Decorating for Thanksgiving 2020

Image
 Our Canadian Thanksgiving is in one week. Due to COVID, we won't be having a Thanksgiving family dinner this year, but I did some decorating anyway. This Thanksgiving will be different in another way also, as one of our Grandsons is getting married during the same weekend. Due to our Provincial rules, they are only allowed 10 guests The wedding will be held in his parents' back yard so another 10 of us will be seated in the yard next door to see the ceremony.+ It has been almost 2 years since I  last posted. Sometimes life events get in the way!

Halloween window

I like Halloween to be fun..no tombstones, witches, ghouls, or ghosts. ...And the carved pumpkins should look cheerful. The little kids who came by tonight smiled ...no terror!

Winnipeg in Bloom - Sept 19, 2018

Image
Some years we have had a killing frost by this date, but today these gardens are stunning. Photos just don't do it justice! The groundskeepers were still busy watering, trimming, and replacing worn sod. I have never seen such fine edging!

What's Blooming Now

Image
Cooler days of fall often intensify the colors of our annuals, even though many have begun to produce seeds instead of flowers. I am still enjoying this arrangement in two planters,  I plant a mandevilla vine  each year especially in memory of my Mom, who so admired  that plant. I am loving succulents, and they seem to suit their terra cotta pots. Hoping that we have a late frost!
