She will have a sleepover with Nana & Papa...have not seen her since she was so sick last week...♥️

I have some pasta sauce bubbling on the stove...her favorite!!

Got her a new pair of jammies yesterday...Minnie Mouse!

And a new bathing suit...Sophia!

She will be thrilled...gonna try and get her into the pool...:o)

                  Enjoy the rest of your day...

                          Cheers!

The Flowers Say It All........

We headed for the cottage on Thursday morning, as the weather people, said it would be a great day out on Lake Erie...

We arrived to a soggy, steamy, messy cottage...lots of dirt washed up from the rains and winds...and the KEYS from the Maple trees...don't get me started on that!!

We had some lunch, and got started on our various tasks...

Boyfriend blew,raked and swept keys..

Then he tried to murder them with the lawnmower...but every attempt failed...miserably!!

And....every time the wind picked up...they would come twirling down!!

I chose the sunporch and kitchen porch as my projects...cleaned, wiped, swept, polished from top to bottom...lovely and clean...after we had both finished, we were sweaty and dirty...We decided we should have at least one cold beer before our showers...well...perhaps 2...hahaha!

After all of that...feeling refreshed and clean...we settled back on the beach deck, to watch the goings on...birds, squirrels, chipmunks...you get the idea...

Well...the skies darkened....and the fog started to drift in..and I mean pea soup fog!!! In we went, as a sort of misty rain, accompanied the fog!!

We decided to watch the news, and see if we could get a weather report...

We ate dinner, and then was when I got the bird shots...thru the window!!

Around 8pm...the sky cleared...and the wind died down...too wet to sit outside, so our beloved screened sunporch was clean as a whistle, and whistling our names!!

I enjoyed my flower pots that I had planted out there...my son and Anna gave me those for my birthday!! Nice, eh??

SO.............that was our Thursday...

I wonder what Friday will have in store for us??? hmmmmm....

Hope you all had a great weekend...

Got around to a few of you...not all...will get there...promise!!

We had Miss V today...gosh it was hot at the park!!

She dangled her toe toes in the pool to cool off!!

Enjoy the rest of your day...

Cheers!   :o)
