A Quickie Garden Tour.....

   Hope you all had a great day....

   It was a mix of sun and cloud today...and still breezy...very pleasant indeed!

   Got a chance to stroll thru the garden, while Miss V was napping....

   The star of the show, has to be the Summer Anemone...

   And boy oh boy...has she spread herself around the front garden this year...

   Only a few buds open...but I am sure by early next week...

   The whole front garden will be full of Summer Anemone!

   My deep pink Peonies are almost ready to burst...altho...a wee bit late this year...

   Johnsons Cranesbill Blue Geraniums are looking great....

   My deep purple...almost black...Columbine just starting to bloom....

   White Peony ready to bust open...can't wait to have some in the house...

                    Minus the ants of course!!!

                                 How many bugs did you count??

      Pink Verbanum in one of my planters...beautiful!!

           Well.....that completes the short tour for today...

               Hope you enjoyed it...do you have these flowers in your gardens??



                 We have 2 nice striploin steaks ready for the BBQ...

                      All peppered up and soaking in Worcheshire sauce..

                          1/2 a baked potato each...with fresh chives from the garden...

                              Fresh Ontario Asparagus....and some sauteed mushrooms...

                                             And that is a wrap.......

             Off to the cottage in the morning...

                          Hope you all ahve a wonderful sunny happy weekend...

                              And I'll see you all in a few days...


                                           Cheers!  :o)

Who Are All Those Guys, Nana?

 





 There has been a lot of activity in our small backyard oasis lately...

A few weeks back we had some of our deck replaced...   

Then we took the cover off the pool, and opened for the season...

Soon after...we discovered...we were losing water...but...only when the pump was running...

So....

Call the Pool Guy...

Bad news...the leak is UNDER the deck!!!

Usually...the leaks occur under the concrete pad around the deck...

And...believe me...over the past 25 years...we have had our share....

So...

Call the Deck Guy...

Take up some of the new boards...as well as some old ones...saw apart part of the base...and sure enough...

There was the pipe...water gushing out...

SO......Miss V was quite entranced watching all the goings on in the backyard...keeps pointing at the pool..."Wawa"...."Ball"...

Yes my dear...soon enough!

So.....today it got fixed....finally....water is nearly green....full of "keys" from the Maple tree...

                                         BUT.......FIXED!

                                                               YAY!
 

love those tootsies!!!

                               Last nights Moon....and a solar light....awwww!

       Hope you all had a great day....

                    Still kinda muggy here....but no sunshine...and windy!

                         Gonna slice up some grape tomatoes... 

                                Mince up some garlic...chop up some zuchinni..

                       Throw in some fresh basil....stir in some spaghetti...toast up a bun...

                               And eat some Ceasar Salad....

                                   Wednesday dinner.......DONE!


              Enjoy your evening....

                     Cheers!  :o)
