As the dust settles.....

It's like the vapor trails in the sky....the dust trail is faintly hanging in the air on my dirt road in the middle of nowhere....the last car of family members is on their way home.  There is still visible bits and pieces of them around the house.  Roshann's forgotten camping towel, found hanging on the curtain rod in the bathroom....I think Patrik about now is wondering where his tooth brush is....I have it along with his tooth paste....laughing.
My nephew is very thoughtful, for my 50th birthday he bought me a beautiful bouquet of French flowers....they are not only beautiful the fragrance fills the sunroom....it makes me feel like I am in a French flower market.  He said he read my post about the absolutely beautiful flower bouquets sold at our local farmer's market...Thank you again Tegan and Amanda from Edgewood Farm.  Penny the owner of Edgewood Farm does the most amazing things with flowers, herbs, foliage this side of nowhere.  I could gush all day long about it.... the flower gardens are breath taking...I asked her if she would partake a few of her flower arranging tips to me....she gladly said she would love to. 
So today I spent my day cleaning the cottage....remaking beds, cleaning the bathroom, and putting everything away....to me it felt like the final chapter of that really good book.......I can hardly wait for the sequel...."Freak Show with out the tent 2"....rofl

Good Afternoon Monday.......

Labour Day Monday... I guess everyone is coming back from were they went this weekend. I had house guests (aka FAMILY), they will have all exited stage left by Tuesday Morning. What a weekend... Family... mothers, grandmothers, sisters, nephews, girlfriends, step-fathers, husbands, uncles, aunts, dogs, cats and even the odd fruit fly was in the mix. Like my fridge magnet says: "The Freak Show without the tent," but who are we without family??? Hmmmmm... well perhaps that question is for another time.

Last night for dinner, it was a create a dish from the left overs in the fridge. Patrik won hands down with his Harvard Beet, Black Olive and Blue Corn Chip Nachos!!! Another budding eccentric culinary genius in the family.

I am finishing up the last of the weekends canning, Delicious Dilly Beans, Diced Tomatoes, six bird stock and Rhubarb Ketchup... Yes, I canned the entire time my family was visiting. We have a few foodies in the crowd, okay my entire family are foodies!!!! My brother's ex-girlfriend once commented: "Every time I have dinner at your families they talk about FOOD....",laughing. Just to show her we don't always talk about food...the next time she came to dinner we had an entire conversation about place mats.
