today the three fish in the bathtub pond moved into their winter condo… one of the rocks that had been in that pond was also brought in to provide a tunnel for the fish…

the tanks have been filled and running since September 30th, although the biggest one has a lot of algae in it so these fish will be testing whether it is ready for inhabitants…

we will likely wait another week or so before moving the rest of the school…

so far, they appear happy;-)…

WE Day in Winnipeg… made for a lot of traffic around the office…

at one point in the afternoon the street was completely filled with school buses picking up sixteen thousand kids and taking them back to school… the logistics must be crazy… way to go…

when I got home I had a short rest and then made zucchini basil chicken soup for tomorrow’s Souper Thursday…

I really love my mandolin… it makes chopping the onion and zucchini quick and easy… this is the simplest soup to make and very tasty…

we all love the fact that on Thursday we only need to bring a little something to go with the soup that someone else is making…

jammies…

slept over at the kids’ and was up for a grade 5 farewell…


very well done celebration and it ended with cake and punch… someone had three pieces, lol… wonder how the rest of his day was… big brother even came along so he could see his former teachers… pretty good school when kids want to come back and visit…


squeezed a picture out of the family before they flew off in different directions…

after a bit of time in their backyard, was dropped at home where I had lunch and a nap… for my dinner I warmed up some risotto that a friend had brought to me a few days ago and made some coleslaw to go with it… 


was yummy…

then headed to a local soccer field to watch the oldest grandson play… looked like it might spit a bit so I took a rain jacket… 


good plan, because it poured for at least half of the game… but those kids just kept playing like troupers…


by the time it ended the sun was out and so were the mosquitoes…


when I got home I discovered that my shorts were very wet, so I changed into my jammies and made a pot of tea…

been a busy few weeks, but lots of fun…

zero…

cool day and overcast for a good portion of it but mid-afternoon the sun came out… still a biting wind though…

picked up at work by my daughter and we gathered up the rest of the family and went to Fun Days at their school…

kind of chilly but the little boys had fun…

 
 then I came home, having remembered, after a text and phone call, that I was supposed to be home at six for a friend to pick something up, oopsie… luckily they went out for dinner so were able to stop by on their way home…

since then, I’ve been bringing in plants and covering up the ones left outside, because the temperature is supposed to go below zero tonight…

 
not much room at the back door…

 pots in the sink…

  and on the dining room table… 

absolute craziness that it is supposed to freeze on the second last day of May…

beautiful moon tonight…

  
looking forward to the pictures I took with the camera…

been a long day and I am going to bed right now…
