Yesterday turned out to be a great day, plus sixteen celsius!  The sun was warm, with the hint of a slight breeze in the fall air, a fabulous day.  Today they are forecasting plus eighteen for the high temp.
  Yesterday being a dry day, Susan and I managed to do a small repair on Derek and Michel's awning, and put it into it's travel/stored position.  This will be one less job for them to do when they come up at the end of the month.  For us it has been just relaxing and tidying up loose ends, things that do not really need to be done, but look better if they are done.  One less thing to worry about, or clean up in the spring.
  Susan got an update from our daughter Nicole in Calgary.  Apparently Mr Boots (the cat) is back to wearing the cone of shame, as Nicole calls it!  He had a run in with a cat in his neighbourhood, and now has an infection on his ear.  So he must wear this contraption to keep him from licking off his medication.  I call it the cone of silence!  Crazy cat!  Now he just sits and stares out the window! Waiting for the day when he can once again run free, and patrol his territory!!
  Susan has to leave for the big city around ten this morning.  She has to stop at home to get ready for her job in the city.  Me, I have a T-time with a group of us at eleven-0-four for today and we have the remainder of the week booked as well!  Today's forecast is for sunshine, and a temp of sixteen degrees Celsius at eleven.  So lets hope this holds true.  This afternoon if things go as planed, I will get my two trees transplanted.  Then I can check a couple more things off of my list that need to be done, at Building the Simple life.........................
