HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all my Canadian Friends! I wish you all a great weekend, with lots of good food, friends and family!
Somehow Thanksgiving snuck right up on me, and if not for my mom (Grammie) I wouldn’t have even realized it! I have been CRAZY BUSY this week with anything and everything! There has been wall painting, door painting, housework, traveling to do errands, and yard work going on in my world! How was your week?
Since last week the view from my windows has changed dramatically. FALL has definitely arrived in Tootsie’s Gardens! Take a look:
The frost finished off my back yard gardens completely this week. I decided to get busy and take out the annuals. I also drained my fountain so that the frigid temps of the Alberta winter wouldn’t ruin the pump.
It sure does look depressed now…
Bland…Just not very Tootsie At all!
I still need to do some odd’s n ends in the back yard…clean and put the pots away and get some of the ick cleaned up. I also want to put protection over a few things before the winter comes…But for now…this is the scene in the back yard.
Last week, my hedge was still green and there was not much for damage to the front yard…but this week…the leaves have started to turn…don’t you just love the pretty colors??? They just look so warm…too bad they mean winter’s coming!
There are a few things missing from the front yard…I got busy and rid the garden of anything that was finished or frost killed…I am sure next week will bring another truck load of flowers out of the garden… For now, I will hang onto what I have left as long as I can!
Well….that’s it for me for today…I don’t want to make my post too terribly long…You guys need a chance to share too!!!
What’s happening in your Garden?
What are you waiting for???
GO!!!
Get your flaunt on!!!
You can link as many posts as you like…I don’t mind seeing lots!!!
Thank you all so much for all the wonderful comments about the old house this week... and WELCOME to all my new followers…and to those that loyally follow me and faithfully link in to this party…AND who are patient while waiting for me to FINALLY visit you…THANK YOU! I appreciate you more than you know.
Stay tuned Sunday/Monday for the next installment of “The 108 Year Old House” There is a LOT to share!
Happy Thanksgiving Canada!!! What are YOU thankful for?
Until Next Time... Happy Gardening!
*)*)*)… I am thankful for friends that turned into family, dreams that turned into reality, prayer requests that turned into comfort, and the likes that turned into love.

As many of you may have noticed, I have had a lot of trouble with my little site here the last week or so. When I went to post the party last week, I realized that I was totally locked out!!! Google messed up HUGE and it nearly cost me everything I have ever posted! It took me all week to finally get everything sorted out and get back up and running…I hope. There are still a few little kinks here and there that I need to iron out, but for the most part at least I can LOAD my site, and thankfully so can you!
In other news…we have had lots of cold wet weather here in my part of Alberta. There has been below freezing temperatures, and even some flakes of SNOW have fallen! Miraculously, my yard still looks pretty darn good for having been through so much dramatic weather! Take a look:
The beds still look GREAT!!! There have been a few casualties in this garden though…
My window boxes have seen much better days. I quit watering last week…I hate pulling things that still look good…lol
I am so amazed that with all the frost we have had, that everything is still so pretty!
I have a few ugly sights to deal with…Coleus does not like cold!
I usually go out every morning right after the frost falls and water it off to save my flowers. This year I have not done this once! It seems the Lobelia in the piano planter does not mind the cool weather.
It was dusk when I took these photos tonight. Just the right time to be able to see the colors POP! I am going to miss my pretty colors after I pull everything. Hopefully I will get time to do that this weekend!
Well….that’s it for me for today…I don’t want to make my post too terribly long…You guys need a chance to share too!!!
What are you waiting for???
GO!!!
Get your flaunt on!!!
You can link as many posts as you like…I don’t mind seeing lots!!!
Thank you all so much for being so patient with me through all of the confusion this week... and to those that faithfully link in to this party…AND who are patient while waiting for me to FINALLY visit you…THANK YOU! I appreciate you more than you know.
Stay tuned for a wonderful post about my meeting with the Mermaid!
Until Next Time... Happy Gardening!

Well….another week has come and gone in the garden. With Fall quickly approaching, I have stopped dead heading and feeding my plants, and have started to pull things that are not looking so wonderful anymore.
I am desperate to hold onto the summer blooms for as long as I possibly can, so I am still watering, and trying to hold off pulling anything for as long as possible. Last night marked the first frost of the season, and that means the it is only a matter of time before I have nothing left to share but memories.
In between bouts of this flu that has been plaguing me endlessly the last couple of weeks, I have managed to get a few things done in the gardens, and I have removed a lot. When the frost warning was issued, the kids and I rushed to put a few of the plants that I wanted to keep a bit longer into the greenhouse…
There wasn’t even room to move in there…just barely enough room to close the door! We managed to save them from the frost though, and that was the point!
If you look close, you can see where I have pulled a few things…can you see what has changed in the back since last we met?
The fence line is looking a little bare since I started getting rid of a few things…lots of the hanging baskets are gone for good…the frost didn’t seem to do too much damage last night, so this bed will be left for now…
Lots missing along the greenhouse. The warm temps of last week took a toll on some of the plants that were just starting to finish, so I tossed them out.
The hanging baskets on the shed are looking a little on the icky side after the frost, so they are going to be tossed today. Good thing I tend to plant a lot of pots…I see some fancy re-arrangements coming! lol
Well….that’s it for me for today…I don’t want to make my post too terribly long…You guys need a chance to share too!!!
What are you waiting for???
GO!!!
Get your flaunt on!!!
You can link as many posts as you like…I don’t mind seeing lots!!!
Thank you all so much for dropping in today, and to those that faithfully link in to this party…and who are patient while waiting for me to FINALLY visit you…also…I need to re-invent the clock to add a few extra hours…
THANK YOU!
Until Next Time... Happy Gardening!

I had HUGE plans for this week…the weather was wonderful, (seems we finally got summer) and there is so much a girl could do outside at this time of year…I was roaring to get going!
And then…
I got the stomach flu. So much for all my plans…forget about doing anything outside at all! I tried endlessly to write a couple of the posts I have been meaning to get done up and shared, but NO…I just could not get any of it done. In fact…this post is the most I have been able to do in three days! Fever, chills, nausea, upset stomach…I am the poster child of people who feel like crap!
I did manage to get a few shots together to share with you guys…so lets move away from the gross topic of the flu, and onto something much prettier!
Take a look:
This bed was getting to be a bit of a mess again…in spite of my efforts to thin things, it has become an overgrown eyesore…filled with chick weed….yes…I said the C word…ugh.
So…I got busy last week and I cleaned it right out. I put a couple of things in, but not all the way in. I left that thyme and the oregano in their pots…that way I can get in there and deal with the chick weed as it pops up…and as you can see here…it is already popping again!
I added a wisteria to the back of the bed, so it can hopefully hide the UGLY that resides ON the house itself…I hate all the cords and meters etc…
This is the view of that area of the house from a little way back…not bad…but you can sure tell that summer is almost gone.
My first bed…the one I built first in this yard, is still growing like it is June…things are HUGE in there…and there isn’t much for soil to be seen…(that’s a good thing)
This is one of the only spaces that isn’t showing signs of fall…
My “rust-ic Junkin bed” is looking a lot like fall is about to happen…I just hate how it’s fading away so fast.
From Far back, the entire yard still looks ‘okay’…I hope the weather treats us well until late in the fall…I am not looking forward to the first killing frost…That always breaks this gardener’s heart.
Until then…I will enjoy seeing this little guy every day in the gardens…I had never seen a hummingbird moth until I moved here…they are amazing! This is the second year for them here…they seem to enjoy swapping flowers with the little hummingbird that refuses to let me take his photo!
Well….that’s it for me for today…I don’t want to make my post too terribly long…You guys need a chance to share too!!!
What are you waiting for???
GO!!!
Get your flaunt on!!!
You can link as many posts as you like…I don’t mind seeing lots!!!
Thank you all so much for dropping in today, and to those that faithfully link in to this party…and who are patient while waiting for me to FINALLY visit you…also…it seems there are not enough hours in a day anymore...THANK YOU!
Until Next Time... Happy Gardening!

There were about 200 photos of my yard that I looked at to share today. I had 2 choices…I could show you the entire yard today, and bore you with the same old shots…OR I could share some shots of the fantastic blooms…so that I what I decided to do…Take a look:
My Zinnia decided to bloom FINALLY…I love the lime green color!
Another one of my Hydrangea is blooming!!! YAY!
The tiny cotton easter hedge that I planted this spring with Grampie (my dad) is doing VERY well indeed!!! I am so relieved…I thought it would struggle…NOW…I just need to get it through the winter!
VOLUNTEER Nicotana…just popped up two weeks ago…it must have seeded itself from last year…I didn’t plant any this year!
Last fall I took seeds off of a Fox Glove growing in a friend’s flower bed…It is so pretty with the purple and blue flowers!
My Rudbeckia is blooming!!! I plant them every year…and love the look of each bloom.
Another Rudbeckia…they are so pretty!

Frost has threatened Alberta this week…it is WAY too early if you ask me, but Mother Nature has her mind made up that our winter is more than likely going to be another LONG one.
I made it into the greenhouse…and FINALLY got my baby cleaned up a bit. I still need to go in and pressure spray everything down and make sure it is all clean and sparkling for the winter, but that will wait till I am ready to put the insulated floor back in.
The plants in there didn’t seem to mind that it was in a state of disarray for the last while…they are doing very well. It seems that they love the new fan that I put in there last month. Take a look:
Things are a little bit like a nice little jungle in there…I love being surrounded by plants…don’t you?
All my tropicals seem to be enjoying life…inside and outside the greenhouse.
This is the new fan. It is doing a much better job of cooling the greenhouse in the midst of the warm afternoons…When turned onto HI… This baby will blow your skin right off! (well not quite…but it is strong)
My Banana that I started from seed is getting nice and big!!! Yay!!!
That Swedish Ivy Nicco is all full and lush…I have had it for years, and always worry about it getting old…I might need to start a few new ones from cuttings just for insurance.
Lots of hanging plants…some which need to go to new homes…any takers?? Aunty Laura?????
My pony tail palm got a little bigger pot and didn’t skip a beat…it’s happy!
I am happy to see that the fiddle leaf fig is FINALLY over her tantrum…and is going to decide to live. I had threatened to toss it out if it didn’t start to grow..lol
I added some tropicals to the garden this year…the spider plants seem happy growing in the petunia pots…
…I also added some to the bacopa pots in some places.
Even the seed Banana that I started for outside is happy…in spite of it’s “bestie” that hangs out under it all the time! That’s Ginger…she is one of our household pets…
She has SUCH a hard life. (I often have to lift her out of the way so I can water!)
Well….that’s it for me! It’s your turn!
What are you waiting for???
GO!!!
Get your flaunt on!!!
I wish all of you hugs and smiles, and safe and happy weekend plans!
