BOOHOO !! we didn't get to see the Harvest Blood Moon last night as the thick clouds rolled in . Oh well . I saw photos of it over the internet and from the weather channel it was beautiful .
Any who , I cant believe it was the last weekend of September already . Papa and I had lovely weather and were out side all weekend . Saturday Papa was in his work shop with the doors wide open cleaning it up and organizing it and I puttered about . Papa had lots of extra bits and pieces of wood to be burned so we had a camp fire going .
The trees leaves are changing some are already changed and naked whilst others are half and half .
Over the weekend we had a few private small aircraft fly over . There are a lot of these small aircraft clubs in this area, some fly newer ones and others fly the vintage aircraft .
Sunday Papa and I were busy re building our wood sheds for our wood piles . Papa strengthened the frames and put sheet metal he gets from work on the sides and for a roof to keep the wood dry later he will tarp the front so it is easy to get to .
I helped by being the gopher of the tools he needed and the screws and what not lunch and refreshments lol !
This is one of the wood sheds behind my potting shed , Papa has one behind is tool and tractor shed to and we have two opposite them in front of the hedges with the walkway in between ! We still have some tidying up and lots of log splitting to do but it will get done before the next season of W .. I wont say it nope not yet lol !!!
Some of the wood back here we had to move to build these and I got some to start the Chiminea and get it going for the day to enjoy the smell and sound of it crackling . Papa and I have a standing joke between us cause I am a burn it type of person I love to have a fire going out side when we are working or just relaxing and it helps to get rid of the pieces of wood that aren't good for the inside wood stove and my favourite tool to get the out side fires going is a small canister blow torch Papa always jokes about me and my little blow torch lol !
We have the camping fire pit out in the yard but I love this Chiminea . We have it far enough from the patio porch to sit and enjoy yet not to far to feel its heat on a cool fall day !.
My knee is feeling better however Miggs still cant run like she used to as her knee is still a bit sore but she is doing better .
So that was our weekend !
Some of our bushes and plants are still thriving so we have left them for now.
Today is a rainy on and off day , Miggs and I just came back from our walk as it started to get drizzly .
Hoping for a bit of sun this afternoon then over night possible thunderstorms .
Until next time .

Sounds like you had a busy week working with the wood shed. I love your cute Miggs, I hope he continues to heal. I would like one of Chimneas for my yard, they look nice. Have a happy day and new week ahead!
Glad your knee is improving adn Miggs is geting betteralso. your husband was VERY busy this weekend adn I am sure he appreciated all the cups of tea.
Hi Elaine. You have a good supply of wood to keep you warm this winter. I know it takes a lot of work to get it ready but it's so worth it. We don't have wood heat but wish we did as it's so cozy and warm and I'm so cold all the time. Our weather has been beautiful and it's 25 here this afternoon! I'm lapping it up for those colder days to come. Haha. Have a great day and week.
A lot for you to do as the fall goes along!
The sky was clear in Ottawa for the first part of the eclipse- but the clouds moved in just as the last sliver was visible. We did get a brief glimpse though of the full eclipse when the clouds parted briefly.
Well, it looks like you'll be cozy and warm this wi..... haha! I know what you mean. Just the thought, eh! :( Love the shot of Miggs. Gorgeous photo. Deb
What a busy and productive weekend for you! Glad your knee is better, and will hope that Miggs soon catches up to you! Also sorry you missed the eclipse, we're in the same club, we saw very little of it here -- Next time! :-)
Lovely photos Elaine, hope you get better soon as well as Miggs! We saw the blood moon here in BC, was an incredible site as well as a very clear sky.
Hope you have a wonderful week.
