We went into town to vote!

It was a lovely morning.

It was even more lovely when I took some Advil and put some cream on my sore back.


 I planted a few more bulbs, as well as some rhizomes. I'll never remember what I planted, so here is the order! I don't plan my garden. It's more fun to be surprised in the spring...
Are you that kind of gardener?

On the road into Perth, the leaves never fail to amaze!


Do you think we need a ring road? He took the wrong road, trucks shouldn't be on this street. sigh.


You can see how many homeowners do a wonderful job on their decor.


The ivy is so lovely. We had ivy like this on our house in Toronto, when I was a kid. A huge, well-established ivy with leaves twice the size of my hand.



I'm ready for it to be over. I do not know how people in the US tolerate their long lead up to their elections. I'm about done! One spends so much time sifting through the misinformation and lies. Even the NDPs are doing it to the Greens.


Our son-in-law has been on TV, and has done lots of debates. He's very good at it!

I held a Town Hall at the Minto #Barrhaven Recreation Complex on October 2nd, among the many questions asked - small business came up. https://t.co/nZnxdj4MEk pic.twitter.com/jeXteGVyRy

Here we are. This is the first day of the advance polls. Many people, quite a few with walkers, were there to vote. All of us retirees! I heard them talking inside, and they said that in the morning there was a queue that stretched right out the front door. I'm happy we waited until chores were done in the afternoon.  Election day is Oct. 21st.


Then, we toddled on over to the library and drug store.


These are all drive-by shootings. I spotted the porch, the sun was low, but the next photo shows that they are ready for Hallowe'en! Isn't that fun?


Despite what my former girlfriend says, it is a lovely town.


We went home, it was 4 p.m., at this point, then took off around 5. Hubby promised dinner out. I'm fighting a cold, as well as my back. It was a nice treat. As we passed through our front gate, there was a turkey on the driveway. We have one in the fridge, ready for Saturday dinner.


Off to CC's for dinner.

Bulb order

What was I thinking?
Well, I know what I was thinking. They provide lovely photos of these flowers, and I so love spring. Well, all the seasons. They write of 'naturalizing,' and I thought a carpet of bulbs. It goes so green and then brown, in normal years.
The pop of colour will be good. I need some physical work to do, too. Great getting dirt under those fingernails.
It's a large front lawn.
Then, I went back to Hillside Gardens and bought 30 more daffodils. It will be pretty in spring. You can see where they will be. This is a non-mental note for spring! I put the smaller ones in the garden off the front deck. I usually forget what it was I planted last. We shall see! I filled the big holes with top soil, in some cases, then covered each plot with a bit of leftover straw.

This is what I anticipate!
