seemed like the outside was front and centre today…
woke up early to a strange noise outside and when I went out to see what it was, discovered that the pond was nearly empty…
spent the next 45 minutes topping it up…
as I was backing down the driveway looked to my right and spotted this guy snacking on the neighbour’s lawn…
I must have sat there for five minutes watching… fun start to the day… I do love bunnies…
by the school, as I was waiting for the light to change, I watched a couple of kids waiting to cross the street going to the school… summer school, maybe…
as I drove up to the house at the end of the day I discovered this on my front step…
didn’t move while I went back to the car to get the phone to take a picture… sat there while I took out the garbage, recycling and yard waste… four trips back and forth… didn’t move…
finally sauntered off the step when I opened the door from the inside to see if there was any mail… apparently that carpet is cozy…
been watching the squirrels fight over the feeder for the last few hours… they are unable to share, so one tosses the other off every few minutes, lol… not clear to me if the same one is always the one left…

busy, camera + app, crumby day, loose siding, planter, rainy, visitor, windy
was windy and rainy all day long… didn’t help much with energizing me to get stuff done…
spent a good part of the day in front of the TV, reading and packing a few more things into the suitcase…
went out to the garage and potted up the new planter I bought… it was raining a bit at the time, so I didn’t want to work on it in the front yard… then after it was filled with rocks and soil and plants, I managed to move it slowly to the front and got right to the steps but couldn’t find a way to get it up where I wanted it…
so it is sitting at the bottom of the steps waiting for my son-in-law to come by tomorrow and move it up…
planter waiting to move to its new home…
while I was out there I checked the side of the house, because since yesterday afternoon I’ve been hearing noises from outside the bedroom… the first time I heard them I thought something had got into the attic… but as the evening went on I realized that it was likely loose siding… and it was…
siding flapping in the wind…
then I got a couple of pictures of another new bird visitor I spotted a few days ago… it was so windy that it fell of the top of the bench while I was taking its picture with the new iPhone camera+ app…
new bird visitor…
looking forward to a busy couple of days before leaving…
