Yesterday With Miss V......

The visit yesterday started early...7:30 am...a whole day with us!!
First thing on the agenda...after my shower...was...
To make her Papa a Birthday card...which is today!!
She painted a coffee mug for him...which he loved!! 






After a teaparty...

And some play doh work...

We all headed out to Walmart, to return that crappy iron I had bought a few weeks back...

She discovered her Mom's Teletubby in the closet in her room...

"Why does he have a pickle on his head Papa?" 

Doesnt she look smart in her sweater, cowl and Poppy...I used a stud earring to keep it on for her...she was thrilled to have one just like us and all the other people!
We all went to Swiss Chalet for lunch...
And then home for 1/2 hour of Bubble Guppies..
And then a story and her nap...





After the nap...

Some banana bread...berries and yogurt...

And then....

BIKE RIDE!!!!

"Aren't you coming Nana?"

I stayed behind to vacuum...

Lucky me!!

When they returned...

She grabbed her rake from the garage...

And got busy on those leaves!

Such technique she has...

Always wants to help with everything!!

I LOVE IT!!











"Papa...I think Nana's forest needs to be raked too...ok?"

OK!! 

Darn pine needles!!







"Can we go in the back, and go swimming?"

"no...sorry dollface...
Not til next summer"









As her mom came up the street to pick her up...

She ran and hid behind a tree...

"Shhhh Nana...I am hiding!"

I think she can see you!!

Hahahahahaha! 




Even the faces in the garden, got a laugh out of that!!

What a day!!!

Til next time Miss V ♥️♥️♥️


Hope you are all having a great day...

Cloudy...dark...damp...wet...WINDY here.....

The cottage is experiencing 100km/hr winds...geesh...

How does the old girl stand up to it??

So...as today is my boyfriends birthday...{happy birthday boyfriend}

I am making him some Mussels for dinner...

One of his favorites!!

Hope it is not too bad weather wise where you are...

We are taking a drive to the cottage tomorrow...

Will decide whether to stay or not, when we get there!!

New porch winter shutters are being installed this weekend...

Need to keep the old girl safe...I will take a picture!

The old ones were in really rough shape...time for some new ones!!

Enjoy the rest of your day...

                       Cheers!  :o)

Bits & Bobs From The Beach....



 Hopefully back to some regular posts...

The birthdays have tuckered me out!

Thanks for all your lovely wishes for my kids...

I really appreciate all your comments...

And they do too!♥️

One more dinner this evening...

With Ryan, Erika and Miss V...

Lissa and Jeff are away at a Spa!!

And we can put the celebrations to rest...

At least for a month!



The beach pictures were taken last Thursday at the cottage...

These last few are evidence of the very heavy raking that was done...

All of the miscanthus have been cut down...

3 tiered rock garden all clear of leaves...

All beds have had their first rake...then...we ran out of steam...

Decided to plop into our chairs...enjoy the late day sun...and the birds...

Not sure if we will get out there this week...:o(

Tons of rain...and very high winds...gusting to 60 kms...

NOT fun at the lake....BELIEVE me!!!

  

IF we do get out there...I am hoping to see some blooms!

Lots of Daffodils,Scillia,Tulips,Hyacinth discovered...

Under the heavy layer of leaves...

                                        ~~~~~~~~~~~

Thought I would get this post in early today...
Lots to do...house to clean...dinner to prepare...groceries to buy...
Perhaps a short visit to the greenhouse!

Hope you all have a great day...
Not raining right now...but the promise of more later...
Gonna jump in the shower...
And get out there...before it starts again!

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

                        Cheers!  :o)
