Putting the finishing touches on packing! hahaha!! 

Hope you are all well...

I will be back with a Bits & Bobs post before we hit the road....

The Drive Started Out Sunny....

When we left for our cottage visit, this past Monday morning...the Sun was out in all its glory! A very welcome sight, after weeks without sun.

My Miscanthus at home, was looking beautiful in the morning sunshine.
I do love this perennial grass...looks beautiful all Winter long.

 

Most of the drive was sunny...but as we got closer and closer to our destination, a thick cloud moved in...

 

The beach at the cottage this week, had a very different look...

The piles of ice were gone, and just a few icy patches along the water line...

Very calm...no wind...lovely and quiet...calm...serene.

 

The week before...I had found this piece of white beach glass, and quite a few pieces of beach pottery...

This visit, I found a white piece of beach pottery...almost like part of a neck of a vase or a pot...I always enjoy hunting on the beach for different things...

I put the beach pottery in the gardens around the beach deck...adds a nice dimension to things...

 

As we were leaving...I found the sun once again...

As I write this...Miss V has just gone to bed ♥️

We had picked her up from school today, as tomorrow is a PD day, and we are going to take her for a drive to the cottage, and out for lunch...

We baked cupcakes...had a bath...then she whipped her Papa's butt at "Old Maid"...such fun!!


     Hope you are all well....

        Colder weather moving in, but we are still relatively snow free here...

                 Have a wonderful evening...and a great weekend....


                          Cheers!   :o)

This Past Sunday....& Some Crochet.....

We had visitors on Sunday...

She and her Papa went for a nice Wintry walk...and then showed up in the backyard to put some seed out for the birds ♥️

Loving the toque and cowl I crocheted her...

Looks like knitting! Such a great stitch...

She looks good in anything!!

After their walk...

It was time for a few crafts...

She sure does love writing and colouring and gluing sparkly things...✨✨✨

This wee note...in a new wee notebook that I bought for her...had the sweetest picture and words...

That is a picture of her and me 💓💓💓

And a note that says it all!!

This nearly broke my heart...

She is such a blessing...😇






The blanket below was finished last week...on the left is the desired length, before the border...I went a wee bit crazy, and added a few rows of BLUE to the mix, and finished with 1 dark row. I LOVE IT!!!! Now...I just need to make some BLUE  tassels, and it will be ready for snuggling!!

Hope you are all well...

   Thanks for all your nice comments on my IPAD post...

     Every year around this time, I need to refresh myself on the ins and out of blogging on the IPAD...this time was a bit easier...still cannot figure out how to place the photos or text...oh well...I still have time to work on that.

     A few flurries today...nothing much...sun has disappeared again...cold weather coming...oh well...this is the last day of January, after all!!

     Always seems like it flies by...looking forward to my vacation...

        And to Spring when I return...not asking too much,eh??

              Enjoy your evening...

                     Cheers!  :o)

Monday Drive...And...A Trial Run...✨

Evening all...

As I will be posting from my IPad soon....🌞....

I thought I should take a run at it!

I am also using a new photo editor on my IPad....

Still getting used to that as well...

Let's get started shall we?

  It was such a beautiful sunny drive all the way to the cottage....

  We always pass this lovely Horse farm, and today my boyfriend pulled over for me to get a few photos! There are small ponies there too....but....they are so small, you can hardly see them because of the fence! They are the same height! So cute...we must take Miss V this way next trip!

There was fresh snow...not very much...just enough to see the rabbit tracks everywhere!

Unfortunately...as we arrived...the sun decided to hide behind some clouds...:o(

I will share more photos this week....

Let me just say...there was no wind! It was a miracle! Very quiet and peaceful....

Still having trouble placing the photos...and the text...bear with me...ok?

Hope you are all well...

Have a great week everyone...

             Cheers!  :o)

Dream A Little Dream WIth Me............

Couldn't resist posting a few summery cheery pictures from the cottage...

And...just look at that tiny Miss V...asleep in Nana and Papas cottage bed...♥️♥️♥️

This just might be my theme for the next wee while! 

Flowers...

Sunsets...

Bonfires...

Birds...
 

                                  Can I hear an AMEN? hahaha!

                                       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  

No sun here again today...crummy damp wind...total YUCK!!

Hope you are all well...

I even switched out my header...to something more calming and soothing...

                   AHHHHHHHHH...... 

         Enjoy the photos...

                 Cheers!  :o)

And The Dreariness Continues.....

I cannot remember a drearier January than this!

The sun has not shone in a very long time!! ...and the dark,damp dreariness is really getting to everybody!!

I looked thru my archives, at previous dates in January...

And I came up with these few to share today...

Is it damp and dreary where you live???

The rain was non-stop last week...and I believe we are in for more this week! Even though the temps are way above normal, the lack of Sunshine is taking its toll!!

This wee gal...last year at this time...can certainly cheer anybody up!!

💗💗💗






















Hope you are all well...and coping with whatever old man winter is throwing your way!

Lots of crazy weather across North America...and even across the Pond!! 

Enjoy your week...

              Cheers!  :o)
