I think our backyard is finally pretty much cleaned up.  Now, to get some flowers for our pots in front and back to brighten things up, and get some vegetables planted in the side raised beds.  It’s like summer arrived yesterday in all its glory!

Here are a few pictures from the backyard after we finished up yesterday.

Notice the stone birdbath – we moved that over from our rental house when we sold it earlier this year, and have finally put it in place in the yard.  We originally got this birdbath in Regina when we lived there, so it’s been with us a long time!

Also with us a long time is that stove we moved from the rental in January, and before that from Regina (it originally belonged to Kevin’s mom and dad).  Kevin had the brilliant idea to put a metal pot on top of it and fill it with water, so it is going to become another birdbath!

This stove we got on Used Victoria – and the tubs too!  I love the garden at this time of year!!

Here are some of the things we saw while we were out and about yesterday.

I don’t know what this is actually called, but it is like a bar on multiple spinning bikes that cruises wrecklessly through traffic with it’s riders usually singing ribald (nice word, eh?) songs…

This was my 365 picture for yesterday, for the theme “Old School”.  I just thought it was a perfect opportunity shot!

When we parked to buy soap downtown, we wandered down an alley we hadn’t wandered down before.  I love these alleys with all the bricks.  Of course, the extra 2 minutes meant we also got a parking ticket (since we hadn’t bothered to plug the meter, thinking we would only be a couple of minutes).  Didn’t see any parking enforcement anywhere – they ARE ninjas!

And here are the final big balls of flowers on our front shrub.  It has taken over now, and these flower balls are dripping everywhere!  Soon it will be a big mess, and then it will be a memory…until next spring.

To kick off the long weekend (here in Canada, eh?), here are some random photos from a work-walk this week…
