Hope you all had a great weekend, and are surviving the heat!

No rain yet...everything shrivelling!!

Managed to get a few good pics of these at the cottage...

We were only there for one night, as we had a family thing on Saturday...

It was very nice, and had a nice time!

The sunset on Thursday night at the cottage was unbelievable...

My boyfriend and I went for a swim right while this was happening...

Breathtaking,eh?

How lucky are we........♥️ 

My boyfriend is away on business for a few days...

I have a few projects lined up...bought all new fresh towels and a new carpet for his bathroom...won't that be a nice surprise! A lovely clean bathroom to come home to!  I have started another crochet project...a cardigan for Miss V...purchased the pattern on ETSY from The Velvet Acorn...she has wonderful patterns, and I also follow her on Instagram...check out her patterns!!
And...I bought some butterscotch ice cream and sauce to keep me company tonight! hahaha! Having dinner with my SIL Sharron tomorrow, and a visit from my friend Pat on Wednesday...along with Miss V of course ♥️ We did some fancy painting last week...she is so talented! 

Enjoy your evening...

        Cheers!  :o)

You Gotta Love White Perennials........♥️

This post was already to go last Friday morning....
Unfortunately...we had no cable or internet!!!
Imagine that!!! hahaha!
So....
Here we go...a few days late...forgive me??
I knew you would...

Well here we are...on the last day of July...already!!
Why does the Winter drag on for so long...but the Summer flies by??
Seems like yesterday, we were opening the cottage for the Season...
Great plans for all that we would accomplish this Summer...
Dreams are wonderful...what would we do with out them, eh??

Another year goes by, since my brother Tom passed away...
Hardly seems possible that it is 18 years already... 
Gosh...a lifetime for some...
You may remember last year I posted a few pics of him...
And the Sunflower that Red was kind enough to plant in a wall planter for me...
Well...You won't believe it...but there is another one this year... 
It won't flower today.... like last year...but none the less it is there♥️ 

Here she is!!!
Delighted to be in her new Minnie Mouse jammies!!
And the next morning...off to school...

Hope you all had a great weekend...
A long one here for us in Canada...
The weather was...shall we say...unpredictable at the least!!
Had all my kids out yesterday...for the afternoon and a delicious dinner...
Took lots of pics...so will share soon...

Enjoy the rest of your day...

Grilled Lambchops...wild rice...greek salad for us tonight...yum!!

               Cheers!  :o)

Hydrangea...Phlox & Tiny Bird Houses.....

 The Hydrangea in my back yard at home, is a Limelight...

 Starts out small and lime green...

Gradually gets larger and turns a lovely soft green...

 The Hydrangea at the cottage...

 Is a standard pee gee white...

 Starts out pale green...and gradually turns white...

see the daddy-long-legs!

I have a nice clump of white Phlox...

Gets bigger every year...

 Best photographed late in the afternoon...

And after a rain! 

Check out these sweet tiny birdhouses my daughter Lissa painted for me♥️

Have to find the perfect spot...

I almost want to keep them for inside the cottage!! 






Hope you all had a great day...

Another kinda muggy one here...very breezy...can feel the cold front moving in now...

Temps high tomorrow , only 19*c....way below seasonal...

Supposed to warm up on the weekend...


                 Enjoy your evening...

                    Got my hair cut this morning...always too short...but...it will grow!

                       What kind of mischief did you get into today??

                         Do tell..........


                       Cheers! :o)

Front Garden...Small... But Lush...

  Took these photos last week...
  Wednesday, in fact...
  My front garden is all perennials...
          No grass to cut...
  Only perennials to admire...
  After my tour..
           I needed...
                 A...
                    Butter tart...
  To soothe my soul...
  And cover it in sugary goodness...
  The Moon is from Wednesday...
  Weekend was cloudy at night...
  Hope you all saw it!
             Enjoy your week...


                 Cheers!  :o)
