One of my very favorite blog friends...
Sent me a Guest Book for the cottage...
The pics that I had posted here and on IG, of Miss V signing my book at the cottage, inspired her to send me this book that she had had for many years and not used at her own home.
But the icing on the cake...
Was the adorable wee water colour that she included!!!!
She painted this of my toes...in my backyard here...with my blog title 💕
She is an excellent baker and a water colour artiste extraordinaire!!
Her home and gardens are fabulous...she certainly has the "Golden" touch...
Have you ever seen anything so sweet???
A few of you...who also follow her beautiful blog...will know who she is!!
I got my crochet hook out...and made her 2 cotton dishcloths, to thank her for her kind and beautiful gift!
I also made her a card...because that is what I do!! hahaha!!
I kept myself busy during all that rain last week...
Got 3 more dishcloths made up...just in case...😉
I am really enjoying making these...love all the different colours...
Now for a few shots from my garden here at home...
Not much really happening...other than a few Forget-Me-Nots....
But my Peonies are really taking off!! Ants and all!!!
My Trilliums are up...but no flowers...????
I posted this pretty flowerey vine yesterday on IG...
I do not know what it is!!
Betsy has tried to find it, but to no avail...
I got a shot of the leaves below...
Anybody know what this is???
I actuall think it gets a few berries in the Fall...
So...
Perhaps a bird left it for me!
And last...
But...
Certainly not least...
Miss V spent Sunday with us...
The same lovely gal who sent me the guest book, had given her grandson one of her older cameras to take a few photos with...
I copied her...and handed Miss V one of my smaller older ones..(actually the one I give my boyfriend to use from time to time)...and let me tell you...she had a ball!!!
A chip off the old block for sure!!! I have posted a few of hers on IG, if you want to take a look over there....
She was super...and even got a hilarious selfie...😂
So that is me up to the minute...
Hope you are all well...
Thinking of people in our country who are feeling the wrath of the recent rains...
Lots of flooding up here...luckily not for me...and the cottage is fine...
We are heading back down there in the morning...hoping for a few good days in a row...
Perhaps even a trip to the nursery....:o)
Oven Panko Cajun crusted Cod...homemade pasta salad...asparagus...
Dinner tonight!!!
Enjoy the rest of your week my friends...
Cheers! :o)

While looking thru my photos this morning...
I came across something rather exciting...
I had taken these in Florida...
And had completely forgotten about them...
So happy I found these...
This Journal, was a gift from my daughter Lissa for Christmas...
I had intended to actually start keeping a Journal...of things...
Had not quite decided what those "things" would be...
Perhaps my thoughts...inspirations...revelations...{really??}
A Journal of my Garden at the cottage...
To keep track of where I plant things...
Things I move around the garden...{where did I plant those Hydrangeas?}
Or a record of my day to day musings...
New things I would like to try...
Things I want to sew for the house...cottage...Miss V...
Alas...
I packed the Journal to take with me on my vacation to the beach...
Thinking perhaps I would keep track of things we like in our area...
Great meals out...{best burgers}
Super deals at the grocery store...{buy 1..get 1 free}
Strange sights along the trip down...
But...
Nothing was entered into the Journal...
But....I did come across it one rainy afternoon...
And thought it would be a perfect backdrop for a pair of new earrings...
I had purchased these for my Birthday...
My boyfriend has gotten into the {bad} habit...
Of letting me pick out my own gift while on vacation...
Nice of him...but I would really prefer something that HE picked out...
Know what I mean??? { of course you do}
Anyway...
I picked these Starfish earrings...
With a pretty stone in the middle...a local stone...
Guess I should have kept the tag, as I don't remember the name...
The whole purpose...was to highlight my beautiful Journal...
Isn't it just the prettiest thing?
And...
I promise...to put it to good use...
I think I will start this weekend...
As it will be our first sleepover at the cottage for 2015...
I must put it in my overnite bag... {have to make a note to do that}
Sounds like a great start...don't you agree??
I am really happy that I came across these photos...
Thanks for the beautiful Journal, Lissa ♥️
I hope you enjoy them...♥️
I hope you are all having a great day...
Another wet,gloomy,cold,foggy day here...
We are expecting a torrential rain this evening...
Then...supposed to warm up tomorrow...YAY!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am thinking Meatloaf for dinner...smashed potatoes with peppercorn gravy...fresh green beans...
A comfort meal...to warm our bones...
Perhaps a fire this evening...it is cold!!!
Right now, I am enjoying a big hot mug of Tea...
With a slice of my Sour Cream/Buttermilk coffee cake...
With a crunchy brown sugar/cinnamon/pecan topping...
What is going on at your place???
Enjoying the weather...or cursing it???
Any big plans for the weekend???
Do tell...
Oh...do you like my new font???
Or do you prefer the old font???
Don't be afraid to tell me....ok??
Enjoy the rest of your day...
Cheers! :o)
