It's raining...
It's pouring...
My garden is happy...
and...
So is this wee guy ♥️
Took all of these thru the window...
Hope it rains all day...
Sheets changed and washed...
White load done and folded...
Cottage laundry done and ready to go back...
I have a pork tenderloin for dinner...
Not sure whether to slice and grill like medallions...or go for the oven, and roast it whole??
Ahh....decisions...decisions....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hope you all had a great weekend...
Ours was verrrryyyy relaxing at the cottage...
Finished up another crochet project...boyfriend finished his latest read...
The most noise we heard, was from the sprinkler...watering...
Everything was as dry as a stick...lots of cleaning up to do... :/
Not my favorite of garden chores....to say the least...
Next weekend will come soon enough for that job...YUCK!!

This is me on the Friday of last weekend...
The scary clouds were nowhere to be seen that day...
It was still pretty rough and windy, so we sat near the back of the beach deck in the late day shade...
On the Sunday...when all the kids came...it was terribly windy...
Could not put the big umbrellas up...so we found a sheltered spot on the west of the property...and stuck up a few smaller umbrellas for some much needed shade...
I brought out a blanket and a few of Miss V's things for her to play with...
Aunt Lissa did some colouring!!! Who doesn't love a brand new colouring book with fresh crayons??
Miss V was more interested in Uncle Ryan...and her latest thing...climbing up him!!! He lets her do anything and never complains♥️
There was also a birthday to celebrate! Anna...my sons girlfriend...was 33! This was one of my gifts to her! The apron says..."Will Cook For Bling"...
She has been working very hard at cooking, as they are both vegans...and she is also gluten free, for her own health...hopefully Ryan will take the hint, and get her some "Bling"...
Happy Birthday Anna♥️
We had a potluck dinner...with everyone pitching in...everything was delicious!!
Hope you are all having a great day...
Kinda cloudy here...and windy...
Hope to get off to the cottage in the morning...
Gonna have some Grilled Salmon...grilled taters..yellow and green beans...
and...I think also some tomatoes and goats cheese...
Enjoy your evening...
Cheers! :o)

Saturday afternoon and evening on the beach deck, was...to say the least...a surreal experience!
To the East and to the West, the clouds were ever changing...
The East had lighter fluffier clouds, with the sun and Moon lighting them up...
To the West, looked like a tornado was coming...which apparently there was a Tornado warning out for our area!!!
Soon...they all drifted past, across the Lake, and the sunset was awesome between the clouds...
What a day me and the boyfriend had!!!
Bank appt at 11...then off to get new IPhones for each of us!!
Before that we had a delicious lunch...burger for moi...at Turtle jacks...
Then...off to get the phones!!
We started at 1pm...at 2:30 we had to leave as we were picking up Miss V for a sleepover...back to finish up with the phones...
Finally finished and home by 4:45!!
Pooped to say the least...
Now...to set them up!! hahaha!
Miss V is all bathed and in her Minnie Mouse jammies♥️
Time to settle down...read a few stories...and go to bed!!
I have some pics of Sunday at the cottage, when all the kids came out!
Hopefully I will get to that tomorrow...
Hope you all had a great day...
I will leave you with another pretty!!
Cheers! :o)

Boyfriend had first swim of the year!! The water has finally warmed up...but is sooo deep this year!! The waves were like the ocean this past weekend...so darn windy!! And the clouds!!! well...I will show you those another day!!
Always love the sunporch, when the afternoon sun streams in...
All ready for us to enjoy our dinner out there!!
My tomatoe plants are bursting!!! Picked a few, and they were sweet and delicious...
The yellow flower below, is my butternut squash...hope I get a few!!
Picked a Zuchinni, Cucumber and the tomatoes to eat...
Nothing like it!!
This wee guy kept me company while I was doing the dishes....

This post was already to go last Friday morning....
Unfortunately...we had no cable or internet!!!
Imagine that!!! hahaha!
So....
Here we go...a few days late...forgive me??
I knew you would...
Well here we are...on the last day of July...already!!
Why does the Winter drag on for so long...but the Summer flies by??
Seems like yesterday, we were opening the cottage for the Season...
Great plans for all that we would accomplish this Summer...
Dreams are wonderful...what would we do with out them, eh??
Another year goes by, since my brother Tom passed away...
Hardly seems possible that it is 18 years already...
Gosh...a lifetime for some...
You may remember last year I posted a few pics of him...
And the Sunflower that Red was kind enough to plant in a wall planter for me...
Well...You won't believe it...but there is another one this year...
It won't flower today.... like last year...but none the less it is there♥️
Here she is!!!
Delighted to be in her new Minnie Mouse jammies!!
And the next morning...off to school...
Hope you all had a great weekend...
A long one here for us in Canada...
The weather was...shall we say...unpredictable at the least!!
Had all my kids out yesterday...for the afternoon and a delicious dinner...
Took lots of pics...so will share soon...
Enjoy the rest of your day...
Grilled Lambchops...wild rice...greek salad for us tonight...yum!!
Cheers! :o)
