Holiday Monday

What a beautiful week-end

and thankfully

it is not over yet

see that sky ~ this was Saturday

we were heading down to the cottage and I said to Trev

when I say pull over ~ just do it

don't ask why

so he said ~ why??

he IS a good boy you know

every Spring I see this tree

and every year I want to pull over to take a picture

this year I made it happen

not sure if it is 2 trees growing into one

or a hybrid

all I know is that it is pretty cool looking

too bad for the houses and wiring and stuff

would likely look nice framed.

So as I was saying

Saturday was cottage day

not a day to wander around with my camera

but a day for cleaning

and boy did we clean

by the end of it all we were exhausted

of course Mom pooped out before I did

rightly so

I really could have slept standing up

 

and poor little Molly got bit by blackflies

her left eye was swollen

along with her lady parts

luckily everything was back to normal Sunday morning

one thing I did take time for was a trip up to the farm

you see it was a requirement as I wanted some rhubarb

so I got lots ~ enough to put some in the freezer too

rhubarb + strawberries = yummy

you can't go wrong with that combo in my opinion

the raspberry bushes are coming along

it won't be long now...

Sunday was a day to get some things done

but at a slower pace

no deadlines or expectations

I took Mom to the garden center

and bought her a couple of hanging baskets

as that was her Mother's Day gift

then after some errands I picked up Cathy

and we headed to another garden center

I bought a couple of baskets for myself 

and some pansies to plant ~ love those little faces!

I have not yet made my list of what I need to get

for all my containers but hope to have it done up

this week so I can go and dig in the dirt

the bestneighborsever came over for a bbq

and after dinner we had some unexpected visitors

Mr & Mrs. Duck stopped by to say hi

and to see if there were any leftovers

sorry kids ~ better luck next time

we giggled as we have seen lots of ducks around the neighborhood before

but these are getting so tame and just wander around

they are a cute couple.

Today I am doing nothing

well I will be preparing food

and reading

and sitting in my lounger

but other than that

nothing ~ nada ~ zip

Happy Victoria Day

to all my Canadian peeps!
