"Who is that white guy in the front?"









          Hope you all had a great day...

                 A chilly...windy...overcast day here....

             Think we will have some meat loaf,roasted yams and corn on the cob for dinner...

                        All on a cool late summers day...

Hydrangea...Phlox & Tiny Bird Houses.....


 The Hydrangea in my back yard at home, is a Limelight...

 Starts out small and lime green...

Gradually gets larger and turns a lovely soft green...



 The Hydrangea at the cottage...

 Is a standard pee gee white...

 Starts out pale green...and gradually turns white...



see the daddy-long-legs!







I have a nice clump of white Phlox...

Gets bigger every year...

 Best photographed late in the afternoon...

And after a rain! 








Check out these sweet tiny birdhouses my daughter Lissa painted for me♥️

Have to find the perfect spot...

I almost want to keep them for inside the cottage!! 






Hope you all had a great day...

Another kinda muggy one here...very breezy...can feel the cold front moving in now...

Temps high tomorrow , only 19*c....way below seasonal...

shed at the end of the day...with my gorgeous Hydrangea bush...

      This was the moon on Friday night at the cottage...

              We were lucky enough to enjoy a firepit after dinner...

                      And get absorbed by the MOON.....

                                Isn't that just GLORIOUS??



         Hope you all had a great day...

           I had a busy one...for sure...

             Washed the slipcovers for the couch...went shopping with my boyfriend...

              Got some lovely fresh Cod for dinner....garden fresh  yellow beans...

                 Cod is soaking in...you guessed it...buttermilk!!

                   We also scored some new seat cushions for our Muskoka chairs at the cottage...

                        6 brand spankin' new ones for next year...waterproof fabric!!

                           Very excited about that!!

                              Also got the boyfriend a new leather recliner for the family room...

                                Very luxurious...creamy leather...nice!!
