It Must Be Summertime!
Well, not just yet. I’m all cozy in my sweatshirt and sweatpants. Even the furnace is on. While the misty rain falls, I still get outside to weed the gardens. You guessed it. We have arrived at the Lake House. It’s Sum-Sum-Summertime!
As we settle into our summer home, it’s time to dive back into the joys of gardening, mowing, and reconnecting with all the little details that make this place special. However, all these seem to happen simultaneously, causing both of us to be quite busy. So much needs to get done. It’s also why I weed in the rain—cause I got to get her done.
We chuckled when we found these blossoms on the kitchen counter the other day.
Once the gardens are weeded, I will plant zinnia seeds. I want to have a cutting garden again.
Big News
I get to see our grandson this weekend. I will be watching him for an overnight! I am really looking forward to seeing him.
The other big news is that I have unpacked my suitcase. I am very proud of myself! I dislike unpacking.
Columbines
These are the first of the flowers that are blooming in our gardens. They are always a pretty sight.
Rhododendrons
The Rhodies are being stubborn and slow to open.
Thank You
Busy is our middle name! We haven’t been here a week yet, but we have accomplished a lot.
I am wishing for the summer slow done to happen soon. Hmmm, we’ll see.
I know that I am behind, but I’m doing my best to catch up with all of you. Thanks for being patient with me.
As I always try to convey… we sure do appreciate all of you. Thank you for joining us for another Tuesday Tidbits.
We are wishing all of you a wonderful week ahead. Enjoy what this upcoming week brings to you. And whatever you have planned… make every day count and be thankful for your Blessings.

Welcome back to the East coast. My Forget Me Nots are blooming too. Enjoy your babysitting this weekend. Best job ever.
Can’t wait! Thanks for the love, Judy!
Nancy, I admire your incredible energy keeping two homes and gardens that are so very different. It sounds like you and Sweet Man have hit the ground running. It is a joy to see what your mother planted 50 years ago still thriving. I look forward to all of your posts from your summer home, my friend!
Thank you, dear Pam. We are running! Lol!
Happy Tuesday, sweet friend!
Wishing you a wonderful summer at your beautiful lake house!
Thank you, Beth!
The return to your Pennsylvania lake looks beautiful, Nance. Congratulations on getting so much accomplished!
Thank you, Mr. Mark!
Lovely photos! Right now it is 45 degrees here in beautiful downtown Vermont!
We are about that temperature right now as well. And the sun is shining!
Fingers crossed for sun here!
☀️☀️☀️ Sending you some!
Beautiful photos Nancy! I know you must be happy to be back lakeside and have a change of scenery and climate. Adorable Forget-Me-Nots, appropriately named as a reminder of your mother! Enjoy your back to lake life. ♥
Thank you Mary! We are happy to be back. Today I am off to buy annuals for the patio.
It’s always so wonderful to have you stop by.
Happy Tuesday!
Rainbows and sunsets, flowers and a misty chill–these are wonderful welcomes back to your other home. It sounds like you are settling in well. Enjoy your grandchild time as there is nothing that can compare.
Thank you so much! I can’t wait to see him!
i just love it when you go to the lake house and if you’re there it means that summer is — if not here yet — very close indeed! I can’t wait to see more!
Thank you! Your comments just warm my heart.
Summer is coming, I promise!
Enjoy that gradson😘
I shall! Thank you!
Beautiful photos. Especially the rainbow. Summer is sure taking it’s time getting to this part of the country. I’m hoping it gets warmer soon. Even though gardening may be more pleasant in the cooler weather I’d love to get my feet in the pond or even my whole body. 🙂
Thank you!
And summer is coming, I promise!
Nancy. It’s always a pleasure to see when you have switched homes. I know you love both homes for very different reasons. Lakeside is always fun and I am like you I don’t like to unpack so I try to get it over with all at once. Thank you for sharing your photos And have a great and wonderful summer. Blessings, dear friend
Oh Kari, your sweet comments warm my heart!
Thank you my dear!
Oh Nancy, that sunrise photo is truly amazing and glorious! It sounds like you really have accomplished a lot. Those forget-me-knots planted by your mother are the sweetest. Best of all will be being with your baby grandson. Enjoy every kiss and cuddle!
Thank you so much Kitty! I always enjoy hearing from you!
Enjoy the rest of your week!
Beautiful photos. I love all the flowers, sunsets, and rainbow.
Thanks so much, Tim.
Ooohh, everything is so green and lush. We’re getting rain at home too, and I’m itching to see our flowers. You have such a lovely garden to tend. Enjoy your grandson and your sum-sum- summertime. Its going to HOT here this weekend, but by the middle of next week, we’ll be in Montana for 2 days. Take care my friend!
Sorry I missed your visit to AZ this last time. Until we meet again, my friend!
Aren’t the little bouquets the best? I’m with you! Love your pics, as always, and it sure is sweatshirt weather, here, too! 🥰
Thank you Victoria!
💐💐💐
🥰💕🥰
Oh Nancy, you have so many pretty blooms! The sunrise you captured from your kitchen window is breathtaking. The rainbow is so pretty! You are so blessed to have two beautiful places to live. Enjoy spending time with that sweet grandbaby! Have a wonderful weekend, sweet friend!
Oh, Shannon, it’s so good to hear from you! Thanks for all the love, sweet friend!
Your flowers are always so lovely, Nancy. The forget-me-nots are such a perfect color. And the sunrise picture – I’m so jealous! Well, maybe not about weeding in the rain. How do you keep up your AZ yard when you’re gone? You need a nice CA home so you can come see us in the spring. 🙂 xxxx
We have people for our AZ yard. 🙂
I sure do miss you Marsha. I hope you are doing well.
Thanks for all the love, dear friend!
That’s good. Your yard is so beautiful. I’d hate for you to come back a back yard of dry weeds! I miss you, too, my friend. You never know. We might get back that way when we get tired of fog next winter. 🙂 xxx
