Still darn windy...
SO glad to see my Cardinal back again...
I see Red is munching on the pumpkin seeds, from my last Halloween pumpkin!!!

I heard the Finches when we were out for our walk...
A few tulips poking thru...
Under the kitchen window...
Where there is lots of sun...
Daffodils as well..
Last year...at this time....they were blooming!!
And...
My Yucca still 1/2 covered in snow...
Anything new in your gardens????
Any new green shoots????
Any feathered friends sightings???
Hope you all had a great day....

You may remember...
Last week I did a post of the cottage last year, on March 22...
Well....
Here is what it looked like this year!!!
Same date...
Very different...
No flip-flops this year!!!
One of my grasses greeted us by the kitchen porch...
A Hydrangea flower head...with a wee bit of snow on it...
My boyfriend has to sweep the snow before opening the kitchen door...
Can't believe the bonfire is still there....
The waves seemed to go all around it....flattened out the beach a lot...
My Yucca is lovely and green..and has little "hairs" on it..
That means it will flower this year...
Found a sole from a shoe on the beach!!! Odd?!
The sea wall and rocks are all covered in thick ice...
This will take a while to melt...:o(
Chunks of ice floating in the waves...
Not a speck of sunshine that day...
Even my log guy looked cold!!!
Lots of debris pushed up by the waves...
If it is still there next time...
We will just add it to the bonfire...
When I went inside....
The thermometer on the wall said it all!!!
BRRRRRRRR!!!!!
If it warms up this week...we are going to try a sleepover on Saturday, as I will be having the turkey dinner here at home, with all the kids... on Friday...
Wish us luck!!!
Took this shot from my upstairs bedroom...
Come on Summer...
Never mind Spring!!!
Hope you all had a great weekend....chilly here...bit of sun...
We went for a nice walk down at Lake Ontario again...
Did you do anything special this weekend?....
Thanks for all your nice comments on my latest crochet project...
It means a lot to me...:o)
On the menu tonight..
Meat Loaf....roasted potatoes and carrots...yellow beans
Perhaps some brown gravy....tomatoes and avacadoes...
Nice cosy meal!!
Cheers! :o)

I have finished my latest crochet project...
Hexagon Granny Square sweater....for...
Who else?
Vivian. of course!!!
I finally used some of the wool I bought in Florida...
The blue/pink/green mixey one and the cream for the body....
Pretty easy to do...works up quickly...
Now....for the hat...A figment of my own imagination!!!!
What do you think???? [is the hat tooooo silly?]
The sweater is 2 pieces, that you fold, and sew together...
I added the collar.....thought it kind of finished it off, nicely...
The model likes it!!!!
Still a bit big for her...
But if this cold weather hangs on...
It will fit her shortly!!!
Hope you are all having a great weekend so far...
Sunny today...but with a cold wind...
On the menu tonight...
Oven braised spare ribs, with a wet sweet sauce...
Baked sweet potato....mixed veggies...
Carrots and broccolli/cauliflower florets...
Perhaps a salad...not sure yet!!!
Enjoy the rest of your day....Vivian is visiting!!
Cheers! :o)
