early Saturday morning I went out to cover the garden furniture with a tarpaulin before the rain started…
it took a while, but eventually I got it all covered and also moved all the rocks that had come out of the pond…
now the garden is ready for winter…

used the tarp from the extra wood to cover the lawn furniture on the back deck…
didn’t take long at all with two people…
it is a really large tarpaulin so we tucked all the excess under the legs…

spent Tuesday in the garden… the first part on the deck reading in the sunshine…
there was no wind, so I was able to flatten out and fold up the tarpaulin…
then I moved to the back deck and did a bit of reading before starting to remove the last of the leaves and water from the pond with the wet vac… it took a number of trips to get it done… but, I did it, yay…
next, I found the hose, hooked it up and started the water running… finally I hooked up the pump and finished filling it…
so happy when the waterfall started up… worth all the work…
what a treat to sit, watch and listen to the sound;-)…
garden season has begun…

the kids stopped by and brought me some Halloween candy…
they fixed a problem with the printer and then stacked and covered the outdoor chairs and tables with another large tarpaulin… too bad the tarps aren’t the same colour, lol… the job went very smoothly…
they work so much more quickly than I do, lol…
the top deck is cleaned off and now there is more space in the kitchen where the footstool and cushions for one of the chairs were… the cushions have moved into the garage for the winter…
every step is helpful…
