Adventures...

The true adventurer goes forth aimless and uncalculating to meet and greet unknown fate.

~O. Henry

Hope you had a great weekend. We were super busy. Friday night we had a date and went to the movie and dinner! Fantastic fun!

Saturday morning we decided to go to one of our favorite fishing destinations. I was hoping to catch a bunch of blue crabs, I'm just not patient enough to fish, lately!!! We had a great time. The moon was full, we made a campfire and cooked outside. The man grilled chicken breasts and baked sweet potatos, we had wine and french bread to complete the meal! It was yummy!

We didn't get in until late last night, so I'll have to download my pics this afternoon and show you later.

I've been gathering supplies for a few projects. Hope to get started this week. I'll show you soon!

The Garden Path

"Won't you come into the garden? I would like my roses to see you."

~ Richard B Sheridan 1751-1816

This Make Mine Pink Friday we are celebrating our garden paths! If you have ever looked at my blog before you know that I love my flower garden....it's something that I enjoy very much. I have stepping stones for paths and a few rock walls that border the beds. It is in constant change and I love the surprises.

And from one day to the next... you never know what you will find.

I aged this little angel to put into the garden and love it so much!If you want an angel of your very own, you can find it here.

The Sunflowers brought so much joy! Now they are feeding the birds! We have lots of birdfeeders for your garden; hope you find one that suits you and your guests! If you'd like a birdhouse we have those, too!

I'm thinking that these birdfeeders that I made in the spring were just the perfect size to get the birds interested in dining here!

Our fountains will make a beautiful addition to any garden.

Wishing you a great Pink Friday!

All my best...

~Cynthia Wickham

Can you believe that today is the first day of July? This year is going by too fast! We are making plans for a B-B-Q with the family for the 4th! Looking forward to the good food....and then going fishing Saturday! Should be a great weekend.

Did you have a chance to try the oatmeal raisin cookies? They are vanishing fast over here!

What are your plans for this holiday weekend?

Relaxation....

Man is so made that he can only find relaxation from one kind of labour by taking up another.
~Anatole France

Did you have a chance to relax this weekend? I did a little treasure hunting and went to the fruit stand. We spent a little time at the book store and had a cookie with coffee. The cookie was so good I decided to go home and bake some! I added some dates in with the raisins. They were so YUMMY!

It rained on and off most of the weekend. But, my flower gardens need it so bad; I didn't mind much. It made the weeds easy to pull!

Have a great week!
