finally got the net down to protect the pond from all the falling leaves…

we ordered netting online awhile ago and I had some landscape pins which we used to fasten it around the pond… I had to remove ones that were holding down a drip hose around the main deck because I have managed to misplace the box which has at least twenty-five more pins in it, sigh…

it was an interesting process as we figured out the best spots to attach it… my housemate did most of the work, but I did help…

so happy that we can still traverse the bridge without having to walk on the net…

it is the perfect length so that we didn’t have to go back and forth across the water to cover the whole thing… it doesn’t even look too bad…

and, of course, since then, hardly any leaves have fallen, lol…

saw some lovely flower displays on my walk yesterday…

this house looked nice with the lovely manicured flowerbeds…

I often take a photo of this display that looks pretty throughout the entire summer…

and these flowers made me think more about changing out the grass in the front yard…

today I added a couple of books to my stair library…

picked them up at a Little Free Library on my morning walk…

both are from some of my favourite authors;-)…

this was a new-to-me library as I took a slightly different route today…

ten years ago I was floating over Gatineau in a hot air balloon… along with dozens of other balloons;-)…

I’d been waiting over twenty years for this experience… for my fortieth my beloved bought us tickets to fly at home, but the company ran away with the money…

it was everything I imagined and a very special moment in my life… the memory continues to be bright;-)…

went for a ride on one of the Winnipeg Waterways Tour boats yesterday morning…

while we waited to board, saw some ducks and geese and had to take a few pics, lol…

our driver, Pete, shared lots of interesting facts, many I wasn’t aware of, as we travelled along the Assiniboine and Red rivers…

it was fun to see some of the city landmarks from the water…

I was happy to get a few nice photos of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights…

and this one from the back of it…

a lovely treat;-)…

went for a walk around the neighbourhood Friday morning…

was surprised at the huge stacks of sod I spotted at one point, lol… could not figure out where it was all going to go…

lots of flowers and a few people along the way, but no books of interest at either of the Little Libraries I passed…

the weather was lovely though, and I collected a few Poke balls;-)…

have added sweeping the stepping stones to my morning routine…

the darn birds and bunnies continue to have dust baths and since I have been barefoot outdoors for the last while, the clumps of dirt are irritating my feet, lol…

this memory came up in my feed on Thursday… it was from a year ago and clearly the tomatoes were ripe and nearly ready to eat…

this one is from the garden this Thursday…

obviously these ones are quite a ways behind, lol…

beautiful, big girl pants, blessed, corms, dahlias, flowers, garden, happy, hues, Lilystone Gardens, moments, nature, pink, plants, purple, surprise, treat, weather, white, widow

I have been so excited…

for a number of years, I’ve been overwintering dahlia corms, but haven’t had tons of luck… sometimes I know what they are and other times they are a surprise when they get put away…

one white one has proven very prolific and it has produced at least a dozen blooms so far this year in three different pots…

these are about the size of my palm…

a delightful feathery one that I purchased last year at Lilystone Gardens has come back nicely and has a number of blooms and buds in one pot…

each bloom is bigger than my hand…

these have all been white so I was particularly excited to see one come up in a pot that looked like it was pinky/purple…

it is a bit smaller than the white pompom-looking ones, but stands out in all its pink and purple hues…

nature is so amazing…
