Summer Finally Arrived!!

Everyone is likely tired of me grumbling about our weather.....yesterday I think was the turning point!  It was hot, sunny with an awesome breeze - we spent the day & evening hanging out on the decks. swimming in the pool & enjoyed our traditional Canada Day barbecue with daughter & family!

It was a wonderful Canada Day....and....today we have a "heat" warning in place!  I luv it!!  It can't be too hot for me....we plan to walk Clancy Mae early while it's still cool....and enjoy the amazing weather & dips in the pool!  We have to pop into our veterinary clinic on our way home....to have her weighed & purchase her flea, worm & tick medication....

Six years ago today....at twelve weeks of age....our precious granddaughter was operated on to close the very large hole in her little heart!!  2020 was a rough year.....for her parents....and grandparents!  She made a full recovery & is living her best life.....and couldn't be more loved!

I was at Global Pet Foods the other day, picking up kibble, bones & snacks for Clancy Mae ....it just so happens to be a few doors down from Home Sense....and since I was that close....I took a quick browse around....

Yup...a bit of Hallowe'en is going on there too....


These are kind of cool....they would look awesome hanging on a tree limb in the front yard....these are from Martha Stewart.....she can do no wrong...


This pretty wooden bowl is a candle.....I'd buy it as a decorative piece rather than a candle....


This small lamp is lovely....from the base to the shade....so feminine & pretty....


This cute basket base covered in strawberries would be awesome on the kitchen counter....


I considered buying a floor fan....to use in the master bedroom.  Not so much for cooling...but air circulations during the night, we currently have a fan sitting on our dresser....but I'm a bit obsessed with these floor ones!   My only hesitation is the size of the fan blades....not certain how much air they would actually circulate...they are a bit on the small side....



This ruffled throw is gorgeous & so soft....but sadly it has a number of pulls (you can see them in the photo)....even if the price was marked down....it wouldn't be my choice.....



Has anyone ordered eyewear online?  I ordered two pair of progressive lenses and frames....cannot wait for them to arrive...these look like so much fun....I'm a huge fan of "different" eyewear....I'm obsessed with these pretty floral blue frames....



And the shape of these ones....with the sparkly detailing.....so pretty!!


I have a few different pair of eyeglasses....I feel if you have to wear them.....they oughta be awesome!

Mr. Seventies has the solar blanket installed on the roller & now can cover the pool overnight to keep the water temperature up.....today promises to be another pool day!!

That is about all the news from here....thanks so much for spending time with me today!!

Til next time.....
