Hostas & Swimming...








My larger Hostas in my backyard here at home...

Are later bloomers...and their flowers are white...

I think they are magnificent...

And I think that I prefer them to the earlier blooming Mauve ones...

What do you think???? 


Today was our day with Miss V...as it has been for every Wednesday for a very long time...come September, that will change. She will be in JK, and not near us, like her daycare is. We have been coming to terms with this all Summer...knowing that all good things come to an end. We will have her for PD days...a few holiday days...and if she is sick...But...it breaks my heart to let her go. She is growing up so fast...I want to stop the clock for a while. I shouldn't complain...some people rarely get to see their grands...or they live clear across the country...I am very grateful for all the time we have been able to spend with her...but I SURE will miss her after the next 2 weeks.Onward and upward, eh???
 

I took a short movie of her today...she is actually swimming!! I know...with her Elsa vest on...but SWIMMING!!! So proud of the progress she has made this summer...We will definitely get her out for a few more swims...
 

 Just because my White Rose of Sharon is so beautiful this year...♥️


This was our dinner last night....I made fish tacos for the FIRST time...and I must say...they were delicious!!

I used Cod filets...BBQ'D with Cajun seasoning...

Coleslaw...chopped red onion...avacado...sliced yellow peppers...chipotle...

I will def make these again...delightful and easy!!

Tonight will be spaghetti and meatballs...with some crusty bread...too darn tired to make salad!!!

Miss V is spending the night...lots of stories to be read♥️ and of course...a nice warm bath...love these times!

Hope you are all well, and enjoying the weather...we are warm again, but it sure was nice to have a break on Monday....

I think we are to get rain overnite...fine with me!!

Not sure if we are going to the cottage tomorrow or Friday...

Only time will tell...

           Enjoy your evening...

                Cheers!   :o)

I Had Another Post In Mind....But This Is Way More Fun!!










After lunch...
We promised Miss V, that she could try and ride her "Big" bike again...
We had given her a Barbie helmet for her birthday, and she was itching to try it out!
She had had problems with the pedals...and the brakes...
The tricycles at daycare don't have any brakes,
SO...whenever she stopped pedalling, and pushed her feet back...she braked!!
With a lot of help...and determination from her Papa...

                                    SHE DID IT!!!
 All the way back to the house...she pedalled happily!!

                                   Good job Miss V!!!

She is napping now...and then we will go out for another ride!!

Hope you are all having a great day...
Lovely weather here...partly cloudy...breezy...

I have a new recipe that I made today for dinner tonight!!
From my Canadian Living magazine... 

          Smoky Pork Bolognese Sauce...
              Served over Rigatoni Pasta...
                 With Ceasar Salad...
             Yummy!!
Will take pictures...for another post on Dinners...
Hope it is good...:o) 

Have a great rest of your day!!
What were you up to???

                      Cheers!  :o)

Lunch...new hat....Nap...new hat...Backyard...new hat...Splish Splash...new hat!



Yesterday afternoon was spent with our favorite little girl...
Peanut butter and homemade jam sandwiches,along with a few grapes was lunch...
Off for a nappy poo...
After sporting her new hat I got her!
After the nap...she wants to go "outside"...
We gladly accomodate...
Chair needs to go too!!
After putting her shorts on...
And of course...sunscreen!
Out we go...
Fun with the net...
Catching the floating pool thermometers...
Piggies splashing on the steps...
Even a caterpillar crawled by...
She really liked him!
The wind caught her hat, which Papa quickly placed back onto her cute little head...
We all had a great day...
Waiting for the next ♥️










             Hope you all had a great day...

                   Still kinda muggy today....bits of sunshine....bit of rain...now cloudy

                     Think we'll have leftover pasta and potato salad...{from last night}

                           With a bug juicy burger patty alongside...

                                    Enjoy your evening...
