Magnificent colourful display at The Market Garden in Victoria.
The shop is quite unique and has many wonderful items from around the Globe.
As soon as you enter the front door you are totally transported...
it feels very European.
The displays are works of art.
I love to shop here and I never EVER leave empty handed!
Mr. HB is busy harvesting his home grown tomatoes...
so sweet and flavourful.
He grows some varieties in his greenhouse,
the larger ones are grown in big pots outdoors.
These peppers should be yummy...
We've had a bumper crop of cucumbers this summer.
Eating a colourful variety of fruits and veggies is good for our health.
Paying extra attention to my consumption of food these days.
Particularly my food choices.
With osteoarthritis and a future hip replacement
I am working on eliminating inflammatory foods.
They seem to exacerbate my pain.
I don't like to use aspirin or Tylenol on a regular basis.
Bought a stationary bike as per my surgeon's instructions.
Am riding 30 minutes everyday.
He told me that the fitter I am before the surgery means a faster recovery.
I pop my laptop on the stand and watch while pedalling.
It helps to keep my mind occupied while I am working out!
Lot's going on here with my decluttering too...
free stuff on the boulevard
things to the charity shops and a few better vintage items sold to a local shop.
The limelight hydrangeas are changing their colours for the season.
The rose shade adds interest and depth.
Most of the blooms will stay on the plants to over winter for the pollinators.
I've dried a bunch already and have them on display on the porch.
Most of those are a sepia shade...
Alum is supposed to help the hydrangeas keep their colour and form.
I dipped the stems in the powder and popped them in an inch of water...
fingers crossed.
Orange is a colour that I associate with October...
leaves change their colour
festive pumpkins grow.
There is so much beauty in nature during Autumn...
it is so wonderful to be outdoors breathing the crisp fresh air.
I've been foraging outdoors in our garden.
Need to take a walk to the local cemetery where large Pine and Fir cones are found.
Where the leaves have fallen and generously carpet the paths...
I might hear an Owl or see the local Deer.
Perhaps I will visit the family graves.
Thanksgiving is almost here in Canada...
we'll be celebrating with two dinners.
One with our son, girlfriend, and the grandchildren.
Another with our daughter and her husband.
Feeling grateful for our family.
There is so much to be thankful for...
Well that's it for now...
hopefully you'll stay tuned for another post.
I appreciate you popping by The Humble Bungalow Blog!
