A Layout.......

......for Friday.
Been a while but I have one since I managed to scrap 2 pages this week.....go me :)


So glad my neighbour planted these along our border so I could enjoy them too.
Just had to scrap them for my flower album plus I got to use pink :)

Short and sweet post today.
Not much going on around here,just the usual everyday stuff.
Hoping for some sun this weekend.

Monday

The weather forecast says no rain after tonight.............I hope so because I've had enough for the time being.
It needs to warm up too.
Yesterday Ad had a baseball game and I kid you not we were sat there with coats, blankets and umbrellas until it just got too unbearable and we moved the cars so we could watch from the warmth..........thankfully it only lasted 1 full inning before the game was cancelled.

Chippies out and about eating all the seeds from the helicopters that have landed on the deck...........
I also caught him eating the petals from my Busy Lizzie's,the photo is after the fact..........he'd eaten the evidence ! So far he's not found the parsley because last year he stripped it bare !

We took a trip Saturday to the Canadian Museum of Civilisation in Hull to see a couple of exhibitions they had going on.This one was the main reason for going and was interesting but I wish it had been bigger,fuller.Also this one,which was interesting,I always love seeing Egyptian relics.We haven't taken a trip to a museum for a while so it was a fun day.

Today being the 1st of June starts another month of a photo a day.
I'm doing this fun challenge with Patti again but also we've roped in Julie too.
Since Patti and I enjoyed our weekend challenges last time we thought we'd have a word/challenge for everyday this month...should be interesting !
So we've picked 10 each.....we don't know them until the night before because a certain someone thought they might be tempted to cheat if they knew them all in advance !!
So I'll be posting them on my other blog.

I'll leave you with a couple more shots of stuff in my garden........

Love these so much mainly because they seed like crazy and are just too pretty and this year they haven't been attacked by nasty ants like last year.....

The pink......

and

The white......

The purple.....

Still waiting for the red ones,which is weird as they were out in abundance at our friends cottage a few weeks ago. !

Tuesday

This week sees the start of the boys sports seasons and they are well and truly getting underway.
Ol had his first soccer (it's taken me about 9 years to doing it with out thinking but I now call "football" soccer because it just got too confusing and when I referred to "football" as American football I'd get odd looks !).He had a blast and can't wait for his first game tomorrow,I hope the weather co-operates although it's not looking promising for the next few days.
Ad has his first baseball game Thursday....I think we will be eating dinner a lot at the park this year!

Well I scrapped yesterday but didn't finish my page so I'll post this one from I did on NSD..........

I'm not sure but I may have sorted out the poor image thing,although this one has come out a little dark but I'll take a little dark over fuzzy image.

And another shot from the garden,forget me nots are everywhere......

OK got to get on my bike......... to my first class in 4 weeks,hopefully my arm is fully rested but I know I am going to ache tomorrow :)

I said......

I'd post everyday this week....mmmmmmmm!

OK I'll start with this weekend,which was great,the weather was nice so we got lots done outside.

• Wonderful,fun dinner Friday night to celebrate a friends "special" birthday.
• Finished planting up the veggies and seeds.
• Cut the grass
• More weeding.
• New way of cooking/marinating ribs......yum :)
• Dinner with friends last night......where Stuart decided it was time to use their pool for the first time this year............even my boys went in......not for long but they went in !!!
• We didn't have time to get the nets up on the gazebo though but I might attempt that on my own this week because the mosquitoes are driving me crazy...........and they are huge,nasty evil devils this year !

I don't like to post without a picture so these are a few I took around the garden yesterday......

I have a couple of varieties of these....I love them and they just take care of themselves and keep coming back bigger and bigger.

This is probably a little over exposed but I liked it anyway,I don't remember planting this colour so I'm not sure if it's reverted back to it's original but I don't care as it's super pretty and had seeded it's self quite nicely around the garden !

Oh my peony buds............not long before these beauties open.

I didn't do any scrapping but I am going to do some today in between doing the laundry.There is one good side to sharing my space with my washer and dryer. Since it's sunny and windy out there it's a good day to do all the bed linens............nothing better than getting into a bed with fresh air dried sheets !

I have a new punch I am dying to use and a pile of pictures ready and waiting.

So back tomorrow ............

Monday, Monday

So glad it's a new week.......this is a photo heavy post as I don't have much to say.Plus I've had really intermittent Internet connection all weekend so I hope I don't get cut off. A while ago I learnt about the 'post options' button so I've also written Wednesdays post too.It's all set and ready to go even if I have no connection :)

We all spent the best part of Saturday in the garden,the boys both had friends over so they spent all day outside too.
I weeded all my flower beds,all 8 of them and Stuart found a robins egg in the grass.

Which is a shame,obviously she got spooked off her nest or didn't have it ready in time.

Oliver made this cute ladybird for the garden at school for Mothers day.......

So I let him decide where he wanted to put it and it's got pride of place on the front steps !

I took quite a few photo's around the garden,I think they should look better clicked bigger......

The tulips are out and blooming and so are the leaves.....


This one is the same tree as in my header after just 3 days........

I can't believe how much everything has grown,it makes me very happy to see all that green and bits of colour out there.
No scrapping time though,unfortunately but hopefully this week in between getting outside and working on the garden some more.

One page.

I'll just post one,even though I did 2 for this sketch,it's very sad but I could take photo's of flowers all day long !!! Love black eyed susan's,they are still blooming out there in my garden.

I'll be back later with a normal waffling post !!

White Magic

Here's my page based on the sketch in the post below.Yep,another flower page.....I love my garden,even though it is a huge amount of work .It needs a serious overhaul but that will have to wait until next Spring,I have done my 2 jobs for the yard this summer :)

2 pages !

Here are 2 pages I created based on my sketch,I couldn't decide which photo I like the best so did two pages since there wasn't much to them :)

Beesbalm

Testing again with adding a photo !

Beesbalm from the garden,the hummingbirds love to visit this just as the sun is setting,which makes it a little too dark for photographs unfortunately.
