Bits & Bobs From The Weekend.......

Relaxing with a crossword, between chores...

Still beautiful Susans...from Devon...who is leaving for the other end of Canada tomorrow...4ever!

Beautiful Dragon Wing Begonias...sure fire winner!

Basket of Pink & White waxy begonias, and 4 o'clocks..

Hosta Flowers.....I love the later blooming ones...much larger blooms!

I think they resemble Lilies....

Pink Geraniums...she will join me inside for the Winter...

Another angle of the cottage...screened sunporch to the left...

Basket of Yellow and White Begonias...Fountain Grass behind



Oh...we all know what this is...in one of my thrifty vintage glasses...tee hee hee!

Goldfinch on the beach...drinking? eating? or just looking adorable!

This guy came back again...I know, they all look alike!



My wee Inukshuk family is still standing!!




Hope you all had a great day...

Went to Fitness...

New teacher...

Male...

Need I say more!

Still hot and sticky...

But some rain this afternoon...
















 Gonna put dinner in the oven...

      Golden crispy Pork Chops with sliced onions...

           Roasted Yams and Zuchinni...

            I think I like comfort meals the best...

             Roasting....slow-cooking....you know the type of food...

               And I find it easier than BBQ'ing...less work...more delicious...just sayin'

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

         Enjoy the rest of your evening...

                     Cheers!  :o)

Welcoming Miss September....




This past weekend brought many different things...
Will tell you all....in due time....
This was something I wanted to share....
This old birdbath at the cottage, has hosted many many bath times!
I am writing this from my IPad...so excuse the odd layout....






Captured this guy thru the window on Sunday morning.....
Just after this.....Mum and baby Grackle came in for a dip....
Very busy indeed!





The big finale!
How cute is that!
All clean...
All ready....
Bring it on!
Welcome Miss September...
Please be kind....more sun....more warmth....more summer♥️


Hope you are all having a great long weekend....
Kooky weather again!
Cloudy and humid today at home, we returned late yesterday afternoon....
The rumblings of thunder at the cottage were pretty scary.....and VERY high winds...

Enjoy your day...

            Cheers!

Toe Toes...New Slips....Humpty Dumpty...Oooooo Scary...







We had the privilege of having our Miss V for a couple of days this week...

Her Auntie Lissa came to visit, and as she saw we were both wearing our flip-flops...( a family curse!)...she decided it was time to try her own on!

She calls them her "toe toes"...so cute!

She got one on...

With the help of Auntie Lissa...

But couldn't navigate with them...

So back to the drawing board!!






Watching Bubble Guppies...sends her into a trance...

A nice quiet trance! hahaha!

Got her some new slippers...

Pretty snappy...and very toasty!






I picked up this wee Humpty Dumpty wind up at the thrift shop for 25 cents!


Hours of fun!










She got another haircut!

So cute....love it short...but also loved her pigtails!



















Here she is playing "spooky"...

Under the blanket!

Where"s Miss V???
Hope you are all having a great day...

Wee bit cooler today...and breezy...but plenty of sun!

We are off to the cottage...for another long weekend...YAY!!!

Hope you all have a great time...see some friends and family...eat...drink and be merry!

See you all next week...

                      Cheers!  :o)
