We have not seen any sun here since last Monday, when Miss V enjoyed her bike...
Yesterday...
I stuck my face out the front door...and knew I had to take some pics of my beautiful waxy begonias♥️
They are looking as perky as the day I planted them...
Such an incredibly long lasting...easy to grow...hardy...
glorious flower!
Can't say enough about them...
Do you grow them in your gardens or containers??
We are at the gate to the backyard...
The Ivy is turning RED in certain spots...how curious!
If I were take you thru the gate...you would find more wonderful waxy begonias...
Smiling their sweet little faces off...
But...
No...
Not today...
You will have to wait....tee hee hee!
DEB was asking about my loaves...or cakes...
So...here is a shot of one...
Before going in the oven...
Doesn't that look gooood?!
My boyfriend and I had a piece yesterday afternoon...
With a nice cup of coffee...sorry...no tea today!
I sure do miss my tea buddy Devon...
All the way out in beautiful BC...
Luv 'ya Devon♥️ This ones for you!
Hope you are all having a great day....
At least the sun is shining today....very humid and sticky...
much better than last nights fog and drizzle....
We are off to the cottage...supposed to rain tonight and turn very chilly tomorrow...10*C!!!!
Perhaps we will be home tomorrow...
The furnace is in place, but not connected yet...very excited about that!
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend...
See you later!
Cheers! :o)

I got a chance this afternoon...
To take a quick look....
Around my garden..
It was a brisk, sunny day....
I put on my shoes and a big sweater...
Grabbed my trusty camera...
And headed out...
It felt really nice...
Cold...
Crisp...
Refreshing...
Miss V had left early afternoon...
And..I was..
Kinda...
Feeling sorry for myself...and missing her...♥
I think I found some extraordinary color...
From the Crimson reds....
To the Pale Yellows...
And the Limey Greens...
The Solomon Seal is putting on an extremely beautiful show right now...
Such a lovely Perennial.....in every season...
And...of course...who can forget the Hosta...a real favorite...
These Mums have been in my garden for over 25 years...I almost forgot about them, as they are near the sidewalk...
For passers-by's pleasure....:o) is that a word???
The Oak tree...which a kindly squirrel planted for me...
There are no others nearby...so he brought it specially for me...♥
The Boston Ivy is turning a hot red...
This is one side of my house...
The Ivy wraps all the way down, and cross the back of the house...
I featured it in my header, that you have all graciously commented on...
The back is nearly bare...
The windy days have taken care of that!!!
The backyard Cedars, are unusually yellow this Fall...
Dropping a lot of their leaves...
Making quite a mess!!
The Boston Ivy leaves on the back deck...along with their berries....
I know this Miscanthus Plume is not Yellow or Red...
But...
Gosh.....
Isn't it awesome?
We have this spectacular view out our kitchen window....
I took lots more...
But...
I need to start limiting the number of pictures I post...
Takes too long to organize them...
Into some semblance...
Hope you enjoyed this short tour...
Have you all got plenty of color still left in your yards???
Or.....has Mother Nature finished her work for now....
********
Hope you are all having a great day...
Thanks for all your well wishes for Miss V, my daughter...and boyfriend...
They are greatly appreciated...♥

Heading our for Greek tonight...
But.......I have 2 cakes cooling on the counter...
This time....Vanilla Cinnamon Banana Blueberry loaf..
with..
Brown sugar, walnut cinnamon topping...
The house smells AWESOME!!
Considering....we are being "SKUNKED" every other night here!!!
Smells like he is right in the room with us....AWFUL!!!
Hope he/she moves to a new location...PEEEE EWWW!!!
********
Enjoy your evening...
Cheers! :o)

As I walked about the garden yesterday...
I saw quite a few things, that reminded me of Fall color..
The bright red of the sunshine Impatience stems...
Hopefully some more blooms yet to come...
And a small waxy begonia...
Nourishing some new blooms...
To extend the season even longer...
The Porcupine Grass outside the kitchen window, is sending out lots of feathery plumes...
To enjoy all winter...
*************
On the house...
The Boston Ivy is starting its Fall colors...
There will be red, yellow and green all mixed together...
For a spectacular show...
This Limelight Hydrangea sent out one flower spike, after I rescued him from being buried under a ton of Day Lilies...
So glad I found him....I will keep a close eye on him for next year!!!
Perhaps that bloom should come inside...and sit on my desk in a pretty vase!
Yes...I shall do that....tomorrow....yes....tomorrow!!
This climbing Euonymus..... {actually belongs to my neighbour, but he pokes thru the fence...and we like it!! the euonymus....not the neighbour!!! hahaha!}...... It produces these tiny berries in the Fall...and they gradually turn redder...I use them in some of my outdoor greenery displays...
And...
Last but not least...
My sweet little Kalanchoes...
From June...
Cut back...
And...
Flowering...
Again...
How precious...
Is...
That?!
Now...get inside!
Ok...you can stay out for a few more days...
Really hot today...
Apparently the Humidex is returning for the weekend....YAY!!!!!!!!!
****************
Hope you are all having a great day...
My boyfriend and I are both on antibiotics....AGAIN!!!
Hopefully.......feeling better real soon....
Now....I have a big glass of ice water with my name on it...
And my latest crochet project waiting for me....on the couch!!
On the menu tonight...
Rotisserie Chicken and Ceasar Salad....Easy....Peasy...I like it! ha!
The pool cover is going on later...my son and SIL are coming to help...
Will be sad to not look into the lovely blue colour..
But.........there is always next year!
Enjoy the rest of your day.......
Cheers! :o)
