tea for two

My sister is coming for a visit in August. Maybe I can convince her to have some afternoon tea with me on the deck. (no bees allowed)

Can you canoe?

This is the cutest little condiment dish I found at the Farmhouse Giftshop at the Metroparks.

Froggies

Found this guy on the side of the road, just had to stop and snap his picture.

sittin' by the dock on the bay

It was a nice evening to relax and catch some fish.

mistakes can be cool

The little girl down the way asked me to take her picture. I was photographing something in the distance in a manual setting with a slow shutter speed on a tripod, and forgot to switch it back... well this is what I got by mistake, but I kinda like it.

Instant Insanity

Need I say more?

Cilantro

My Cilantro grew a flower on top while I was at the cottage for a week.

Wonder what it is.

I bought this flowering plant a few years ago, but it never bloomed this much. And I can't remember just what it is, but its so pretty.

ikea curtains

I hung a little privacy to the bedroom wing today.

Birds

He came back this afternoon.

insects

I have an ant problem at the cottage

Climb-At-Us

I got lots of blooms this year, ya think?

nuthin but net

With all of this talk about basketball finals, I really decided to dream about my own kind of net and not about that "orange circle thingy". I can nap in my version.

relax

I'd much rather be here today.

napkins

I'm going to make these napkins into a window valance for the cottage kitchen.

turtle

He came out of his shell to say hello.

plastic shoes

I've been making fun of them for years. But everybody keeps saying how comfortable they are. Well, I was at Target yesterday and they had them for $7.50. They are quite honestly the perfect yard shoe. I may go back and get the puke green ones for the cottage.

(sorry no flowers to stick in the holes)
