this afternoon the doorbell rang and it was my neighbour…

he and his helper had come to see if they could fix the two pieces of siding which have been flapping on the side of the house for ages…

he had already moved the plunge tub and wheelbarrow to get to the ladder which hangs on the outside of the garage and then he got right to work…

it took awhile to get both pieces back in place and he had a tool in his hand that I couldn’t quite make out, but after moving the ladder a number of times in both places, he got it done…

I am so happy because now I won’t have to listen to the flapping anymore when it is windy…

what a treat…

went just a few streets further on my walk this morning…

it was overcast and a bit cool, which made it perfect for walking;-)…

today, orange and yellow seemed to be the colours that drew me…

it is fun to look at houses and how front yards are designed… even came across an Inukshuk…

caught some geese that were flying right above me…

and had a different view of the Park bridge, ice sculpture and pavilion…

glad I went early, as not too long after I got home it rained for ages…

met up with my adventure buddy and we went for a stroll through the English and Leo Mol Gardens at the Park…

it was an overcast day, but the rain held off…

there were gardeners working everywhere to keep the space beautiful…

here are a few things I took photos of…

we spotted a hummingbird and watched it for a few minutes amongst the purple flowers…

had a break on our bench before enjoying a bit of lunch at the Park Cafe where I had some tasty falafels…

it was spitting when I left the Park…

managed over 12,000 steps for the day, woohoo…

I’ve been walking past Divine Clarity for awhile now, since I am taking a slightly longer walk…

I haven’t been inside for ages, but on Friday morning decided to stop in…

the space has been completely rearranged since I was last there and I really like the new setup… and it continues to be a lovely welcoming space…

I had fun in the rock area and came home with four lovely gemstones… a chevron amethyst, a ruby fuchsite, malachite, and azurite…

they make me feel happy;-)…

I also picked up a pretty shopping bag… for the life of me, I don’t know where my other ones are although they are perfectly safe😳…

stunning…

had a wonderful time Tuesday morning as I wandered through the English and Leo Mol Gardens…

it was the first time in months since I’ve walked to the Park… took a minute to remember which path to take, lol…

the gardens are in full bloom and look amazing…

besides the gorgeous flowers, I was able to watch a number of stunning birds, including hummingbirds, as they flitted about all the flowers…

these two photos have one in each of them, but both are rather blurry and hard to spot…

such a wonderful way to spend the morning;-)…

was very happy on Sunday afternoon when a new supply of Fern Michaels books arrived…

I was on the last two books, so it was perfect timing;-)…

I also got a container of homemade potato salad, woohoo…

took a bit of time on Monday to add them to the stair library;-)… before setting them on the steps, I had to sort them in order…

lots of great reading ahead;-)…

spent a little time with the last of my bouquet subscription flowers…

I had divided the bouquet into two vases, but they were pretty much done, so I collected the last of the good ones and put them into two small vases…

one in the bathroom and one on the pass-through…

I am already missing the weekly beauties…

displays…

saw some lovely flower displays on my walk yesterday…

this house looked nice with the lovely manicured flowerbeds…

I often take a photo of this display that looks pretty throughout the entire summer…

and these flowers made me think more about changing out the grass in the front yard…

new-to-me…

today I added a couple of books to my stair library…

picked them up at a Little Free Library on my morning walk…

both are from some of my favourite authors;-)…

this was a new-to-me library as I took a slightly different route today…
