traded…

as I’ve been sitting in the garden reading and enjoying the birds and bunnies around me, I’ve been hearing the Canada geese as they have begun to fly overhead…

I do love listening to their honking to one another as they head north or south, depending on the time of day…

of course, the sad part is that means fall is coming, sigh…

as I was heading out for my walk on Wednesday, I stopped to take a photo of the oak tree just down the street…

seems like every single leaf had fallen off and was on the street…

most of the other trees along the way drop bits and pieces for quite some time…

not this one…

took a while, but I made it all the way into the water…

Sunday we spent a short time at Albert Beach where I went in up to my knees for just a few minutes… while there we spotted a pair of eagles flying over, although I was only able to get a photo of one…

late in the afternoon we went down to our beach and went into the water… it was rocky at the edge but we got through, found the sand and stayed in for quite a while… it was lovely although I had a little spill coming out of the water, lol… lots of rocks, but there were no injuries…

spent a good portion of Tuesday afternoon in the pond…

I removed the last of the water, by hand scooping, and then using the wet vac…

caught the last three small fish but only found two of the babies…

after that, I vacuumed up most of the leaves I could reach, and then covered the pond with a large tarp…

happy that it will catch the rest of the falling leaves and should make cleaning the pond in the spring much easier…

sadly, it doesn’t look exactly pretty, lol…

went for a walk the other day and enjoyed the colours…

the trees were looking so beautiful…

I came across these Halloween decorations just waiting to be turned on…

I bet they will look great when they are blown up…

I had a lovely time…

spent a lovely afternoon in the garden before the rain…

pulled more leaves out of the pond… more are coming down into it every day…

I read and listened to the birds as they crunched through the leaves looking for bugs and seeds… considering how small they are, they made a lot of noise…

flocks of white-throated, song, and house sparrows, as well as pine siskins landed in the grass and around the pond where they would carefully jump from rock to rock to get a drink…
