For those of us in the states, it is Memorial Weekend, and the beginning of my 6 day weekend! And we are thankful to those who sacrificed so much courage for this country! What is everybody up too??? I'm going out of town later tonight to Virginia to visit family for a picnic, and a pit stop in Rehoboth Beach on my way back, to get my dance on with a friend . It's already been a relaxing day. Spring is now entering summer mode......scenes from my 5 mile hike up at the lake this morn......only minutes from my flat...........
The lake is a huge one, its always so peaceful up there. I took a canoe out after my walk , and then enjoyed the wildlife preserve at the one end of the lake. Once back I made my morning coffee and a light breakfast while enjoying a fury of activity on the finch socks!!!!!!!!
As you can see their bright yellow has returned!!!!!!
And in other news Foxy has been sited with two new pups. And Stanley and Helen, the two nesting mallards are trying to defend there own. Yikes. I must have a conversation with fox , and tell her to mind herself, it jus ain't fittin, I tell you.
I'll return next week, so you all have a nice Memorial Weekend.How are you feeling summer coming in your zip code? Have a good one!
*XOXOX*
What great pictures......must be nice to be so close to a wonderful lake. I'd be up there alot. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI do tend to go up to the lake four days a week for running or hiking the trails.
DeleteGreat pictures!!!! That lake does look huge in that one picture. I love that you can lose yourself like that on a hike, I find that very attractive. And the finch are insane!!!!!!

DeleteA 6-day weekend? Sweeeeeeeeeeeet.
ReplyDeleteYou lucky duck.......no pun intended. But hope the best for the Ropers!!!!ahhhhh......the boys of Rehoboth.........have a blast
ReplyDeletethat bridge reminds me of the one in "dirty dancing"; baby was practicing her steps.
ReplyDeletespeaking of dirty dancing, is that what you will be doing in rehoboth? and will you be seeing my boyfriend mark and his husband whilst you are there?
Your right, I remember that bridge, but the only dancing I've done on it is the horizontal mumbo! I will have to look Mark up when I have more time there. I haven't seen him his the legendary Dust Bunny Weekend.
DeleteI'll be performing at the Blue Moon tonight (Sat) at 9:30 if you're in town then. Or, text me when you can. Miss you!! :-)

ReplyDeleteSounds like some major fun.....safe travels and BEHAVE! Have a great time, and the lake looks incredible.
ReplyDeleteI don't think the mistress knows the meaning of BEHAVE!
DeleteDoesn't behave? My kind of boy.
DeleteEnjoy your long weekend out of town and stay safe! You have such a lovely place to hike and canoe. Beautiful pictures. Glad that all your cute, little birdies are out in full force. I love that you're very much into nature and respect it while protecting it as well. :)

ReplyDeleteHappy Memorial weekend Mistress! Glorious photos darling. I especially love the finch. MY WORD!!! You certainly do live in a beautiful oasis.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more! Those finch are so fun to see. Love this posts Mistress and your love of nature.
DeleteVery nice pictures! It's somewhat cold and windy, but on Sunday we'll have our glorious Spring weather back.
ReplyDeletethere was a boy, a very strange enchanted boy...
ReplyDeleteone strange and enchanted boy alright. While he's far and wide, I will have to run this dump. * makes sure Mistress gone, lowers disco balls, pops cork* Let the goods times roll!
Deletehey, houseboy, bring me another cold G&T cock-a-tail! and this time put some GIN in it!
DeleteYes, I have been anointed with enchantment what's your point?
DeleteFive miles!!!!!!! But did you do it in heels???? And just who is cleaning up all those bird droppings???? And ignore that above comment, the bubbly was hitting me.
ReplyDeleteFor a high society mistress, your appreciation of Nature is quite inspiring. I hope you'll visit Africa one day and boogie with your primate cousins.
ReplyDeleteI would love to visit Africa!!!!!!! It will give me a excuse to break out my turbans, and burn up the floor with you dear ape.
DeleteHave a fabulous weekend .... looooooooong weekend.
ReplyDeleteWe are gorgeous here in the SC for the holiday!
Have a wonderful time with family and your friend this weekend. I really ejoyed seeing your morning, those finch tickled me.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post! I believe it would be so fun to live near you!!!! So beautiful, with so much to see and do. Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteHEY! I'll be in Rehoboth too! Maybe we will run onto each other!!!! I could finally meet you!!!!!!! Have a great time, Love all the nature pictures. You have tamed that fox yet???? I'd thought it would be a pet by now.
ReplyDeleteand if your wearing those little red briefs, and you run into him, you'll have to peel him off.
DeleteYes, bring those abs.....i can beat my laundry against it.
DeleteWHAT laundry? you are always naked as a jaybird around the house! ;-)
DeleteHappy Memorial weekend and here's to summer! I love that first picture, is that a,water droplet or a patch of fog. Its cool.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dream-like pictures. Love where you live and the stately wilderness surrounding your home. Great, awesome hiking too I bet! Have a fun vacation!
ReplyDeleteThank you ginger! Yes I love where I'm at. I have all the little artsy towns to the south, within minutes, the woods and lake where I'm at, and 40 mins west in downtown Philadelphia......the best of all worlds.
DeleteThat time of year when Maddie stops working....
ReplyDeletei would swear he works once to season just for the gratis skincare and discount!
DeleteExactly. And he hasn't even scheduled all of his time.
DeleteAt the point in time, at least I know where and how to get to work. Ask me again the next couple months.
DeleteUntil they shut down your corner.

Wow, great way to start a long weekend. Were told the lakes in Bucks County are glorious. We will have to check this out. Maybe you could meet us to kayak there!?!? Have a wonderful Memorial and enjoy your Rehoboth pit stop.
ReplyDeleteWOW! That looks like a beautiful lake!!!! I have one near my house and very secluded. The dock you show looks like one a sunbath on. And its secluded enough that I can lay naked on it, and then jump in in the lake. Nothing like nature. Finch!!!!! Holy, they like you
