This past weekend at the cottage was stellar...
Calm water...plenty of sunshine...and of course storm clouds that just drift down to the US on the south side of the lake...
The Hollyhocks are incredible this time of year...I think they like the cooler temps...and the bees were plentiful...thank goodness for that!!!
I hope my Obedient Plants are blooming this weekend...the Hummingbirds and the Bees love them!!
The Canada Geese are planning their strategies over the Lake...
They gather in huge numbers...and practise their flight path!!!
We love when they fly right overhead....honking and flapping...
Nothing like it!!
Even the Sea-doo doesn't phase them...
The Monarchs are still loving the Milkweed plants...
We are lucky enough to be on their migration path down at the cottage...
I laid out 3 more driftwood hangers, and got them put together...
I have another basket collected for my boyfriend to drill for me...
Wish I could convince him to try drilling the beach glass we find...would love to make something with them!!
We eat pretty darn well when we are at the cottage too!!
This was chicken Ceasar salad...with added corn from the night before...
It was delicious!!!
And...breakfast on the sunporch is the best!!
Back here at home...the burgers were excellent...and more corn!!!
The Grasses are putting out their Fall plumes...
And the best little swimmer came for a sleepover...and swam ALL DAY LONG!!
♥️♥️♥️♥️
Hope you are all well...and enjoying these last few days of August...
Thinking of the people in Texas...such a horrible thing...
I follow a lovely blog from Texas...hope all is ok with her lovely family...
Sending good wishes to you Tanna...
We are off to the cottage in the morning...
Chili all made...ready for all the kids on Saturday...
Have a great long weekend everyone...
Stay safe...
Cheers! :o)

What a fabulous Fall... 4 day weekend we had at the cottage...
Actually...
Felt more like Summer!!!
Gorgeous sunny skies...warm temps...north wind...fantastic!!
Hope you all had a great weekend too...
Today is kinda cloudy...kinda humid...damp...bit of rain...
Expecting a cold front to bring some rain for tomorrow...
Oh well...Summer can't last forever I guess!!
The leaves are turning too fast...and falling too fast...
Hold on for a while!!
We need to rake and have fun with Miss V in the leaves!!
Thanks so much for all the lovely birthday wishes for Erika...
Much appreciated!
I also see a few new followers...welcome!
hope you come back often...a great bunch here♥️
Enjoy the rest of your day...
Buttermilk soaked...panko crusted Cod for dinner...
Bok Choy...heirloom carrots...green beans...
No carbs tonight!! Way too much to eat on the weekend...hahaha!!
Oh...but I will most likely add a few tomatoes, with cheese and avacado...
Just 'cause I can!! hahahaha!
Have a great day...
Cheers! :o)

Friday was the day the grass got cut...
Dusting was done...
Bathroom and kitchen cleaned...
Lovely dinner on the sunporch...
But...
SATURDAY...
Was the day all the fun happened...
The sun in the morning was fabulous...
Coffee...crumpet and jam on the beach deck...
Got showered...
And then...
THEY ALL ARRIVED!
My boyfriend needed to go into town...
So, he took Miss V and Erika with him...
And look what they brought back!!!
COTTAGE BIKE!
Miss V was so excited!
Alas...
No pictures of her riding it...
Next time...
Must go to the $ store and get a few accessories for it!!
Miss V and her Mom found these 2 pieces of white beach glass...
Nobody was staying for dinner...
So we stayed 'til the sun was just starting to set...
They all went home...
My boyfriend and I went to the local Fish restaurant and had a lovely fish dinner...
Missed the entire Sunset that day...
But the day spent with our kids...
Made it a perfect day ♥️
The Canada Geese's white rumps were shining in the Sunset...
Hope you all had a great day...
Still the same lousy weather here....
Baked 4 loaves...made more jam...laundry...
Heading out to the Greek for dinner tonight...
Just leaving for the grocery store...
Enjoy your afternoon and evening...
Cheers! :o)
