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…

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…

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…

went for a walk around the neighbourhood Friday morning…

was surprised at the huge stacks of sod I spotted at one point, lol… could not figure out where it was all going to go…

lots of flowers and a few people along the way, but no books of interest at either of the Little Libraries I passed…

the weather was lovely though, and I collected a few Poke balls;-)…

I picked beans for my supper a few days ago and had to use the step stool again, lol…

I also brought in the last tomatoes although they weren’t ripe…

I still have to cut the tomato plants down, but haven’t quite got to that piece of work…

it is always an enjoyable and relaxing job to top and tail the beans before cooking them…

and they were delicious…

it’s been fun watching the tomatoes grow over the season…

last week they started to turn orange and then red…

a few, closer to the bottom of the planter, were taken off the plant, had a few bites out of them, and I found them on the ground…

I decided to leave them there and a few days later discovered they were completely gone… just an outline left on the stepping stone, lol…

today I went out to pick the ripe ones only to discover that they all had large bruises on them…

decided to compost them, sigh…
