because it was another gorgeous day, our Monday gathering took place on the deck for one last time…

I moved the furniture, swept all the leaves off, cleaned the glass table, and put cushion covers on the chairs…

as I was sweeping the lower deck, it occurred to me that I could have used the leaf blower, lol… oh well, good exercise, lol…

and, we were treated to a freshly baked Bundt cake;-)… yum…

the sun shone and it did cool off a little, but we were very comfortable… what a treat in the middle of October…

had a great time on Monday, when I met with my BS buddies at the Park Cafe for a celebration lunch…

it was amazing because it was the birthday person’s birthday, lol… we don’t often have the celebration on their actual day…

we were there for a few hours…

the restaurant wasn’t too full, we had a lovely waitperson, the meal with very tasty, and we had lots of laughs and conversation (as always)…

these women have been my lifeline for over thirty-five years…

ordered a second arch a week or so ago when I noticed it was on sale for half price…

it arrived a few days ago and sat there staring at me, lol…

Wednesday afternoon, as the weather was nice, I finally spent the time to put it together… feel like a pro now, after the springtime attempt to put it together;-)…

my grandson managed to set it in place right next to the other one…

next year I will focus on beans, cucumbers, and peas, as well as a ton of morning glories to grow right over it;-)…

last…

between the bits of rain yesterday, I went out and picked the last of the beans…

well, I think it was the last of them… I’ve thought that a few times, lol…

cut them and boiled them up for supper… they were delicious, even if they were a little on the overgrown side…

fritters…

made zucchini fritters with two lovely zucchinis I got from Jonathan’s Farm…

grated them and wrapped them in a towel to wring out extra moisture…

after they were mixed with egg, cheese, and breadcrumbs, added them to the waffle maker…

came out nicely, although they could have used a bit of flour, which I decided to leave out…

I will make these again;-)…

mouthwatering…

on Monday, I made a toasted tomato and bacon sandwich, with a tomato from a friend…

it was delicious and reminded me of my beloved…

he made the most delicious tomato sandwiches…

I couldn’t figure out why they were so delicious… at some point I realized that he used a ton of Miracle Whip…

but, my oh my, they were mouthwatering…

went for a drive with my adventure partner…

drove just outside the city to Jonathan’s Farm to collect the veggies we both ordered online…

it was a sunny day and the drive was relaxing…

there was no one around when we arrived although I spotted someone in the field way down the way, lol…

we gathered up our produce and headed home…

the one thing we noticed was all the crazy drivers on the road, lol… Friday and everyone was in a hurry to get somewhere 🤪…

looking forward to some delicious meals…

cucumbers…

spotted the Farmers Market by Foodfare on our way home last Saturday, so popped in to see what they had… and there were cloth vegetable bags in the car;-)…

picked up pickling cucumbers (my favourite), tiny red potatoes, a cabbage, and a cauliflower…

I keep forgetting that this market is here…

then for my lunch I had some cucumbers, cherry tomatoes from a friend, avocado, and a bit of cheese… yum…
