Fall Colours on the Island

I took a few photos around the neighbourhood to share the beautiful fall colours I am seeing here. We are taking Jax on walks most days and he loves the new scenery.  Already meeting some of our new neighbours, having coffee with a very nice couple today. I think we will see much more of them in the future.

Building a Basement/Fall @ Sask Beach

Journalizing the Build

Week of Sept 24 to 30, 2017

The basement forms are going up. It’s interesting to see how the forms are built around the existing rock on the lot. The weather has been good on the Island so the work is moving right along.

Back in Regina we are moved out of the house! So much family stuff packed and loaded for the cross country trek from the prairies to the island. It was a big job but we had a lot of family help. Thanks to everyone!

We are staying with Kyla and Andre and I am so happy to spending some time here with them out at Saskatchewan Beach. The fall colours are amazing! Brian and Matthew visited us yesterday for supper and the night ended with bonfire. Today Jim and Andre are in Regina and I am here alone in the beautiful cabin. As I write I am sitting beside the dining room window enjoying the fall views.

Misty morning at Kyla and Andre’s.

We will be leaving for John’s place in Airdrie on October 7 and are looking forward to  spending some time with the family there.

Fall on the Prairies

The move is not far away now, we are renting a sea can from Big Steel Box, it’s arriving Friday Sept 22nd (next weekend) and will be picked up again Monday Sept 25th. We have to be ready with everything packed and all the loose ends tied off! Jim and I are working frantically to accomplish this.

One of the things which we needed to do is take the Harley out to storage. It’s too late for Jim to ride it out to the island (we don’t have enough time and there is already snow in the mountains in BC) so we need to store it in Saskatchewan until next summer.

On Wednesday we took the bike out to our storage unit in Lumsden.  On the way decided to take in the fall views and stop by Lincoln Gardens Farmers Market.  Checking out the market is something we have done in the fall for years and we won’t get much opportunity to do it again before we leave for the coast. As usual it was a lovely day!

We picked up a few veggies and then on to the storage unit. I will miss this for sure. A nice day and now Jim’s bike is tucked in for the winter.
