Oh what fun we had after our first real snowfall!
We all got dressed up warm...
Grabbed our shovels...
And...
Dug in!!
I think it was very appropriate that my crochet was worn by all...
Even if...
Miss V's crazy pom pom hat is on backwards!
Hahaha!
Man...she loves to help...with any chore...anywhere!
Boyfriend purposely left the snow...
So she could help clear the drive!
Off we go thru the park..."Walk in my footprints Nana"...
"Okey dokey Miss V♥️"
"One slide and we have to go home"..."okay?"
"Ok Nana"...
Man...it was COLD...windchill -17c...brrrr!
Just look at that wintry sky!!
On our way back home...
Miss V decided to go up one of the small slopes that surround the park...
The snow was much deeper there...as there had been blustery winds the night before...
She went up...and then down...
On her way down...
She got in over her knees...
Fell...
And...
Ended up with a snow face!!!
I happened to capture the event, as I was taking a photo of the sky!!
She was such a good sport!!
Laughing...and laughing...♥️
Look at that Snow face!!
All dry by the time we got back home...
You can see the "booboo" on her nose here...
A small accident at school...:o(
A wee bit off topic here...
On one of our afternoon walks this week...
On garbage day...
This was out for the trash!!!
Perfect condition!!!
I dragged it home!!
What a great chair!!!
A bit of spray paint...
A pretty cushion...
Awesome!!
Just have to decide whether to keep it here at home...
Or...
Take it to the Lake!
Decisions...
Decisions...
I am just lovin' this scarf I made! I showed you all last week...but I had to bundle up with it for our Park trip!!
And...yes...I did wear a coat this time! hahaha!!
Just on our way our the door..
Friday trip to the cottage!
Wonder how much snow is out there???
Have a great day and weekend, if I don't see you!
Mussels tonight for the boyfriend...
Small pizza for moi!!
Greek Salad for both!!
Cheers! :o)

Yes...it is true...he has arrived in Southern Ontario...
As seen through my windows as he arrived!!
Actually got outside today...
Enjoyed his arrival with Miss V...
Don't kids just love the Winter?!
I will share a few photos of the fun soon...
Have a wonderful evening...
Cheers! :o)

Isn't receiving fresh flowers one of the nicest things in life?
The joy of preparing them for their different vases...
Which...took some choosing...
Trimming off the bottom leaves...
Giving them a good cut...with proper tools...
Peeling off the outer petals, that may be a bit tired...
Placing in your rooms...stepping back...admiring...
Ahhhhhhh...that looks better...
The Flower Lady gave me enough Roses...
To place some on the Dining table...
In my sweet rabbit Vase that my brother Tom gave me before he died...
I have shared it with you many times...
And...whenever I have flowers...
One or two blooms, always make it into that vase♥️
Into our Family Room...on the wee table beside the fireplace...
Where we can enjoy them in the evening...
And...last..but not least....in the Living room...
Which..is finally back to normal...well a few weeks now actually...
But...with none of the Christmas decor left behind...
I gathered my Snowmen...Elves...Santas...and Mice...
And tucked them all away until next time...
I love when they are out...
But also love when they go back into hiding... tee hee hee!
And...for sure...I love when all this mess is cleaned up for another year!!
There was snow when I got up this morning...
And...it continued to snow all . day . long!
Not too many pics today...a few thru the windows...
But tomorrow...
I hope to be knee deep...with our Miss V!
She will have that shovel in overdrive...and...perhaps...
We can...make a SNOWMAN!!
Maybe...have to check the snow out first...may not be packing snow...
But...
WE WILL SEE!!
By the way...
RED has been snacking on the pumpkin seeds all week...
He would grab a mouthful...and run like mad...to...?
Crazy little guy!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hope that you all had a great day...
Did you also get snow??
Ours is still falling out there...and blowing around...
Perhaps some big drifts in the morning...
Enjoy your evening...
Cheers! :o)

For any of you who have been reading my blog for any length of time...
Know...
And understand...
How much this place means to me and my family...
It is such a feeling when you pull in...
Sometimes I totally get overcome by the feelings...
When you step out of the car...
You never know what sights will greet you...
As long as we take drives down there...
I will share the beauty with you...
Whether you like it or not! hahaha!
Come and join me for this particular visit...
There was a hazy sun...trying so hard to shine...
Not too cold...not much wind...
It actually felt colder INSIDE than outside!
So glad we got the water closed when we did...
Frozen plumbing is not funny.....AT ALL!
There is still no snow...
Just a wee bit of ice on the rocks on the beach...
Beautiful!
Love that little sliver of pink sky in the West...
It certainly must have been snowing across the Lake...
Very dark clouds over there...
Here is me...
Sporting my nice long scarf I made myself last year...
I love wearing scarves...
When we drive...I don't wear a coat...
I have several big chunky sweaters that I wear...
Paired usually with leggings...
But this day had me in black jeans...black chunky turtleneck...black strappy shoes...striped socks..(of course)...
Velvety leopard gloves...
And...my big cream crocheted scarf...
How is that for a look???
Just kidding...I do know of a blog, where the gal always feature her thrifty buys and models them...
These are not thrifty buys...but...we did score a few cool things...working on that post...have not done one of those for a while...
Here is the view as we drove along the lake...gorgeous!!
That Friday night...we decided to make our own Pizzas!!
I sauteed some mushrooms, red peppers and onions...
Mine consists of sliced tomato...sauteed veggies...olives and goats cheese...
Boyfriend made 2!!
One with smoked salmon...olives...veggies...
The other with some left over Ham cubes...
Both got sprinkled with Parmesan cheese....
And some slivered fresh Basil...
Cooked them on our Pizza stone...
YUMMY!!
Hope you are all having a great day...
Very cold here...but mostly a sunny day...
We got out for a very brisk walk...
I will leave you with a picture from last January 2015..at the cottage...
A bit more snow...and the beach was covered in ice...lake frozen...
Quite a difference, eh??
I guess this is coming...sooner or later!
Many thanks for all of your lovely comments...
It certainly makes this blogging thing worthwhile...
Glad to have you all along for the ride...
Next Friday....drive to the cottage OK??? You in??? hahaha!
Enjoy your evening...
Cheers! :o)

Miss V has always loved Ice Cream Sandwiches...
Since she was really little...
Well...honestly...who can blame her?
We had a lovely day with her last Wednesday...
And we looked after her today, while her Mom went to a Flower Show in Toronto...
We played in the basement for a while...
Which got me motivated to start editing down there...
I actually filled 3 boxes to donate...and dusted!
When my kids were young, we spent a lot of time down there...
Especially at Christmas...we would have a full house Christmas Eve...
For years and years it was a tradition...
And...the boyfriend and I had many fun parties down there...
Valentines...Birthdays...New Years...always lots to eat & drink...
And lots of dancing...
Those were the good old days...
We had fun with her down there this morning...
Remembering celebrations...guests...fun times...♥️
I think when we bring her Princess Kitchen home from the cottage...
We will put it in the basement...along with some of our own childrens things...
She still loves to ride the wooden rocking horse that was made for my eldest daughter...
Off track or what, eh?? hahaha!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wanted to show you all the yarn I purchased for a project while I am away...
I will crochet my daughter...for her birthday...a "beachy" afghan...
The colours did not photograph well...
I have 3 colours...silver blue...silver grey...linen...
Wanted to do something with a Granny Square...
So.....I searched PINTEREST...
I came across this image...
No pattern...but looks easy enough...
Large Multi-coloured Granny Square...
Plain Granny Square...
Is that the way you other crocheters see it?
Or is the one square just crochet...
Not a Granny Square??
Any feedback is welcomed...
I do believe it will be very pretty...
Will keep me busy at nights!!
Hope you all had a great weekend...
We got out to the cottage on Friday...
Breezy, but not too cold...
Everything looked beautiful!!
Had a few Chickadees scurrying around, but could not get a shot of them...too quick!!
The weather here is turning rather nasty this evening...
Very gusty winds...snow flurries...temps dropping by 15 degrees overnite!
Should be a hideous commute in the morning...
Think we'll have a fire tonight...snuggle under one of my afghans!!
Enjoy the rest of your day...and the week ahead...
Cheers! :o)
