Summer Returning.....For The Weekend

To say this month's weather has been unpleasant...is an understatement.  As of today....we have been in the pool a grand total of one time in July!  We can't remember any other year where it has been so overcast and rainy...although we tend to forget some years.  The heat & sun are to return the next 3-4 days.

The outdoor wicker love seat cover is falling apart!  The fabric is literally disintegrating.  Before it fully falls apart...I'd searched locally for a new one with no luck.  So...Amazon it is.   This one I ordered is similar to the wicker chair covers...and they are holding up really well...so this one should be durable.

We've had so much rain...I've had to slide my begonia pots under the chair covers to keep them from getting water logged....

In chatting with our daughter...it appears grand baby is so eager to walk...she is having a number of falls!  And hitting her little head on the tile or hardwood floor!  So much so...they've put away her little walking train to prevent a serious head injury in a fall.

I'd never heard of a "walking helmet"... but what an awesome idea!  I had visions of her toddling about in a hockey helmet!  But these helmets are softly padded...like bubble wrap for the head! One should be arriving today for our little one...and then she can get back to the business of learning to walk!

My linen sheets arrived!  I am so impressed with them...the texture is very different.  Rough to start out...but they will soften as time passes.  I haven't put them on the bed yet....they need to be laundered first...and hung on the line outdoors.  Plan to do that over the weekend.  The duvet cover I ordered through a seller on Etsy...is being shipped today.  I will wait until it arrives and pull the bed together then.  Since they are fall colours.....I will likely wait until then. 

This is a Canadian company (Silk and Snow)...excellent quality linen bedding and customer service.(not a sponsored post...)  I like that the company sells mattresses using Canadian materials...and are made in Canada...as well as bedding.   I will be ordering another set in the not too distant future.  The sheets I ordered are Olive Green.  

The bees and I shared space while I picked the first bunch of lavender...they stayed on one side of the clump...and I snipped away on the other....

Mr. Seventies asked me last evening how I managed to pick a bunch...as the clump was currently covered in bees!  I had picked early morning...and there were only a couple of bees...and we had an understanding...the bees and I.   I wouldn't bother them...and they wouldn't bother me.

We have a date with our little one this evening....while her parents attend a function.  Since it's going to be warm....we are seeing a visit to the ice cream stand after her supper.  I suspect a bath will be in order after that outing!  

And today...I receive my second Covid vaccine.  I'm not anticipating any issues...it will be a relief to have it done.  

Have an awesome weekend and thanks for stopping by!
