Hello everyone!!!
What an April it has been...
Lots of crochet flowers...and butterflies...can't help myself!!!
Oh...and the Crowns...they were a big hit!!
Made one for Miss V...one for Miss N...one for my daughter Lissa...and one for my grandson due this month!!!
Miss N is so hard to get a clear shot of!!! Busy as a little bee...chatting up a storm...and just LOVES playing with her bug cousin...
And....Miss V feels the same way about her!!! She will make a great big sister!!!
Easter was a different kind of meal...
As you know...we have many different food choices going on here!
Celiac...vegetarian...Vegan...
So.....I made gluten free meat lasagna...and 2 pans of lazy cabbage rolls...which are also gluten free!!
I managed 2 desserts...both gluten free...the apple berry crisp was divine...and who can resist the key lime pie...
My daughters and DIL contributed to the meal...so everyone was happy!!
My daughter Lissa gifted me the sweet bird house and a Rae Dunn garden sign...
My daughter Erika brought me Gerbera Daisies and a lovely Hydrangea...
What a luck Mom I am...
I gave all the big girls a crochet washcloth and a lovely bar of face soap...
The wee gals got a basket of goodies...some clothes...and a Butterfly!!! Oh...and of course their Crowns! hahaha!!
Miss V had visited earlier in the week, and got busy baking up a delightful banana/blueberry loaf...and...she sure does love her Papa 💚
We had some tree work done at the cottage earlier in the week...and the ice is finally gone from the Lake...
I have so many more pics to share!!! I need to find more time for blogging...
Thanks to all of you who follow me over on Instagram...such a lovely bunch you all are...and I appreciate all your comments...really...💙
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So....May has arrived...bringing rain with it...and flooding to the Eastern part of this great country...my thoughts are with all the people in Ottawa and Quebec who are affected by Natures fury....
Lets hope May is kinder...and lets us spend some much needed garden time and leisure outside...
Oh...that painted wooden board??? A recent thrifty buy for 50cents...
Worth every penny............😉
See you all soon.....
Cheers! :o)

We have been having topsy-turvy weather here in Southern Ontario...
Miss Spring is trying her hardest to appear...but...
Mr Winter keeps getting in her way!!
Needless to say...lots of time spent inside!!!
What do you think of these crocheted Pansies that I made??
Pretty cute,eh?? Very fiddly pattern...but I persevered!!!
Miss V had a sleepover with us...and I put her to work on a few crafts...
(Looks like she is wearing her painting shirt!!!)
This wee birdhouse will be a bday gift for her Auntie Lissa...💙💚💛💜
It turned out spectacular...will show you in another post!!
We spent Earth Hour with Miss V...and woke to this dump of snow!!!!!
Needless to say...the Birds were just as surprised as we were!!!
The cottage is still looking like The Arctic!!!!
Not sure why there is still so much Lake Ice... odd for this time of year...
Will be awhile before our first sleepover! hahaha!!!
At least the Daffodils heard it was Spring...(Don't look at all the leaves...raking!!!)
Hope you are all well...and enjoying Spring Like temps where you live...
My boyfriend has gone to the cottage this am, to meet up with Andrew, to re-install our TV antennae, which blew down this winter!!!
Lake Erie had extremely high winds in February...100kms/hr!!!!
The Maple tree that was to be cut down, is still standing...the guy never showed up end of November to cut it down...can't get good help these days,eh!!!
Not sure if we will leave it for another Summer...I don't really want them in there clomping on all my spring plants with their big feet!!!! Sometimes I am amazed at how some people treat gardens...just clomping in and around...one of my very BIG pet peeves!!!! We had a new fence here at home last Fall...and the guys were terrible with my plants...I will wait and see what does or doesn't come up!!! How can people in the landscape business be so uncaring when it comes to peoples gardens????????
Ok...rant over...hahaha!!
****************
I will leave you with a pic of what is on my kitchen table right now....
Still trying to sort out an Easter crochet for my 2 wee gals...
Started a Star shaped pillow...scrapped that after the points didn't line up!
Taking it easy today...windy...rainy...damp...dark...
How about Meat Loaf and Mashed Taters for dinner!!!
See you soon...
Cheers! :o)

Hello Everyone!!!
Hope you are all well...and enjoying some Spring-like weather...
I have been very busy since getting home...
Miss V has been here twice...and we enjoyed every minute of her...
She is a Pear lover...so I always try to buy a few before she comes, and get them nice and ripe!!
We went to Miss V's last skating lesson for the season...she has improved greatly!! Good job!!!
We got to visit with Miss N...man she is a cutie...and walking and chattering!!!
I had stored my hanging Strawberry plant in the garage for the Winter...I was so pleased to see lovely green leaves on it last week!!! and I even forgot to water it once!!! hahaha!!
The cottage is in the melting stages...still ice on the beach...
Hopefully that will be gone ASAP!!!
Been baking and cooking and crocheting...keeping myself occupied!!!
Wanting to get out into the gardens...but too early yet...I bought myself a
potted Ranunculus...and she is blooming beautiful!!!
I am lovin' my Overnite Oats...so easy...and so delicious!!
Berries and Bananas and Yogurt top it off nicely!!
***************************
Hope you got thru all of the photos...I really need to post more often!
Not in any particular order either!!! Man oh man...am I getting lazy!!
See you all soon....
Cheers! :o)
