Random Moments From The Week......

Today will be a some pictures from the last week...

Starting at the cottage last Thursday...

A rather cloudy day...storms across the Lake, south of us...New York State...Dunkirk




My planter box on the shed (shunda) is doing very well this year...

Doesn't get a lot of sun here...or rain either...the Nasturtiums are popping!!



I kept hearing a small Chickadee family...

Finally spotted them on one of the bird baths...

Parents and 3 chicks...so adorable...this was the only good shot I got...

They were bathing and drinking...hopping around...very cute!

Hope they are still around this weekend♥️


This dragonfly was waiting for us on the beach deck...

Apparently he did not continue the journey with his buddies...

He looked spectacular against the blue deck, and even more handsome on the green table...

Sad that he didn't make it...ahhhh Nature!




I lost this silver hoop earring in April, while doing some gardening...

Luckily I kept the mate, as my boyfriend spied it in the garden...

And presented it to me!♥️

This was the 2nd time I had lost it, and he found it!

Thanks Boyfriend!




Our Friday night Fire pit...

Lovely and calm...Full moon...fabulous!



A few Critters I encountered...

I have never seen a squirrel with such a red tail....How about you??

He ws also kind of tame...didn't run away when approached...

Hope he stays OUT of the cottage!

The other Critter ws floating around in the pool!  Looks like he jumped on for dear life!!

Suddenly he jumped off....swam for "shore"...sadly...succumbed to the skimmer...

No...there was no way to save him...it all happened so quickly...





Sunday brought My daughter out to pick up Miss V...

The pool was all toasty, and Miss ve had a ball playing in the steps!








Noticed the my Ivy was turning red...

A wee bit early??

 


Another critter...probably looking for the wee mouse!
 

A piece of my delicious banana,lemon,raspberry loaf...

Very moist and delicious!

Hope you are all having a great day...

Still cool and breezy here...

All packed...

Off to the Cottage...

See 'ya!

Hydrangea...Phlox & Tiny Bird Houses.....


 The Hydrangea in my back yard at home, is a Limelight...

 Starts out small and lime green...

Gradually gets larger and turns a lovely soft green...



 The Hydrangea at the cottage...

 Is a standard pee gee white...

 Starts out pale green...and gradually turns white...



see the daddy-long-legs!







I have a nice clump of white Phlox...

Gets bigger every year...

 Best photographed late in the afternoon...

And after a rain! 








Check out these sweet tiny birdhouses my daughter Lissa painted for me♥️

Have to find the perfect spot...

I almost want to keep them for inside the cottage!! 






Hope you all had a great day...

Another kinda muggy one here...very breezy...can feel the cold front moving in now...

Temps high tomorrow , only 19*c....way below seasonal...

Supposed to warm up on the weekend...
