The regular Sunday morning Frog Pond walk keeps us in touch with seasonal changes. Also see dogs of many shapes and sizes.

You could also imagine the Mumford Terminal with colourful sails similar to those back of the Central Library.

And in the evening imagine it a tiny bit brighter.

On our ramble we visited the Blue Building Gallery to see Sandra Brownlee’s gathering of words, and later came upon a tree spook.

Noticed: bad things happen to many traffic cones. Should we care? (We stand on guard for thy).

Do you dry your dahlias? Once they’re getting tired in a bouquet just hang them upside down ( I use clothes pins). Will look great with the everlastings all winter long. 🤔

Once I wrote a blog post about the delightful Venetian Night on the Arm that happens on Saturday evening. An often missed event.

First morning in the new cottage rental. Discovering the light. Playing house with the little pieces of decor brought from home.

Every day there is a new bowl of nasturtiums. And yesterday’s bowl fades. The story of life.

Hot day but no shade at the Mumford Terminal (huddle under that tree). @hfxtransit.bsky.social & Halifax Shopping Centre (the owners of the Terminal) don't seem to care. Across the parking lot Walmart puts up shade cloth to protect their plants.

It’s a very special house! Perfect for a young couple with dreams and a long ladder. 🤔

The moment to notice rhodos around town.

At our old house we had a view that included our rhododendrons AND Queen Mary II. For a short moment.

On our way home we paused to admire the Maud Lewis Memorial, and the 1968 power station in Lequille, based on an illustration in the Diderot Encyclopedia.
