Yesterday was a sunny warm day at the cottage.
My sweetie is running out of big jobs to do so he has been cleaning out his workshop. Yeah that's it there and it is so tidy! I can't believe he has all the screwdrivers all lined up in sizes and what kind they are! Oh, yeah my family can as he is very organized...right Kelly? Anyway, we had this umbrella that we bought when we first came to the cottage...It was useless at the dock as if a little breeze came up and I mean little breeze, the thing would do what umbrellas do and we'd have to take it down. It was quite expensive and we could not discard it at all. We also had to replace one of the base parts in the first monthe we had
it because of the wind....So, it's been under the
cottage for about 9 years. It looked mouldy and
at first my sweetie just thought it might not be
feasible to fix it.
Well, we took the fabric part off and put it in the
wash and it came out perfect. A bit of cleaning
a new rope to raise it and now he has shade at
the workshop....I think he's going to move in
there as he loves the fact that it's a clean shop,
it has a view of the lake and the flowers.
on to the next topic? Well the bee balm is
be able to find them anytime now. I have
not see one at the flowers, but I did see a
few yellow finches there yesterday at the
The hummingbirds love the feeders and with the cool weathers we have been having they are quite vigorous eaters of the necter in the feeders.
This is what I put together yesterday. I am out of white fabric to complete a small quilt. Since we are heading home for a few days, I'll replenish my white and see if I can do something regarding the back of this quilt. I love the bright orange in the pieces. Orange is such a happy colour don't you think?
Yesterday was such a productive day.. I cleaned the cottage, even the floors got done and I still had energy to do the squares...I have been suffering a bit of arthritis and have started taking apple cyder vinegar...It tastes absolutely awful by the way....and I am for now pain free!
I hve no idea why it works like this, but I read on the web about it's benefits and so thought to try it. My girlfriend Dawn is going to try it too to see if it's a fluke that I'm without pain, also my daughter is going to test it too for her little aches and pains. It's a research program in progress.
Am off for a few days I think.
I had a bit of a problem with the blogger, so it's a bit wonky now. The post looked good before I started to fix it....

OMGosh!! You can actually "find" a screwdriver when you need one???? What a wonderful concept!! I showed Bob this post, but I don't think it sunk in LOL.
Cute little project you've got there Nanci :0) I love orange too, just don't use it very often.

I wish my husband would clean up his workshop - his method is if he can't find it he buys another!

Wow, your hubby now has a "man cave" you may never see him!~ But at least you will know eher his is. Love your quilt, I have fallen in love with orange this year!!
Yeah about the workshop. I may take "interior" photos for another post. It's a hoot! Everything in it's place. Reminding us of how neat we are when we see our quilting space. lol, lol...
I will have to mention your remedy to my sister. Love the squares.
I beleive it Mom but post a picture as your blog buddies will be amazed!
That spot back there with the umbrella looks like a good perch for Jerry to be sitting with a beer in hand, his glasses down his nose a bit, observing the grandsons making weapons that have the potential to seriously maim some innocent bystander!!
Yeah I must take a photo of the workshop. It's known as the Home Depot of Long Island...where we are and the neighbours who borrow stuff won't be able to find their usual stuff now that it;s all neat. Tomorrow.
The apple cider vinegar is best from the health food store...for those that sent a pm. There certainly is lots on the weba bout it...thanks all for stopping by.
Let us all know how the Apple Cidar vinegar goes. Definitely worth putting up with the taste if you get the results you want.
I am buying some tonight. i have had old injuries that have come back to haunt me...
