It's Raining...It's Pouring...

It's raining...

It's pouring...

My garden is happy...

and...

So is this wee guy ♥️

Took all of these thru the window...

Hope it rains all day...

Sheets changed and washed...

White load done and folded...

Cottage laundry done and ready to go back...

I have a pork tenderloin for dinner...

Not sure whether to slice and grill like medallions...or go for the oven, and roast it whole??

Ahh....decisions...decisions....

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


Hope you all had a great weekend...

Ours was verrrryyyy relaxing at the cottage...

Finished up another crochet project...boyfriend finished his latest read...

The most noise we heard, was from the sprinkler...watering...

Everything was as dry as a stick...lots of cleaning up to do... :/

Not my favorite of garden chores....to say the least...

Next weekend will come soon enough for that job...YUCK!! 

From my archives!!

Right now...cup of tea and a sliced apple suits me just fine...

What are you up to this fine Monday afternoon???

Enjoy the rest of your day....

                           Cheers!  :o)

Today In The Garden.....

It is a very hot,humid,sunny,windy day here in Southern Ontario.

After doing some grocery shopping..a visit to the Greenhouse...and a shop at Winners..tee hee hee..

I headed home...changed into some cooler clothes...

Did a small garden walk...

And took a few pics...

Had made a sweet bouquet for inside...

I actually made the bouquet yesterday, as I was wondering around the yard with no camera!!

As I reached for the hose in the backyard...

I was greeted by a beautiful dragon fly...

After some coaxing...he/she took off on their merry way!!

The Squirrel proof feeder I got for Mothers day...

Apparently RED did not get the memo...

He was having a grand old time...

INSIDE the feeder!!

Oh gosh...I laughed at that!

Must send my daughter and SIL a photo!! 







Hope you are all having a great day...

Hot and steamy where you are???

Hopefully we will get some much needed rain here...

Nothing so far for a few weeks!!

I am going to use the good old BBQ this evening...

Big juicy beef shishkabobs to grill!!

Peppers..onions and mushrooms to accompany them...

And some wild rice...And Ceasar salad...what the heck!!

Whats going on in your kitchen..or backyard..tonight??

         Enjoy your evening...

                    Cheers! :o)

Colours In My Garden At Home.......

limelight hydrangea

Impatience

Weed tree

Perennial Mums

Perennial Bamboo

Vine Geraniums

Bamboo and White Pine

Sunday past was a great day for a short garden tour...

I found plenty of colour...

From Golden Yellows...

To Crispy Reds...

Even some Perfect Pink...

I have 2 Ferns still in mint condition, but nowhere to put them inside...

Still a few Geraniums to bring in...

And a few Hens & Chicks...

And of course some Waxy Begonias...

The perennial Bamboo puts on a glorious Fall show...

Need to cut that down...

To be perfectly honest with all of you...

I have done NO winter garden preparations yet here at home...

Nothing...

Nada...

Zilch...

Zero...

It has been rather soggy...and I do not like trying to rake up wet plants...

If I get one Sunny day...{I know, I just had one on this day...hahaha!}

BUT... that was Sunday...and the kids were coming over...

Face it...I need to be in a pinch...down to the wire...last ditch chance...

And then....everything gets done rather nicely and efficiently...

I am sure there will be a day next week, where I can get to work...

Don't mind if it is cold and sunny...

Just not SOGGY!!

And be darn sure....I will chronicle every last movement!!!!

To share with you lovely people....hahaha!    tee hee hee      *giggle*

                    Started out sunny here...now it is gloomy, dark and windy...

                       Hope to get outside after Miss V wakes from her nap...

                            I feel a bike ride coming ♥️

   Going to try a new recipe that I found on that hideous place PINTEREST !!!

              ***Skillet Pork Medallions in Mushroom Marsala Sauce***

                            Seems pretty straighforward...wish me luck!!

                                   What's cookin' in your kitchen??

                       Hope you enjoy the rest of your day...

                                     Cheers!  :o)
