Jars and Stoves and Pillows and Steaks...oh yeah...and some Wine!!

Back from the cottage...
What a great weekend...
Got some cool new jars...

Spray painted my stove top...looks marvelous my friends...

Sewed 2 outdoor fabric pillows...

Swam, and swam and swam again...

1/2 hour of rain...:o(...still watering...but everything is actually holding up pretty well...considering!! 

The jar with the green glass lid is marked BELGIUM...it seemed the perfect jar for our latest beachy finds...sea glass, small shells interesting stones etc...

This jar is just perfect for my latest tasty breakfast treat...Overnite Oats...will share the recipe this week...soooo easy and soooo delicious..

This cool one is an Atlas E-Z seal....has a glass lid, with a star pattern on it...many uses for this one...

So I took my stove top down to the beach, and gave it a good spray of fresh white [heat reisistant] paint

Looks like a million bucks....:o)

My green glass lid jar, sits on my shelf to the sunporch, right beside a potato vine in water...it broke off, so I had to put it in water...remember...I am a gardener!!!! Try and save everything...

Bought this outdoor fabric a few weeks ago, and finally covered 2 cushions...nice and bright, eh??

 


At the end of the day...after catching every last piece of sunlight on the deck...we moved up to the sunporch...

We dined on BBQ steak, potatoes with sourcream and chives...mushroom, onions and red and yellow peppers...

                  DELICIOUS...yummy..tee hee hee 



Of course....washed it all down with a nice dry Merlot....from our local vineyards in Niagara...

hope you all had a great weekend

I am still hoping for some rain...

Back soon with some new faces in the garden...home and cottage..








     Cheers!    :o)

Pink Hollyhocks & Yucca Blooms....

These Beauties were open last weekend at the cottage...

These are all kind of a deep rose...except for one pale one at the end...hopefully there will be more open this weekend...Perhaps I will have to stake them!

I am adding a few shots of my Yucca....
you never know if it will be finished before I get back there again...


Enjoy...  :o)

 Hoping to be back here
real soon...looks like another scorching few days ahead...

Stay cool...

What is blooming in your garden???

Where is your favorite place to sit and daydream???







                                Cheers!   :o)

Smitten.......

I have a confession to make....

I am absolutely smitten with these bright orangey, yellowey zucinni flowerettes....

Absolutely smitten.....:o)

So....that means you get to look at them as well....[tee hee hee]

I am not seeing any fruit....but OODLES of fluffy flowers...

Hope you enjoy them as much as I do...

oh yeah...something else I am smitten with...the cottage...not sure I have shown you this angle...this is the roadside...the large windows are our little TV room, and past that is the basement door...I don't go down THERE very often...that is the Mr.'s responsibility...sweeping etc...the pump and hot water heater are down there....not my favorite place...:o)

And this is the view from behind the sunporch...down to the lake...ahhhhhhhhhh...

  

     


      Hope you all had a good day....heard rumbles of thunder around noon...but not a drop of rain....perhaps this evening...

                   Happy 4th of July to my American blogger buddies...

                                Enjoy!!!!

                                                    Cheers!   :o)

Saturday Night....Full Moon Over The Lake....

What a great Canada Day weekend this was...the weather couldn't have been better...

And to top off the evenings, the Moon was slowly making his appearance...

I walked down to the beach to get these shots...

Kinda dark....but rather cool...I thought..

        Hope you all enjoyed your time off....

                     Visiting with family....

                             Moon gazing......

                                  Enjoy your evening...

                                       Cheers!         :o)
