Monday Mash Up

Good morning friends!  It's currently sprinkling a bit here...supposed to clear off as the day goes on!  We've had a busy few days & today is our daughter's birthday!  Her husband has a birthday in a few days...we celebrated with them over the weekend!

We enjoyed a delicious bar-be-cue...and since daughter's favourite cake is cherry cheesecake...we thoroughly enjoyed this one!  

I ordered from a local bake shop...it was probably the best cheesecake ever.....hands down!!   Her colleagues as work are hosting a luncheon & party for her & another co-worker celebrating today as well...

I mentioned a few posts back I came across another Gripstand bowl from FB Marketplace...this one was located here...but a couple of hours from us.  The amazing seller dropped it off a few days ago....I am so excited to add it to my collection!

After days of these baskets ruminating around in my head...I ordered a set!  I found them about $50 lower in price on eBay....I cannot wait for them to arrive!   Are you like that too?   You see something & you just can't get it out of your mind?  Well...that's me.   The heart wants what the heart wants!  I'll share when they arrive....

We had grand daughter for an afternoon...and had so much fun with her!  We spent some time feeding ducks in a local pond, went for ice cream, enjoyed a visit to a huge park down town on the waterfront....finishing up our play date...dining at her favourite restaurant..."the Donalds".... AKA McDonalds!

The weather was absolutely gorgeous....finding a parking spot proved a challenge...but we finally were able to find one....just look at that beautiful harbour view....

One of our favourite garden centres opened...Mr. Seventies wanted to check out the stock...see if there was anything he might "need"....  

While he went to checkout the plants & shrubs....I made my way to the gift shop...and was not disappointed!  I have such a weakness for garden gnomes....

A couple of adorable dachshund planters!  Or at least they resemble dachshunds to me....

There was a great supply of planters on hand....these mushroom ones are gorgeous....could see them sitting on a windowsill....

If this trike had been a bit larger....I would have snagged it & placed a faux plant in the cart....(real plants have a short life span with me..)

This throw is gorgeous....and so soft!  I'm crushing hard on the bumble bees too!

These salt & pepper shakers are hysterical!  And such likeness to the Royals...

When I finished browsing I ventured into the greenhouse...we sat & enjoyed an ice cream and the beautiful fountain....you can see the hanging baskets full of annuals...in a few short weeks they will be brimming over with flowers....there were numerous perennials & annuals being purchased...

We were able to spot five or six fish in the pond....you can see a few in this photo....

If weather co-operates we plan to motor to Summerside & check out Mr. Seventies favourite greenhouse there....and hope to have grand daughter tag along...

Things are starting to bud & poke through the soil!  The daffodils & hyacinth are blooming....and we're going to have an abundance of tulips!  Mr. Seventies has the vegetable garden tilled....I suspect he will plant some onions this week...even if we have frost overnight....it won't hurt them...

Have an amazing day & hope to see you next time....
