went to a pet store today… big mistake, lol…

came home with three goldfish… a white one with a bright patch of red close to its tail and two gold with black dots all over them…

set them in the pond in their travel bag for nearby an hour… it is fairly cool in the pond with all this cold weather we’ve been having…

once they were released, I spotted this little one and got a quick photo… then they vanished under the bridge… since then, I’ve spotted the white one, but so far not the other two;-)…

mistake…

just possible that I made a mistake when I brought out the morning glories and the dahlia from Lily Stone Gardens and planted them last Saturday…

the wind has been very strong and it has been cool in the evenings…

the dahlia hasn’t been looking at all happy and on Wednesday evening I covered it with sheets hoping to block the wind…

it is still not happy… we shall see…

mistake…

enjoyed the winter solstice by going out and shovelling the sidewalk…

also took a few photos while I was outside…

last night there was just a skiff of snow so I decided to clean the sidewalk… I hadn’t done it for a few little snowfalls and as I worked away at it I realized that was a mistake…

some of it was acting a bit like cement and was rather difficult to remove…

good thing I didn’t need to do the driveway 🤪…

clamp…

well, it took most of the day, but I got the obelisk put together;-)…

started first thing in the morning… put a couple of layers together and then made a mistake and couldn’t remove a pipe that was stuck… left it and kept thinking about it… was really missing my beloved… he had the strongest hands and that was what I needed…

eventually I remembered the clamp that is attached to the workbench in the garage…

after using cloth, the clamp and pliers, I was able to separate two of the pieces… finally was able to add a piece upside down and connect the remaining pieces together…

looks great;-)… hoping for a few warmer days so I can set it into the pot on the deck… the morning glories are going to look great on it…

way to go me…
