Ross of Ottawa
Ross of OttawaAn hour and a half into a pie-making session. Into the home stretch.
I am not on my game today, easily forgetting things that need attention. But no tragedies and pie elements are almost ready for assembly and bake.

Ross of OttawaJumping into a fish-pie making effort. This'll take up the remaining afternoon, and make a good mess no doubt.

Ross of OttawaFun when a random fave alert brings one of your old toots back to your attention, and reminds you that you actually got some stuff done last year.
This short thread reminds me that I got three raised beds in shape in spring, including building two from scratch, one a raised pond with plumbing and perennial plants.

Ross of OttawaI found a finished result view in the corner of another pic. This is a low-res crop of how it ended up in July with plantings and fish in place:

Ross of OttawaAbout 10cm of snow overnight, and with 0°C this morning, I assume it's going to be wet and heavy to shovel.
I hear the unusual number of precipitation events this year is leaving our provincial transport officials with depleted road salt supplies.
Ross of OttawaUntil this US insanity got going, I hadn't realized that Americans have their own pronunciation of "Greenland."
Both the crazies and the normies there seem to say "GREEN-lund." rather than GREEN-land.
I guess it's similar to what some do to "Newfoundland" which gets mangled into new-FOWND-lund and NEWF-in-lund.
If you're near a Newfoundlander when someone says that they'll immediately correct them with newf-in-LAND! rather assertively.

Ross of OttawaSure seems like a windy autumn/winter this year.
Weather warning issued for this evening: "potential for wind gusts of 70 to 90 km/h"
Looks like I picked the wrong evening to sort my collection of tissue paper and feathers on the back deck.

Ross of OttawaWhew, we're into that high winds portion of the evening. Hope the trees hold up.

Ross of OttawaHad a nice thaw today, and tomorrow gets up to six or seven Celsius, with some rain too.
It should do well to clean away ice and snow remnants on the driveway and path. Will need to be careful walking tomorrow–lots of splash risk. :(
