had a conversation the other day about often putting my foot outside of the blankets to sleep…

I’d seen something on social media saying it can help a person go to sleep…

one person agreed they did it all the time, but another said they’d never heard of that, or done it…

so, I went online and found the following:

early this morning I tried to get a photo of my foot outside the sheet and blankets…

it was entertaining to get the photo in the dark, lol…

well, what a day, phew… it was chilly, overcast, and windy…

spent the morning in the garage moving bits and pieces out into the driveway to make room for an empty table to work on…

then my housemate met up with his grandfather to go and pick up lumber for the new shelves planned for the basement and the garage…

once he returned home, we moved more things and then updated a shelf beside the door for my gardening gloves and tools…

it is stronger, looks amazing, and now each tool is much more accessible underneath;-)…

we worked on the basement shelves, his brother arrived, and they finished them…

they ended up looking excellent and adding more useful space for organizing our stuff, lol…

they continued to work in the garage to redo a section of shelves and add counter space…

I didn’t quite get a picture of the finished product, before we moved all the bits and pieces back into the garage for the night…

it is going to be so organized that I might not be able to find anything 🤪…

went to The Park Cafe and met up with two friends…

we had a lovely breakfast and then a couple of us took a quick walk through the English and Leo Mol Gardens…

it was cool out so we didn’t dawdle… still a few beautiful colours out there…

then I walked across the bridge to where I’d parked the car…

out in the garden and front yard on Sunday morning…

pulled out a huge clump of self-seeded morning glories in the front flower bed… the frost got them a few days before…

I can understand how they are considered invasive in BC… but they weren’t causing any problem in the flower bed and added some lovely flowers for the last month or so…

nearly filled one of the yard waste bags and then I swept up Virginia creeper branches on the bottom decks… the bag was pretty full by the time I was done…

final piece of work was removing all the morning glory vines from the butterfly bench…

still a few jobs to do to close down the garden for the season…

last week we went through the garden and collected flowers from the pansies, bachelor buttons and petunias, as they will be a special snack treat for the bearded dragon, lol…
