ran around Saturday morning and basically finished my Christmas shopping…

a beautiful outdoor tree tried to seduce me at Canadian Tire, but I walked away, lol…

we also had a lot of fun at BulkBarn finding things for a couple of Advent calendars…

the last few books were picked up at Chapters for my littlest friends and we found the last sheep door draft stopper…

so, I guess now I have to wrap things, lol…

got these two little cuties while grocery shopping the other day…

the tree will join the rest of the forest once they make their way out for their seasonal display…

not sure if the snowperson will join the melt (group of snow people), or make its way onto the Christmas tree…

thaw…

bought a few tree greens while at the grocery store…

dug out two birch branches, some small white twigs, and a stem of red berries from the shed…

went through a Christmas box and brought out some large ornaments…

last week I’d brought in the planter from the top step so it could thaw out so all the dead plants could be pulled out…

took the planter into the garden, removed all the dead plants and added in the greenery…

after everything was included, it was carried to the front steps…

added some solar lights…

looks good…

I am always interested in the setting for each of the plays we attend at PTE…

this one was neat and it was cool how they changed the setting with tables and chairs…

both funny and thought provoking and the actors changed from one character to another smoothly…

really enjoying this season;-)…

spent Friday morning at the entrance to the zoo as a zoo concierge…

this was my little nook by the doors…

learned lots of tips and tricks from the staff and got a few pictures of some of the Zoo Lights which started that evening…

four layers of clothing was perfect and toward the end of my shift, the top layer came off;-)…

had a lovely day with my buddies…

we spent time at WAG/Qaumajuq checking out the various galleries;-)… so much to see…

this piece of art was the only one I took a photo of, and apparently a bit crooked, lol…

from there we walked over to the White Star Diner for lunch… fun time and tasty food…

we do love celebrating birthdays😊…

picked up an amaryllis when I was out grocery shopping on November 8th…

I am a bit sceptical whether it will do anything as it did not look very good…

the bulb was shrivelled with some dead bits at the top…

but, I planted it and put it close to a heating vent and have my fingers crossed;-)…

a friend dropped by for a visit on Saturday morning and brought me a few books…

a bit later my housemate and I went to Globosapiens to pick up some additional books… this time I chose some new releases as well as some of the authors I usually read…

the Halloween decorations had filled up most of the stairs as there were very few books left to read…

I took this (⬆️) photo on November 1st before the decorations came down…

now, the stair library is booming once again;-)… woohoo… I haven’t been enjoying the current read, so may just put that one aside and start on one of these;-)…
