Spider webs adorn the Humble Bungalow Garden.
They are woven throughout and one needs to be mindful when walking :-((
Our zinc planter has some new plants...
the geraniums had faded and were getting leggy
so I zipped off to the garden centre and grabbed these foliage plants.
Black Mondo Grass and Dusty Miller.

These may quite possibly be the last roses of the season that we bring inside.
The garden is settling into a long winter slumber...
I have candles at the ready...
they add fragrance and much needed warmth and a cozy ambiance.
I have looked at many many shops for boots...
thought that I was destined to have wet feet
until
I spied these serious rain boots at Mouats on Salt Spring Island.

I bought some thick socks to wear with them and they are so comfy!
I have been wearing them this past weekend on Pender.
The thrifted (repaired) backpack made its first voyage on the ferry to the cottage!
This is an excellent book...
it centres around an interesting character and flashes back to the Japanese internment.
Set in BC and Ontario
written by a very talented author.
I read her book Deafening years ago and enjoyed it,
so when I saw this title and read the jacket cover I knew I needed to read it.
I also went to the bookstore and found several books!
I am amassing another small book stack
after "almost" catching up on all my reading :-))
There was an atmospheric river weather warning for the weekend...
I was prepared for a power outage but I think we must have been spared.
The views from the cottage this morning.
The activities here this week are centred around relaxation,
punctuated with scenic walks, reading and knitting.
When we arrived on Friday I popped into the Thrift Shop.
It is only open on Fridays now...
I bought this wee sugar bowl (missing the lid) for $1
I decided to pick some rosemary and add it to our tablescape.
Blue and White are a classic pairing and seem to mingle nicely with the cottage decor.
We walked along the Home Farm Trail and saw the Halloween Display...
lots of scary scenes
goblins, ghouls, ghosts, skeletons, witches...
will put together a wee post for my Instagram.
Have a safe and Fun Halloween.
