We had a great time on our dinner boat cruise

I took this photo while on our dinner boat cruise on Saturday evening. We were on a boat cruising around on Lake Ontario just outside of Toronto. I went up on deck about a half hour before sunset and stayed there until the sun was almost down snapping approximately 200 photos of the lovely scenery as the boat slowly moved across the lake.

What a beautiful evening we had. I’d highly recommend the Toronto Dinner boat cruises if your visiting the city or even if you live in the area and want to impress your date. The dinner was served as a buffet and it was delicious.

Oh, we had a couple sitting at the table beside us who were celebrating their five year wedding anniversary. They were dressed in the same clothes they wore to their wedding. She wore a simple white wedding gown and he wore a tuxedo. Everyone thought that they’d just been married, but it was their anniversary. They must be a very romantic couple.

This one reseeds itself well!

I believe that this flower is called Scabiosa. I grew these flowers from seed about four or five years ago in my front garden beds and ever since then they come up on their own all over the place. Lets just say they are hardy and they reseed themselves quite well.

This one happens to be growing in one of my planters. I didn’t plant it, it just came up on it’s own. I’ve come to think of them as pretty weeds.

Sorry about the very late Green Thumb Sunday post. We had our big family reunion from Friday until Tuesday and I’m just now getting back to blogging. I’m also extremely tired!

Trying to touch the sky

My rose, Breath of Life, is growing so well this year. It’s put out more new growth than in any of the previous years that I’ve been growing it.

This one rose appears to be stretching as far as it can to reach the sky. It must be about 7 feet tall.

Don’t you love it when the plants you grow do well? Whether it’s plants in your garden, vegetables or even house plants. When they do what they’re supposed to do it gives you a sense of accomplishment, doesn’t it?

Lush Clematis

I grow this clematis at the front of the house. The name of the particular species of clematis isn’t coming to mind easily but I do have it written down. Somewhere.

Do you keep track of the names of the plants that are in your garden? I have so many plants that it’s getting harder to keep track, but I still try.

The guys were happy that day

This weeks theme is Happy

The weekend before last my husbands brother came to visit from Chicago. We had a very busy few days and there were a lot of people in our house!

On the Sunday we went to the beach with some friends. It was raining, but it was such a hot day we didn’t mind and we also didn’t expect it to rain for very long. It turned out that it rained for at least three hours but we still spent some time sitting at the beach club, had some drinks and had an enjoyable time.

When the weather cleared up in the late afternoon my husband and his brother went for a dip in the lake. They had a nice swim and as you can see they appeared to be pretty happy when they emerged from the lake.

Actually, my husband gets along with his brother quite well and he’s always very happy when he gets a chance to see his brother, so I had a happy husband that week.
