WELL..........
We are at one of our favourite places
for a visit
Can you guess where that might be????
If you guessed
CONNECTICUT
You have won the prize!!!!!!!
A few days before our 'trip'
we started organizing things at the cottage
It was time to bring in the volleyball poles
It was time to empty the
window boxes and flower pots
It sure looks bare
As you can see by the breakwall
the water level is down
We were also back and forth to the storage unit
looking for things I had put in bins
These things are to be going west!!
Did a good job
however
I need to find one more bin!!!!
HA HA
While driving along on the QE
we stopped at our niece's home
for a 5 minute 'hello'
Joe also wanted to drive by the rose field
to show me the beautiful rose bushes
Man oh man
check out the water in the field
Even though the sunset was behind us
we had a glimpse of the beauty of it all
Sunday morning I was entertained by
CAT
He sure looks comfortable!!
Over the years we have spent many an hour
in this cozy, fuzzy room
Here we have a little bit of
their daughter Elizabeth's art work
Sunday afternoon we took in the
Wild Mushroom Fest
First of all we checked out the outdoor market
before crossing the street to the Fest
Many a mushroom we would soon see
There was a long table that displayed the mushrooms
David brought mushrooms from his lawn
to have them checked out
There were many 'booths' from the local restaurants from Mystic Seaport
All the food contained
MUSHROOMS
Believe it or Not
Mushroom Ice Cream
It actaully tasted like Maple Ice Cream
with 'flecks' of mushroom in it
One of the chefs even donned
Mushroom pants!
A GUIDED TOUR THROUGH
THE WOODS
We even encountered a frog!
A quick walk around the pond then
over to check out the owls
Breakfast Lunch or Dinner
On our way out we stopped by the butterfly
house but did not see one butterfly
It sure was an interesting afternoon
A good time was had by all
Tomorrow we are off to see
Princes Diana's wedding dress
and ball gowns
Do not know if I will be allowed to
take photographs of the dresses???
Sure hope so!!!!!!!!!!
Mushroom Ice Cream...blech! :P

The mouse hanging on a limb was a bit morbid mom! Not nice. Cat looks a lot like stellaluna!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, although a bit sad to be seeing the "packing up" of the Stag Island home. Time does march on.....my consolation is I'll be seeing Gwennie very soon :o) ! I've never seen a cat lay that way !! Dogs for sure but not a cat, unreal ! Thanks for the pictures of the various mushrooms in the wild, especially the red one with white polka dots like in Alice in Wonderland. I never knew it truly existed. Your blogs are not only creative, entertaining but also educational !! Keep clicking away Dianne :o) xoxo
ReplyDeleteI have missed your posts. You have been busy. Thanks for sharing the mushroom festival. I am NOT 'up' on edible mushrooms...if they aren't in a package in the store, I wouldn't think of using them. I hope to see Princess Di dresses next.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jen...the mouse picture was yucky but it was actually a neat picture. CAT looks very interesting...how does he/she get along with Bing & Suzie? SB
