Happy Blue Monday...Momma said "SQUAAAAAAK!"

Happy Blue Monday to everyone.  I am linking with SmilingSally today.  Be sure to follow my link to visit the other Blue Monday participants...when you are done here... *s*..

It was a beauuuutiful weekend at the cottage.  It was HOT and humidity hit now and again but so did a nice breeze...now and again.   It was relaxing his weekend.  We barely cooked for one which is unusual. 

We ordered pizza and wings one night, grabbed a burger one afternoon and were invited out for dinner with friends Saturday.  It was a fun evening.  We DID have brekky at home Sunday morning and then it was time to leave.

I wanted to share the story on our window box.  We have a pretty little window box outside the shop. 

Nothing was different with it after our July 1st and 4th celebrations last weekend.  On Friday when I went to water it.....can you see what's in there?

The pictures are taken at a distance so they are not clear.....

Well I went inside to tell Marc and said I was going to get an up close picture.

Just as I was getting ready for the big "aim".... from behind me came this loud "SQUUAAAAK!" and this is the picture I snapped!!!!  I was so startled.

I told Marc "he" had better take the picture....

This is what was in the flower bed...2 pretty BLUE robin's eggs uncovered for a moment because momma was getting her dinner...

or rather....SHE was behind us up there watching..... *s*....

I recovered....and I hope the flowers will survive because we really can't water them now....for a while...

Momma sits there so proudly in her nest, hiding behind the greenery with only her tail sticking out from behind it...and a little red "vest" showing.  Do you have birds in your garden flowers?

I hope you had a wonderful weekend....one week before I start 3 weeks vacation...yay...

Homemade Gifts to Neighbours

Last weekend Marc baked 2 loaves of our Artisan Bread.  He baked them on the Thursday night and finished baking at midnight.  Because they are baked in a heavy cast iron pot and there is only one pot it took double time to bake 2 of them.  Didn't he do a good job?  He baked 2 because one was for special neighbours....

And I have been sewing my transferred image cushions.  This is one I sewed especially for our special neighbours...

On Friday night we walked them over to our cottage neighbours Bob and Georgia as a little welcome to spring and cottage gift.  I wrote on the back of the cushion.

We enjoyed making these specially for them....and we hope they liked them...
I hope you are enjoying a lovely spring too... Judi xoxo
