spent some time in the garden today…

weather was very nice… it was warm, but there was a lovely breeze which kept it cool…

cleaned out the planters around the deck and watered the remaining baskets…

then emptied and refilled the hot tub…

I think the Snow Birds flew out of the city, because there were three batches of jets that left in twos and threes, making a lot of racket… by the time I had my camera out the third batch were leaving and they weren’t visible… they were the red and white of the Snow Birds but I hadn’t heard that any events were on in the area…

while I was making my dinner, a great gaggle of geese flew over and again I didn’t have time to get the camera and take a picture…

i have been hearing the geese daily for the last while as they head out to the fields for their last feeds before heading south…

here’s a picture of the geese that I took last year about this time…

geese in the Park, September 2012…

just realized that last year at this time I was on my last few days of sick leave, following my surgery, before getting back to work…

I spent the majority of the summer in the back yard recuperating… what a difference a year makes…
