Summer in October!

Happy Sunday everyone! Another gorgeous morning on the deck...this Summer weather just keeps on coming. We are on track for a high of 30 Celsius today 🌞 We'll take it!

This past week was good...how bad can it be when the weather is so beautiful. It puts everyone in such a fantastic mood. We got a lot of walks in by the lake and our boys happily brought home twigs and leaves. It's that time of year 🍂

Russell and I have started our Fall yard work. We're not done yet but we made good progress. The leaf blowing season is in full force in Beaconsfield...we're allowed to use this wonderful tool from October 1 to May 31. At this time of year, it makes for a quick clean up of the yard when the leaves start falling. 

The Montreal Canadians season starts this coming Wednesday. I look forward to some exciting games. On that topic, the electronic tickets for our November 15 game have arrived! I can't wait. We will make a weekend out of it and stay in Montreal overnight. 

Merlot & Sherlock are doing well. They are very happy now as the squirrels are darting around in the backyard, busy hiding their Winter stash. We have two determined boys sprinting up and down the deck stairs all day long, tails wagging and eyes locked on those little critters. They haven't caught any since last Winter though. That's a good thing.

We were reflecting last night on how quickly our munchkins settle down when we have guests over. Sure, they get excited at first but within minutes, they are as calm as can be. A huge improvement from months ago. We saw it again yesterday when our friends Paul & Marie came over for drinks. It was a lovely afternoon, sharing some stories and good laughs. Happy Anniversary guys! 

That's my blog for this first Sunday of October. Enjoy the photos and a short after dinner play video. Have a wonderful week!


These two relaxing in total comfort
on the deck on what else, our chairs?


Caption this...what is the look
that Sherlock is giving while sitting
at the breakfast table?


If there is a table on the deck then it's available 
to sit on and Merlot has claimed this spot.


Guess which end is which....
are they coming or going?


On the alert....and fully stacked


The Lake was very calm on our morning walk.
