Sea Fog & A Change Of Colour.....

This is what the beach looks like, when there is Sea Fog.....

This is our second day under this fog....

Apparently there are some Royal Caribbean Cruise Ships stranded in Tampa Bay...

Unable to go into port!

A big power boat, just south of here....ran aground....with 4 people aboard...

Right into a bar on the beach!

Fortunately no one seriously injured....couldn't see thru the fog!,

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

These White potted Mums, were a gift between my birthday and Valentines Day....

They were pure white.....I had them inside for a while....thought it was time to go outside...

They have been out there for about a week....

This morning I noticed the lovely Lilac tinge they had on the edges....

How cool is that?

They are also covered in moisture, from the heavy sea fog....

Everything was soaking wet this morning....

This is the kind of weather that gives me "fur" hair!

Not a pretty sight....let me tell you!

Anyway....

I thought these pics turned out quite nice....

So....

I wanted to share with you....

Enjoy!

We went out shopping this afternoon....

I got 2 purchases at a Hollister store....they are very pricey at home....quite pleased!

We went out for an early dinner...

Boyfriend had raw oysters on the 1/2 shell....

I had wings....with VERY hot sauce!

Things we don't eat very often.....

Back at the cottage relaxing....no sunset again....and the next few days are kinda dismal....

Perhaps a movie tomorrow afternoon....

Hope you all had a great day....

Enjoy your evening....

                  Cheers!   :o)

Sunny Glow & Moon Shots.....

I sure hope you aren't getting tired of sunset shots!

The last few, have been spectacular!

This shot shows the Moon coming out at around 6 pm.....

About 1/2 hour before the Sunset....

What a fantastic sight!

This picture is from last Friday night....when Venus was right beside the moon!

I have seen a few shots that other people got....

Thought I better get it posted!

These are from the last few nights...

Should be full soon....eh Betsy?

Today was a washout....sea fog all day...

We went for a walk.....very humid and misty....no sun at all...

I guess no Sunset either!

This was my burger last night.....looks good,eh? {Next picture down.....damn you IPad!!}

Boyfriend has steak sauce and pickles on his!

The fries are frozen Oreida zesties.....delish! Can't get these in Canada!

How do you like your burgers dressed?

                                                          ~~~~~~~~~~~

Hope you all had a great day...

Looks like the North East is still grappling with old man winter!

We are in for some soggy weather towards the end of the week....

Boyfriend holding his own....thanks for all your wishes♥️

Lunch on Thursday with some dear friends...looking forward to that!

Enjoy your evening....

Thinking Spring?

              Cheers!   :o)

Beach Bits & Bobs......

I have been absent....not by choice...nothing really to say....

The sinuses have cleared....that is a good thing....for sure

Unfortunately, now....

My boyfriend is experiencing a few of the symptons...sore throat....headache....

Geesh....

Hope his isn't as annoying as mine was....

It will take him a few days to feel better....

On a brighter note...

The weather the last few days has been glorious....

Lots of beach time....

Today, Sunday, there are tons of people here...

During the weekdays, a wee bit more solitary....

Boyfriend thought it would be sooooo funny to take a shot of me...

Sprawled out on the couch....

This was when I was feeling very fatigued...

Thankfully that has passed....

I kind of blend into the surroundings,eh? Hahaha!

Sorry.....this beach bagpiper picture went in twice on my IPad....

For the life of me, I don't know how to delete it, other than start all over again....

After writing all the script....too darn lazy to start again! Tee hee hee!

This was on one of the cooler days....

Hope fully they are behind us now....

Hope you all had a great day...

And coping with the cold cold temps and tons of snow....

I truly am grateful to be here....glad I am feeling better....:o)

Enjoy the rest of your day....

Watching the Oscars or Downton Abbey?

We found Downton on another night here...so we have been catching up....

                 Cheers!   :o)

Wednesday Sunset.....

Took these Sunset shots from the porch at the beach cottage...

We are sheltered there from the brisk winds....

The temp at 6:10 pm was 11 degrees...

Not sure what the wind chill was....

Thursday promises to be even colder...

Hoping for another gorgeous Sunset...

Just gonna have dinner...

Roasted ribs, crispy roasted potatoes and carrots and onions....

Too damn lazy to make a salad tonight.....

Perhaps tomorrow...

La.....tee....dah....

Hope you all had a great day....

Enjoy your evening...

Stay toasty.....as my friend Deb would say....♥️

             Cheers!  :o)

From The Porch.....

It has been raining for most of the day....

Spent some time trying to start a crochet project...

Just can't seem to concentrate....

Stepped out onto the covered porch here.....about 20 minutes ago...

Still raining....

Though...

You can't see it in the pictures....

We had planned on going out for something to eat...

But...

Decided against it!

Too darn wet....and soggy....and getting colder...

They say we are to get the coldest temps here...

In over a year....

Bring it on!

I brought lots of sweaters!

Unfortunately....the rain continues....

Tomorrow.....

I took some sirloin burgers out of the freezer...

Fries for the oven...

Lots of toppings to dress them up...

I made a big pot of chicken soup this morning...

We both had a few mugs of that....delish!

I know that you guys are buried under tons of snow....

Suffering through sub zero temps....

But...

We did drive for 4 days....spent $...is it too much to ask....

For a bunch of warm sunny days in a row?

I think not......hahaha!

Plus....the CDN $ stinks right now....

Ok...

I am done....

Enjoy my rainy day pics...

Hope you had a great day...

Anything exciting?

What's cookin' in your kitchen this Tuesday evening?

Thanks for all your lovely birthday, Valentine and Family Day wishes...

Muchly appreciated by yours truly ♥️

Enjoy your evening...

            Cheers!  :o)
