Happy Halloween to MindSay and all you 'sayers out there!

Hope you took the time to respond to the survey being done by Adam and Brian - always helpful to give them feedback!

The garden today is somewhat soggy, it started raining here a little after 8:00 am while I was out walking with Keisha, our Jack Russell Terrier, who wasn't too pleased with getting wet.
The weather network suggests that the rain will clear up well before the kids are ready to head out Trick or Treating.

Current Temperature: 8 C , ( 47 F) Barometer 101.9 and steady
Humidity: 93%, Winds out of the Southwest at 22 km/h

We were blessed with beautiful weather this weekend. Just what we needed to get work done without too much difficulty. The main structure, an old arbour that was once part of a larger greenhouse has finally been removed allowing much more light to reach the main vegetable garden area. Part of the structure has been relocated to our laneway and with the addition of some privacy lattice, hinges and a gate we'll have a lovely functional entrance to the garden serving several additional duties as privacy screen, storage bench and arbour.

Had planned to stain it today but I'll have to wait for the humidity to drop a bit!

Today is a great day to share more of my fall colour shots with you; still haven't mastered a smaller version of my slideshow so I'll post them here individually;

Another jack o lantern, this one with a reflection

A few of our garden companions.

A mixed planting - this clump consists of several plants, planted fall 2004.


You may have guessed these are my favourites - Red Chrysanthemum

Yellow Chrysanthemum - note the different petal shape.

White Chrysanthemum - Pom Pom

A pretty maple tree getting a bright new coat of colour.

A Traditional Canadian Maple - the kind the city likes to plant.

Japanese Maple displays colour through most of the year.

Our Birch Tree Gone Golden

Here's a nice mix up of trees and colours.





Colour is, of course, the main focus for all these pics with Fall being the theme!
I'll share some pics of our "BEST" trick or treaters later in the week! (Won't those little gouls & their parents be surprized!)
