whatever leaves are left in the front yard will stay there for all the little creatures, although there aren’t very many leaves…
the garden is a different story… currently it is difficult to see the pond as the net is nearly completely covered with leaves… the elm tree next door still has a few leaves to fall so we will likely wait for them to come down before removing the net and putting the leaves in the flowerbed closest to it…
at that point we will probably bring the fish into their winter condo…
I’ve been thinking of the great meals we had on the train… the first morning we didn’t know where the dining car was and made the best of what we found in another car,,,
then we discovered where the dining car was, and had excellent meals from then on, lol… at each meal you got to choose between three options…
and at each meal we ended up sitting with people who we hadn’t met before…
because I had many, many, WestJet points, we flew home from Victoria first class…
happily it meant that our bags were free to check so we didn’t have to worry about them, and there were two seats instead of three, which meant we had more space…
the first flight was early in the morning and our Uber driver got us there in ample time…
we left a few minutes late but had excellent service, lots of snacks and real glasses for our beverages;-)…
the mountains looked stunning as we flew over them and landed right on time in Calgary… then, we had to literally run all the way across the airport to the gate for the final leg of our journey… I was very worried we wouldn’t make it and we arrived with just a few minutes to spare, and we were the last to get on the plane…
I was a little bit peeved as I had paid extra to have the WestJet person on the phone make all the reservations so there wouldn’t be any problems… not only did they get the birthdates wrong for both of us, but they booked 45 minutes between the flights which is too close to move from one end of the airport to the other… a rather exciting end to our trip…
but, we arrived home safe and sound and with our luggage😥…
the old one had broken at the top when the plastic gave up… not even sure how long it has been since it was put up… not that long after we moved into the house… so, could be close to 50 years…
this new blind can be opaque or blacked out, lol…
then I decided to put one in the bedroom…
my housemate took down the old one and put up the new one…
