We had Miss V visiting yesterday... ♥️
After her nap...her and I took a dip in the pool!!
She was fantastic...even let go of me, and floated by herself!!
Great progress...too bad swimming season is drawing to an end...
Have a great weekend...
Leaving shortly for the cottage...looks like some rain in the forecast...
And...MUCH cooler temps...
Again...thanks so much for all your lovely comments...

ps...if you missed yesterdays post...check it out!!
Miss V in the lake!!
My boyfriend and I went to the cottage on Thursday afternoon...
Man oh man...was it hot!!
At least the breeze from the Lake kept us comfortable...
And we found shady spots to sit...
On Saturday the kids came out!!
Minus my daughter Lissa and husband Jeff...:o(
They were getting a new Puppy...Freckles...a Cockapoo, that day...
So...they did not come out...
It turned into a gorgeous day...hot...but the Lake was very inviting...
Miss V had not been in the Lake yet..as it was always rough...
But this day...proved to be the best day...even a small patch of sand!!
There were lots of stones near the shore...so Papa helped her out...
She wanted him to carry her...so he obliged!
Her Mommy got her suit on...
And I also joined in...
She loved laying on the surfboard!!
My son took these 3 pictures...
Shows all of us out in the water...
She did not want to come out!!
A few cheesies and a cold drink hit the spot...
And a bit of coloring in the shade...
And watering the flowers and filling the birdbath!!
Dinner was on the sunporch...
Chili...fresh crusty bread and Ceasar Salad...
Pralines and Cream Ice Cream for dessert!
The sunset was glorious!!
And a few fireworks from the neighbours!!
Perfect ending to a perfect day!!
Hope you all had a great long weekend...
Still darn hot here...had a downpour for about 10 minutes this afternoon...
Heat is expected for a few more days...geesh!!
Boyfriend is away on business...
I spent a lot of time at Michaels and Marshalls this morning!!
Been putzing around the house...
And I have 2 banana blackberry loaves in the oven...
With a new crumble on top...
Having a friend for lunch tomorrow...have not seen her in a while!
Hoping for some good gossip!! hahaha!
Enjoy your evening...
Cheers! :o)

Hope you are all having a great day...
We are sweating here...so darn humid...
Leaving for the cottage very soon...
Perhaps a late afternoon swim!!
Off to visit our feathered friends!! hahaha!
Have a great long weekend...enjoy...don't eat too much!!
We will have family out on Saturday...
Veggie chili already made...
Hope there is a sandy beach for Miss V to play on...♥️
See you all at the other end...
Cheers! :o)

As soon as I came down this morning...
I noticed the Moon, out my kitchen window...
Out I ran, to get a shot of it...
How fabulous is that!!
When I turned around...
I spied one of my Limelight Hydrangeas...
How glorious she looked in the early morning...
After my breakfast...
And Coronation Street...
I went up to streak my hair...
I found this product a few months ago...
I like the really white blonde it gives me...
My hairdresser...who is also my back neighbour...told me to add corn starch to thicken it...then I just apply with my gloved fingers...hi-lites where you want them!!
And not too pricey..at $10!
While waiting for my hair to do "it's thing"...
I sat at the computer...
When I stared out the window...
I saw this!!
A vine climbing up one of our trees, has already turned red!!
Imagine that!!
On this...the first day of September...
After showering and getting myself together...
I ventured down to Winners to return a lamp I had bought a few weeks ago...
I did get a b'day present for someone, and a lovely grey sweater for myself!!
Tee hee hee!!
Then...
It was on to the Greenhouse, to get a few plants for the front and back...
I had only bought 2 planters this year...and they were...to say the least...looking pretty darn sad!!
So...
I picked up a few Fountain Grasses...and some Mums...and a big planter with both in them...
I think the colour will be fabulous...but I am not done yet...the weeks will bring lots of Fall colour to my garden!!
After all of that was squared away...
I was sweating!!
Gosh...it is oppressive out there!!! Really humid and hot!!
I got my toes painted!
Isn't this a great colour!!
Then...
It was time to make a cup of tea..
My daughter Lissa gave me this box of tea, at her BBQ...
Very delicious indeed....Thanks Doll♥️
So...
This is how my first day of September has gone so far...
What have you been up to??
Hot where you are???
My son is coming over, and boyfriend and I are going to treat him to dinner out!
Sounds like a perfect plan to me!!
Cooks night off! I like it!!
Hope you are having a great day....
Enjoy the rest of it...
Happy September my friends!!
Cheers! :o)
