Outdoor chores!

 Cinnamon sure slows me down!

Autumn chores: washing windows before it is too cold, and water freezes on the window! With the sun lower on the horizon, it points out my work. OK, maybe today! There is to be a high of 24 C.!

Buckthorn berries, you'll find lots of these in raccoon poop!

I promised to explain my felting work. This package came from Amazon. I think, just like my other project, I'll do my own design. I can't quite form the petals.

Thank goodness for the translate function on my phone. The directions were less than spectacular.

Susie Homemaker, as my mom used to say. I managed to repair JB's jeans. I even had several jean patches in my sewing basket. All I can do is hint: 'liar, liar, pants on fire!'

The frogs are gathering in the goldfish pond. 

The colours are not as spectacular as some years. 

I spent the weekend working on outdoor projects. It's too early, but I figured out how to hang this bird feeder. Hopefully the bears stay away. They haven't appeared anywhere but in the forest all summer.

I did some of my spray painting for winter. It's a pretty harsh climate for metals!

Paint Party Friday: spray paint!

I did something a little different for Paint Party Friday! We had 44cm snow, and I was inspired by a Facebook photo. I cannot abide people stealing photos and posting without permission, so I won't post it.
I thought it fun on a warmish day! I would have done more, but the next day was too cold and the paint cans froze on me. I liked the clean, crisp line I made in my snowblower run. (We did the driveway three times, just to keep on top of it all. Total 44 cm (17"), and my shoulders are still sore.



Daisy is an ever-present buddy, she helped me fill the bird feeders, doing 'bear' as she sought out the noise of the snowblower. Hubby, doing the driveway in the morning! She followed me to the shed.
