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…

this morning I was up at my usual time… it was dark…

the sun rose forty-five minutes later… this is very sad… a clear sign of what is to come…

it was light when I left and there were many, many, morning glories blooming in the garden…

this week I started back on vitamin D…

two storms during the night and the power was off… not sure for how long, but it came back on at 6 am… I know that because I heard what sounded like a car not starting… after a few minutes I realized it was the printer coming on line…

the sky was still quite angry…

when I got home had a beautiful view as I came out of the garage into the garden… even after an all-day overcast sky, the morning glories were smiling at me…

ended the very long week with a delicious treat… a bit of chocolate, almonds and two shortbread cookies from my stash, lol…

happy weekend;-)…

a few days ago I turned on the radiant heater in the bathroom because the floor was chilly…

sun is going down earlier and coming up later every day… seems like it was just June and here it is September, sigh…

also I’ve been noticing that the trees and plants are changing colour… the cedars are filled with cones… have never seen so many before… seems too soon to be fall…

haven’t had any morning glories bloom for the last week…

so this morning I was happy to see two buds, although they weren’t open… I love how they unfurl from a tightly twisted centre…

I figured that they would open and then close before I got home after work…

was very pleased to discover eight blooms in the garden that were still open…

what a lovely surprise…

this morning as I was leaving for work I was looking for morning glories amongst the mandevilla…

not a single one, but took some nice pics of the mandevilla covered in raindrops…

it poured around five in the morning and that made for some pretty pictures…

sure am missing my camera;(…

three great things before I even left the driveway this morning…

a stunning sky… couldn’t really get a picture that showed how orange the sun was…

then as I was headed to the garage I spotted morning glory flowers… the first ones of the year…

while I was searching for more blooms spotted my neighbour and after checking in with him he shared cucumbers and tomatoes with me…

dropped them into the house, took one final picture of the morning glories and headed off to work…

pretty fine way to start the day…

today I continued with the packing…

my youngest grandson came over for a few hours and we spent time in the hot tub and filled the pond… we also counted down the days till we go camping…

we had Chinese food leftovers and managed a selfie… took both of us to get it, lol… it was lovely because he usually doesn’t want to be in pictures…

after he was picked up I went outside and watched two gold finches fly away from the feeder… so I sat outside for half an hour, but they did not return…
