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;-)…

finally got the net down to protect the pond from all the falling leaves…

we ordered netting online awhile ago and I had some landscape pins which we used to fasten it around the pond… I had to remove ones that were holding down a drip hose around the main deck because I have managed to misplace the box which has at least twenty-five more pins in it, sigh…

it was an interesting process as we figured out the best spots to attach it… my housemate did most of the work, but I did help…

so happy that we can still traverse the bridge without having to walk on the net…

it is the perfect length so that we didn’t have to go back and forth across the water to cover the whole thing… it doesn’t even look too bad…

and, of course, since then, hardly any leaves have fallen, lol…

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…

ten years ago I was floating over Gatineau in a hot air balloon… along with dozens of other balloons;-)…

I’d been waiting over twenty years for this experience… for my fortieth my beloved bought us tickets to fly at home, but the company ran away with the money…

it was everything I imagined and a very special moment in my life… the memory continues to be bright;-)…

went for a ride on one of the Winnipeg Waterways Tour boats yesterday morning…

while we waited to board, saw some ducks and geese and had to take a few pics, lol…

our driver, Pete, shared lots of interesting facts, many I wasn’t aware of, as we travelled along the Assiniboine and Red rivers…

it was fun to see some of the city landmarks from the water…

I was happy to get a few nice photos of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights…

and this one from the back of it…

a lovely treat;-)…

sod…

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;-)…
