finally used my housemate’s electric sander to remove the majority of the peeling blue paint from what had been a fountain…

eventually it turned into a planter, but started peeling like crazy…

it has been sitting under the deck, where I could ignore it, for quite some time…

didn’t take too long once I got going to sand it down so it can be painted…

I do love purple, but the sun changes it to blue over time… still not quite sure what colour it is going to be… hmmm…

misting out this morning when I got up… still had to go outside and add water to the pond…

as I left the driveway I stopped and took a picture of the fountain which we finally got going a few weeks ago…

yesterday it was sunny with a beautiful blue sky as I drove to the office… this was the view today…

the mist turned into outright rain, lol… not nearly so lovely…

picked up an A & W Teenburger for lunch to support the MS Society… wonderful treat and an excellent excuse to have one, lol…

not exactly on my eating plan…

tonight the boys have come over for a sleepover… well, really to play Pokemon Go… after supper we walked to, and around, the Park and caught lots and then had ice cream at Sargent Sundae on our way home…

now there is some hot tubbing going on and then we are off to bed;-)…

gonna sleep well tonight…

another lovely day…

up early, had a smoothie for breakfast, and made potato salad – at my son-in-law’s request, for a birthday party tomorrow… 

took a few shots of the first bloom on the hibiscus… very nice…


then I was picked up and went plant shopping at three different garden centres… amazingly I was able to find something at each place, lol…


one of the most exciting purchases was a purply-blue water fountain for the front step… been watching it for awhile and today it was on sale, yay…


found a few plants to add to the garden and a couple of hanging baskets…  one is going to go into a planter at the front… really enjoyed the time with my friend…

topped it off with fresh peas, new potatoes, radishes, dill and tomatoes from the J & H Garden Centre… 

such fun to shell the peas once I got home…


after a nap and a few chores, ended the day with a fabulous dinner of smoked goldeye, with tiny new potatoes, peas and dill… yum…


ahhhhh… 

lots of work to do tomorrow…

geese…

Canada geese, fountain, hearing geese, Point West Auto Park

been hearing the geese quite a bit lately as they are flying about to get to the good feeding areas to fill up before their trip south…

when I was at the Point West Auto Park yesterday I saw lots of geese in the pond and took a few pictures on my way out…

most of them were resting on the grass…

although a few were in the water…

geese at the edge and in the water...

also saw a sandpiper (?) along the shore…

there was a little bit of play going on as well…

not sure if this was play or a fight...
