updated the living room table with items connected to our Big Adventure out West…

a few days ago I picked up an album and put in the 175 pictures I had printed at Staples… this will make it much easier to look at the photos…

we finished our daily favourites book and I also added the purple bag that housed all the items we collected…

now to finish the last bits and pieces, and having everything in the table will act as a great reminder to get this project finished, lol…

recently we started bringing the fish into their winter condo…

the first time we did our fishing, it was at night and raining, and we needed flashlights to see… that evening we collected fourteen fish…

after a while in the pail, they made their way into their winter digs…

the next night it was still light as we searched for more fish…

so far we have seventeen fish in the tanks… I think there are probably a few more for us (I mean my housemate) to catch, lol…

we ended our visit at The Leaf…

my daughter wandered around while I worked my volunteer shift…

besides enjoying the biomes she spent time making art;-)…

when my shift was over we enjoyed a meal at Gather and then I drove her to the airport for her flight home…

so happy to have had this time with her🤗…

went out for a little walkabout in the garden…

so happy to see the plants that are still flowering, no matter the low nighttime temperatures…

I bought three of these in the spring… of course I don’t remember their name, lol… they bloomed strongly for weeks once planted, then just a bit and have recently been blooming like crazy again… there is a possibility that they are perennial… we shall see come spring😊…

this tiny sweet alyssum in the wildflower pot looks very cute, and the sunflowers continue to smile…

apparently wildflowers are sturdy 😊…

this morning I voted in the advance poll at Polo Park… they are really strict about not allowing photos to be taken, and instead of stickers, had a banner you could use… maybe it saves money 🤪…

as a reward we got pretzels… mine were mini sesame ones… and I found them easier to eat;-)…

my favourite is the garlic and salt, but I was heading to The Leaf to volunteer and didn’t want to breathe garlic on the visitors, lol…

and as a special treat we came across three deer…

what a lovely bonus…

the lawn was mowed one last time on Sunday…

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…
