Front Steps are Stained

Happy Belated Canada Day!!  We had a low key weekend...content to putter around the house and property and get things done.  Finished the day off yesterday with a bar-b-que and fresh strawberries from Nova Scotia.  Island berries...will be few and far between this year...as a late frost caused a great deal of destruction to berry crops here.

While the rest of the Maritime provinces are enduring a heat wave...it was only 13 degrees here with a cold breeze last evening...and we decided to forgo the celebratory fireworks on the water front.  We could hear them...(and could Liesel and she voiced her displeasure vocally).

Mr. Seventies put two coats of stain on the front steps on Saturday...


I'm still waiting for another solar candle to arrive..in the meantime I added one to another lantern I had on hand..


And my whimsical "ool" sign is secured to the pool deck wall as you enter the pool!  


Mr. Seventies also decided to put a fresh coat of stain on the back deck steps...but will wait and do the rest hopefully once the pool is operational  With hot weather finally forecasted...hoping they do come this week and do the repairs!

I picked up a super comfy pair of casual sandals over the weekend...they are Josef Seibel sandals..I had a hard time choosing between brown or black...and finally decided on a black pair.  The are very easy to slip on and fasten...I'd been need a pair of casual sandals and these fit the bill.


Our potatoes in the vegetable garden are almost ready to blossom....the lettuce and spinach are ready now! (that's peas growing next to the potatoes).


And I marvel at the beauty of my Bridal Wreath spirea this year...simply breath taking!


And on that note, I'll leave you with a few more beautiful plants from the gardens...these blooms were covered with butterflies the other day!


Some hosts are huge!


Mixture of lupins and iris...we planted red lupins...hope they grow!!  Waiting patiently for them to make an appearance!


Have a great day!!
