It's hot hot hot
Gwendolyn having a cat nap
She has had many 'swims' today
to cool off
I must say I have been in the river many times today as well
This is such a comfy chair
A great place to sit with book in hand
I brought the chair home from Arizona
I brought the planter home from British Columbia
The bunkie is all set up
Any takers for a sleep over?????
I know
the boy
the girl
the young boy
and
the little boy
would jump at the chance
The hot weather has really brought out the best in the flowers
The Ruby Blues wine barrel
makes a great planter
The flowers are spilling over
The colours are so vibrant
A few nails and a salvaged piece of wood will do a good job of patching the breakwall
Bing came out to see what Gwendolyn was up to on the dock
I think there are a couple of noodles sitting on the chair
Earlier this afternoon Joe and I walked up to the tip of the island
put those noodles under our arms and floated down river
to the cottage
The gardens are full of beautiful smelling lavender
All the flowers are leaning toward the sun!
Mackinac is this weekend
We have seen quite a few boats go by the cottage already this week
The race is this Saturday
There are about 200 boats that take part in the race
The boats race from Port Huron Mi to Mackinaw Island
Joe was a busy man today
Last year he found this chair by the path
He brought it to the cottage
painted it yellow
added
flowers
ants
moths
butterflies
and
various other little things!
The "seat" was cracked in half
so
he glued it
he screwed it
VOILA
Someone was enjoying the evening
Guess who's done in for this evening????
I think they are gearing up
for Thursday's sizzler
That first picture of Gwendolyn with her tongue out is how I'm feeling these days !!!! Ugh....I'm not complaining as I still feel we had a very long winter. These are the summers I remember as a kid and going to cool off at Jackson's Pool in Germain park for a whole dime. Your flowers are gorgeous and vibrant. Again Joe I'm impressed with your creativity with that cute yellow chair ! Good recycling :o) Keep cool folks....Gwennie can teach you how...lol.
ReplyDeleteOh my you captured the heat!!!! Gwendolyn is precious!
ReplyDeleteI am impressed by the chair - will have to talk to you about your talent, Joe!!! Loved it!!!!
Your cottage looks lovely - to say nothing of the flowers.
Great weather - beats the rain. Stay well.
P & C
It all looks so peaceful, Dianne! This is the last day of extreme high heat index so it will get better for you, too. I am staying inside and painting walls & woodwork. Glad I don't have to be out in the heat. Keep the animals and yourselves cool!
ReplyDeleteI think you need to frame blow up & frame that
ReplyDeletepicture of Gwen. She looks so cute. It has been so hot. Thurs., we all need to relax & drink in plenty of fluids. 100 seems like AZ temps. Your place looks so warm & inviting. Maybe some day I will take you up on the offer of the bunk. See you Mon. Janet
