Things Are Blooming!

This is such a wonderful time of year to enjoy the beautiful shrubs and gardens around our home...the Red Prince Weigela is in full bloom....and is stunning...

And the Pink Splash variegated variety is in full bloom as well!

I'm so excited this peony has one bloom...it was planted last year...and once it matures...it is going to be gorgeous covered in coral blossoms!  We have a large pink peony that is about one day away from full bloom...I do plan to cut a bouquet.  Since they are usually covered in ants...after clipping I plunge them in a bucket of cold water for an hour or so...to rid them of the ants.  Works every time.  

Another gorgeous Bridal Wreath Spirea is blooming!  We have about four on our property...and most bloom at different times!  (there is another one blooming behind the pink weigela).  They are one of my favourite shrubs by far...

And how cute is grand baby's pool float?   She loves to beep the little horn...

We spent a lovely afternoon in the pool....she loves to be in the water!!

We are soon coming up on the one year anniversary of her open heart surgery...at 12 weeks old!  During a pandemic...at the sick children's hospital in Nova Scotia!  July 2, 2020 will always be ingrained in our minds...one of the longest days we, along with her parents...put in.  But look at her now!!  

And jumping all over the place here....the sheets and duvet cover set arrived...and I couldn't be happier...if you've been reading for a while...you know I changed things up...a lot...

Mr. Seventies hasn't installed the air conditioner yet...he was needed at our daughters to repair an outside retaining wall and install a new hanging light fixture over the Island.  Now that those are both out of the way...he is free to do the install. 

You know what I didn't think of though?  I have shutters on our windows...so one shutter will have to be removed for the air conditioner to go in the window.  Hmmm.....hadn't thought of that.  That leaves the top window...bare.  Going to have to see how I feel about that. 

That about wraps up things for today.  Hope you are enjoying great weather where you are....it looks like we are in sadly for a week of cloud and showers.

Stay safe and be kind to one another!!
