snow fell all day long yesterday and it has finally accumulated a bit… we’ve seen very little snow up till now… this was how Indi looked when I got out to the parking lot…

it wasn’t too cold and the snow was still falling gently… I actually enjoyed brushing the car off… which was funny because a man walking by asked if I was having fun… and I said yes, I was… not sure I will feel the same in a month…

last night as I was walking by the hallway window I took this picture of the beautiful scene in the garden… tonight I got a few shots of the freshly shoveled yard…

snow is so wonderful to look at when you don’t have to go out, or shovel it, lol…

really can’t believe how fast time is going by…

seems like it was just yesterday that I turned the page to November on my Chihuly calendar…

rather like this picture…

looking forward to getting a 2019 Chihuly calendar and wondering what spectacular photos will be included…

whenever I look at the calendar I remember the amazing places I have been to see Chihuly installations…

the mind blowing Chihuly Garden and Glass in Seattle…

the gorgeous installations at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens…

the chandeliers at the Hilton Lac-Leamy in Gatineau…

wonder where I might see some next;-)…

yesterday my oldest grandson came over and we cleaned up all the pots and planters in the garden…

well, he did most of the cleaning up while I worked on a few things in the house…

we did work together to get the bird feeder hooked up so that it won’t lean over…

we ran out for groceries and then had ribs, baked potatoes and Brussels sprouts for dinner…

when he was picked up I went to bed, lol… fun, but long, day…

spent part of the day yesterday trying to find someone to clean up the leaves in the yard… eventually I hired my son-in-law who came today and raked everything up… then he put away all of the lawn furniture… looks great…

also trying to find a snow-clearing company as my grandson who has been doing the snow removal for the last few years is now busy with university and work and not available…

of three places I contacted, two were already filled up for the winter…

I have received a quote from the third place and will be in touch with a few questions…

hoping that it all works out because I don’t need to be worrying about snow when it starts falling, lol…

a few days ago when I was heading home from work I stopped and took some pictures of the piles of leaves in the parking lot…

as I walked through the backyard I took some shots of the leaves there too…

I haven’t been enjoying this Fall because it hasn’t been very Fall-like, sigh…

cold, snowy, overcast… what a drag…

but the leaves are incredible… even if they are all on the ground…

can I just say the weather has been silly for at least a week…

last Friday it was snowing as I went to an appointment in the morning… by the end of the day it was basically all gone…

on Wednesday it snowed like crazy and as I headed out to the car after work – in my sandals – I realized that I did not have a brush or scrapper to clean it off… happily I had a cloth in the trunk which helped clean off the snow from the windows…

when I got home I pulled out some brushes and cleared off the roof which was still covered with the wet snow… thank goodness it melted away overnight and the garage isn’t going to be filled with snow all winter…

today it has been raining/snowing all day so I haven’t left the house…

hoping tomorrow is better because I still don’t have a turkey, lol…

turned the calendar over on Monday and found this lovely picture…

on Sunday the kids caught most of the fish;, emptied, cleaned and filled the tank; and later in the evening I poured them into their condo…

we think there are still a few in the pond, although I haven’t spotted any when coming or going through the garden…

made me think of the year that George brought them in the first week of December and had to break the ice on the pond;-)…

amazingly productive day… out and about for groceries and items for a project… it was rainy and cold;-)…

back home I started two types of soup – chicken and vegetable, as well as zucchini basil… made rice and started red lentil curry…

my grandson arrived mid afternoon and helped with a rather long list of to do items…

he helped bring a mattress up from the basement that I am trying out as a headboard… I’ve been wanting a new headboard for ages… think it might work…

plants were brought into the house and feeders were filled… the printer is working again, a light got hooked up in the kitchen, and the living room window is clean…

he left around three hours after he arrived… I’m exhausted, lol… now for a rest before I finish the soup…

put a note in my calendar the other day so that I would remember to bring the Japanese Maple in from the garden…

doesn’t look like it was affected by the cold weather which makes me happy… will watch and see how stressed it will be from the move… it is a bit delicate and often drops all of the leaves when moved…

still have to bring in the hibiscus and mandevilla… maybe on Sunday…

right now the morning glories are wrapped all around the mandevilla, lol…
