The time finally arrived...
No more sleepovers for 2013....:o(
No more firepits and gazing at the stars...
No more dinners and dancing on the sunporch...
Well...
At least not this year...
But...
I am already...
Dreaming of...
An.....early...
SPRING!!!!
Our nieghbour told us, that the winds on Sunday night...
Were...
Incredible....
You can see by the debris pushed up, just how far the waves were washing in...
And...
It was so darn cold, that we didn't even clean it all up!!!
We usually do...
Pile it al in the bonfire pit...
But not yesterday...
It was bitter with the raging winds!
I had posted this picture, from our last week's visit...
The cinder block wedged here, was new to me...
Well...surprise...surprise...
This week...
GONE!!!! {next photo down}
Since we have owned the cottage, this cement collection has been dwindling every year...and apparently...every week!!!
When we first started coming here...we used to sit up here...with chairs!!!
At the end of the day...and enjoy the sunset!
I must look for some old photos...and scan them...
There won't be much blogging material, now that she is closed for the season...:o(
The waves also washed in tons of old Zebra Mussel shells...
Haven't seen these for a few years..
Check out this HUGE piece of Sea Glass that I found...
Glad I braved the nasty weather..
and headed down to the beach....
While my boyfriend tended to shutting off the water...
Emptying the lines...
Opening all the taps...
{all the hard stuff}...
I got busy in the kitchen...before the water was turned off..
Cleaned out the fridge...
Looks pretty good!
I usually leave it running...but...at the last minute...decided to unplug her...
And give her a rest for a few months!
Gave the bathroom a quick wash...and no sooner than I had finished...
The rain started...straight from the South....YUCK!!!!
My boyfriend and I sat down...watched the rain...and enjoyed....
A coffee...and a nice piece of Buttermilk Blueberry Breakfast Cake...♥
Looking out at our favorite view....in the whole wide world....
 |
| Lovely Green Dianthus...resting on the bench....enjoying the downpour! |
 | ||
| Zoomed in on the beach deck...waves are so rough...they are spitting stones up onto the deck! |
We are happy we got it closed down...
But...
We are sad that it is closed down...
Make sense???♥
Time to concentrate on Christmas...
Another favorite around here...
Today's flower pick....
For all of your to enjoy...
The Fantastic White Cosmos...
Love this!♥
Hope you are all having a great day...miserable as it is!!!
What is your weather like today???
*******
I tried to email a few replies to some of you...
And...for some ridiculous reason....Yahoo would not send any emails to
Hotmail accounts!
They redesigned the email as well...and perhaps it was temporarily out of order...will try again!
******
On the menu this Friday evening....
Slow-roasted Lamb Shanks...simmering in beef broth and Passatta...
Plenty of sea salt and fresh cracked pepper...
Simmering with onions,carrots and potateos..
*I also add a sprinkle of cinnamon to my lamb dishes*....shhhhhh...don't tell anyone!
Enjoy your evening...
Cheers! :o)
