Seagull....Seadoo....Sunset...*sigh*

Friday afternoon was so beeeeutiful...

When the sun had left the beach deck...

My boyfriend took 2 old lounge chairs...

Cleaned them up...

Added 2 cushions and 2 footstools...

And down we went...

To the shore...

Calm as can be...

Lots of sunshine...

A few glasses of cheer...

My trusty camera...

And enjoyed the water sights...

I hope this weather continues well into Fall...

What a perfectly perfect 3 1/2 day weekend....

Was I right or what???

A perfect ending to a perfect day...

And there is still Saturday to come!!

And a few flower shots...

Of course!























Hope you are all having a great day...

So Glad We Went On Thursday...

Hope you all had a great weekend...

Our weather was spectacular...

Gentle breezes...calm Lake...swimming...eating...drinking!!

Taking in all the Lake has to offer

And...I am so glad we went on Thursday...or...

We would have missed this beauty!!

For some reason my Daturas are kinda pitiful this year...so...when I spied this one...

I had to follow her progress for the evening...

If we had not gone until Friday...

She would have been gone...amazing!!

                                 **********************************************

We are having a sleepover tonight with Miss V...

She is napping right now...and then...we will hit the pool!!

My daughter Lissa and her husband Jeff are coming over...

I picked up 2 rotisserie chickens at Costco...delicious...and Gluten-free!!

I have fresh yellow beans...small fresh carrots and a few new potatoes to prepare...

Of course a Greek salad....my speciality!


Enjoy the rest of your day....

We are hot and humid again....fannnnntastic!!

                             Cheers!   :o)

Ode To The Hydrangea....

Every year around this time...

I head down to the Hydrangea patch...

Located outside an office building...

Always an incredible display...

I consider it my DUTY...

To pluck a few...

For my gazing enjoyment...

Also...it certainly...

Spruces up the old homestead!  

Judge me...

If you must...

I take a dozen or so, from the back of the shrub,which has a very high hedge behind it...

No one will notice...tee hee hee!!!

Flowers are to enjoy,savour,taste...

And I intend to continue to do just that!

living room...(disregard the outdoor seat cushions piled in the dining room!)

family room...beside Miss V♥️

foyer...to greet us

           But the best...most beautiful...freshest...crispest..

                         Are still mine...

              My Limelight Hydrangea...which sits beside the pool...

                        Enjoying the afternoon Sun...

                         And...all of its admirers...

                                         me♥️

               Hope you are all having a great day...

                 We are off to the cottage...hope it rained out there...(fingers crossed)

                     Hoping for good weather...after last weekends miserable Saturday  :o(

                          Enjoy!!

                             Cheers!  :o)

Thru The Kitchen Window.....

I have not been feeling up to par the last few days...

I think this roller-coaster weather is starting to get to me...

Is it hot and humid???

Is it cloudy and rainy???

Is it crispy and cool???

Anyhoo...

I pulled myself up by my bootstraps...

Got into my gym clothes...

Dragged my sorry arse over to Fitness...

Had a great time!!

Saw all the girls!!!

Went out for coffee afterwards...

I forgot how much fun I actually have...

And what wonderful gym Ladies they are♥️ 

After the coffee and chit chat...

I headed down to pick up Miss V...

While we were having lunch...

I took a few pictures thru the kitchen window...

It is a beautiful day out there...

And...now that there is a nap going on...

I am heading outside...

With my camera...

To do some light yard work... 

I am crippled from fitness!!!

Devon...{friend and instructor} really put us thru our paces this am...and I feel it!

The Rose of Sharon that grows right outside the kitchen window,is putting on a grand display right now...

As are my Porcupine Grasses, and of course the Limelight Hydrangea...

Just have to look out my window to see beautiful things...

How lucky am I?

 

Stopped by the Greenhouse on my way home...

Picked up 3 Fountain Grasses...a cabbage,a mum and a few odd begonias...

Gonna perk up the old front to greet the newest Season...

Have you bought anything for Fall decorating yet???

Am I too early???

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

Hope you all had a great weekend...and a great start to the week...

Think we'll have banquet burgers..{minus the bacon!} and Greek Salad for dinner...

Rain...supposedly...on its way tonight and tomorrow...good for the garden!! 


       Enjoy the rest of this glorious day...

                            Cheers!  :o)
