barbecue, flowers, fresh veggies, lovely day, market, moon, more nature, quiet morning, Shelmerdine, star filled sky, storm

had a quiet morning around the house… actually put away all the glass balls from the Champagne Bubble Party…

we had a storm which started with lots of thunder and then the sky opened and it poured for maybe ten minutes… watched some TV and made myself a few things to eat…

waiting to move the car seat...

waiting to move the car seat…

then Crystal and the little boys came, transferred the car seat to my car and we went for a wander through Shelmerdine’s where we enjoyed some fall flowers and checked out mulch and many pumpkins… came across a colleague who looked stunning, having just been to a wedding out that way…

there weren’t very many folks around so the little people ran about checking out all the pumpkins and the trees and bushes…

we went to the market garden and picked up some lovely fresh veggies… we got corn on the cob, peas, yellow and green beans, green onions, garlic, tiny and medium sized potatoes, cauliflower and radishes…

when we got home we put a little roast on the barbecue and prepared yellow beans, corn, potatoes and a caesar salad for our dinner… it was lovely… sadly the littlest person is going through the no meat phase, although both of his brothers went down that path long before he did… while the roast and potatoes were just finishing the propane ran out on the barbecue so Jeff put a new tank on… should I have the desire to barbecue, there will be fuel, lol…

after supper we read a book and then everyone went home and I had a little nap… when I got up the moon was smiling at me through the tree and I took a couple of pictures…

moon through the tree...

moon through the tree…

since then I have been in the hot tub and enjoyed watching a beautiful star filled sky…

what a lovely day…

planting…

baskets, big girl pants, car stuffed, hydrangeas, planting, set plants in the space, Shelmerdine, shrub

got up and headed to Shelmerdine’s to get there right after they opened…

wanted some baskets to set in pots to fill up some of the empty space around the new pond area…

after talking with a very helpful woman I bought a shrub and a number of smaller plants to fill in the area…

had a lot of fun… barely stuffed everything into the car… then I stopped at Paterson’s and bought two more baskets, lol…

got home and had to dig out the hydrangeas, which have been dying… likely because they don’t like full sun, sigh…

set the new plants in the garden and have left them until tomorrow to be sure they are in the right spots… don’t want to have to plant them more than once…

callas, Canadian Tire, chores, Costco, dinner, homemade caramel sauce, not so quiet, Safeway, seaweed salad, Shelmerdine, truffle oil

well, was planning on staying home and not doing much today, but that didn’t happen…

did a few chores around the house between TV shows and had a nap in the morning…

callas...

callas…

then got a call from my sister-in-law, who was in town for the weekend from Calgary, and we visited Shelmerdine, Canadian Tire, Costco, Safeway and then to my nephew’s house for barbecued steak dinner… it was wonderful to wander through Shelmerdine and see, smell and touch all the gorgeous plants…

steak, roasted potatoes with truffle oil and seaweed salad...

steak, roasted potatoes with truffle oil and seaweed salad…

not gonna lie, the seaweed salad wouldn’t be my top choice… we did finish dinner off with homemade banana bread covered with caramel sauce… yum…

homemade caramel sauce...

the end of the homemade caramel sauce…

I just got home and finally called my son-in-law in BC to wish him a happy anniversary… I spoke with Cyndi fairly early this morning, but with all the running around didn’t get to speak with him until now… looking forward to seeing both of them very soon…

heading to bed, not even sure I will have a hot tub tonight…

hopefully tomorrow will be a bit quieter, and warmer, although if there hadn’t been any wind today it would have been quite warm…
