Day 324

I guess I am going to have to accept that patio season is finally over.  :(

Day 319

And the scrapping season begins.

Day 315

We have had heavy, torrential rain for what seems like forever.  Today the sun was out.  It was gorgeous.  Especially today in a city that has a strong tie to the Navy.

Day 311

The beginnings of a spicy soup.

Day 310

Another dreary day.  At least it is warm, but the whole city is wondering when this rain will stop.  The faithful dog walkers out there are wondering even more.

Day 305

I may have miscalculated the number of kids this year.  I have lots of leftovers that will get me through the long stretch before the Christmas chocolates are out.

Day 304

Callum did not like being a football.  I think my brother's heart broke a little.

Day 303

The witch stopped by for a visit.  She was probably texting when the broom went down.

Day 302

2 more days of willpower and then they will be the neighbours' problem.

Day 301

It is raining out and the leaves are falling. It is days from Halloween.  I should be searching for a warm scarf.  Well, it hit the high teens today.  I pulled out the sandals.

Day 300

I never thought I would make it to day 300.  It is all down hill from here!  Of course that hill is scattered with wet leaves making it very easy to slip and fall.

Day 299

Who would put two skulls in front of a big blow up ghost?  A desperate housewife, possibly?

Day 288

I guess this was a warning of the weather.  Holy crap did it rain this afternoon.

Day 287

Having a beach sign next to a changing colour tree is just cruel.

(My artistic take on this was that the sign is blurry as the thoughts of going swimming are getting further and further away.  Totally planned it.  Ah huh)

Day 285

I have an alibi, I swear.

Day 284

Happy Thanksgiving!

Day 282

My boys.

Day 281

It isn't a good sign that the stuff marked intensive and rescue is being used before Thanksgiving.  I will be one big skin flake by Christmas.

Day 279

Kind of early for Halloween decorations.  I will give it a pass since they just moved in and are probably excited about the new house.

Day 278

These flowers are mocking me!  I planted them in the spring and with my fabulous gardening skills they died instantly.  All summer, through every bbq, brunch, or drinks on the deck someone commented that the planter would be a great place for flowers.  I should have kept the receipt from the gardening store, laminated it, and then put it on a stick in the planter.

This weekend, the first weekend in October, the flowers bloomed.  It is too late in the season to invite anyone over for any kind of anything on the deck.  Besides my dedicated readers, no one will ever see these flowers.
