I got my butt in gear. I've changed out some decor for Fall.
The fishies are doing well, although I think the bullfrogs are still eating the little froggies.
I rather think this leopard frog ate a smaller frog. Look at that belly!
I've had success slowly filling the aquarium. We're still in a drought situation. I'm being prudent. The pump is working, and this morning it was 7 ℃, although the days warm up. I have to be strategic. Normally, I have to drain the pond some to get the stubborn fish in. I look for a rain storm to refill it after I drain it. That hasn't been happening.
People drive by fairly quickly on the highway. Still, I put my old sewing machine out there. Nothing happened for a couple of days. I was out removing red ribbons and putting up the orange for fall when a young man stopped, and looked at it. He didn't see me until he was about to leave, without the sewing machine. He explained that he didn't have $30 on him. I told him to just take it. He seemed quite happy and toodled off with one more thing off of my mind!
I had a quick chat with Jordan, having a blast at Queen's. He texted me about the date of Grampa's grad year, 1972! They have wonderful young people, who welcome the new kids. There are lots of activities.
Kingston Market Day on Saturday.
It's been a tough summer, with kids growing up and away. I am glad I have things to keep me busy. I'm watching a new TV Series after my chores are done. Joe found me a good one, Hotel Portofino. It takes me away from the horrific news, and the scenery is lovely. It is set in 1926 Italy. Most of the photography is from Rijeka, Lovran, and Rovinj, Croatia. With some actually filmed in Portofino, Italy in 2021.
It's a variation on Downton Abbey, I read. There are lots of themes, Post-war Italy, fascism, errant husbands, and family money.
Have a great Tuesday.
