Another cold one here....snow on the ground this morning...melted quickly!

The winds are really cold...and blustery...

Boyfriend and I ran a few errands this am...

Dropped off some donations at a thrift shop...

Looked at exterior doors...who knew that was so  complicated...and $$$$!

Ended up at Swiss Chalet for a lovely lunch...

Made a huge pot of chicken soup...still bubbling away...

Pepper steak over No Yolk noodles and a Greek Salad for dinner...

Perhaps a fire this evening....geesh!!!

Still working on the afghan...nearly done!!

Miss V helped me wrap a few gifts for her aunt and uncle...

This is the hail on the pool cover...

Wonder when..if ever...we will open that!! 




Hope you are all having a great day...

Saturday thru Sunday.....

By Saturday afternoon...

The sun was shining...

The wind shifted to the NE...

The ice flows started to melt...

It was a gorgeous day...

Made chili...

Sat and watched the world go by!! 

By Sunday...all the ice flows were gone...bright blue skies...fabulous!

When we left the cottage at 3pm, it was 17*c...

As we got closer to home...

The temps dropped to 8*c...quite chilly and windy at home...

My boyfriend was quite the beach glass collector this weekend...

All 5 pieces!!!

When he moved that huge staircase off the beach...

Good job!!

And the Swallows have returned...

Checking out a few of my birdhouses...

Not sure if we will put the Purple Martin House up this year...

Residency has been on the decline...and a lot of work to install...

We will see...

My boyfriend took this shot of me...

I was a happy camper...

In my flipflops...

Sitting on the beach deck...

Doesn't get much better...

Oh..except...it could get a wee bit warmer! Hahahaha!

Hope you are all having a great day...

I was going to go out...but right now it is pouring rain and gusting very high winds...

Think I'll stay toasty and warm inside...

Curl up with some crochet...and a cup of tea..

I have 2 birthdays coming up...daughter and son...

Some of you might remember the longest afghan in the world???

Well...my son really likes it...they are his living room colours...so...I am going to get busy with that, and bring it to an end...and give it to him! I have already made his cat...Buddy...a cat bed, from the same colours...so, that will make a great gift for the man who has everything !

Grilled pork tenderloin medallions...
mashed potatoes...
gravy...
sauteed peppers...

How does that sound for dinner...on this cold damp windy rainy day in April!!

Hoping for better weather....soon!! 

Enjoy the rest of your day...

                    Cheers!   :o)

Friday....Noon 'til Five....

 It had been sunny and warm the whole drive on Friday....

When we reached the Lake...

We could not believe our eyes!!!

Pea Soup Fog!!!

And much chillier than we expected...

Oh well...

Made lunch...and then we got busy...raking!!!

Boyfriend got a new flag installed...

You can see how windy it was...

And foggy...

And lots of icebergs floating on the Lake...

Made for a rather chilly South breeze...

That big aluminum steps and handrails was still there...

It had floated in , in the Fall...

And stayed all winter...

One of our neightbours came over on Saturday...

And he and my boyfriend got it dismantled and moved...

It was soooo heavy!!

 

 As the afternoon progressed...

the sun melted some ice on the treetops...

which fell in huge drops onto our heads, while we worked...

my hair was soaked...

and kinda furry...

hahaha!

The fog started to lift around 5pm...

And the sun came out...

But...by then...we were cold and tired...

So we went inside around 6pm...
 

As we were eating dinner...

Around 7:30...

The sky turned shades of blue and pink...

Fantastic way to end the day...

Oh...

But of course...

A fire....♥️ 

Hope you are all having a great day...

Lots of rain here...and darn chilly!

We have Miss V for the afternoon...

She is sleeping right now...she already got a short walk in with her Papa, after lunch...between the periods of rain!!

We are having filet of sole, fried rice and fresh yellow beans for dinner...

Hope you all had a great weekend...

Saturday was gorgeous...but...one day at a time!! hahaha!

More later.....

Enjoy the rest of your day...

                               Cheers!    :o)
