I just got back from the park, Bad puppies put to bed to rest cause now they are tired. On the way home I stopped to get photos of the park downtown across from our city hall, the flowers the city planted are are so beautiful, even the ornamental purple cabbage in the flower bed looks great!

Oh yes I can smell those lovely lilies of yours Colleen all the way down here!
Pretty, pretty, pretty flower beds of yours and flower beds of your town. My fishy's made a dirty mess in their pond and I have to clean it all up!

It's dark now, and just after 10pm, and only 63 degrees, but here I sit, by the ponds, outside in my bug free living room. The candles are burning bright, and I have been working on new ways to make the outdoor living room more cosy come fall. I have hung black drapes on the fence, between the bug net and the fence. It looks great, but I need more of these black thin cheap drapes to hang on fence, and make it like a "picture window" on the north and east fence surrounding this padio, and then the black drapes will warm the inside of the bug zone when chilly, and help stop the wind. Fall is coming, I have seen the odd leaf that has turned yellow already, and must prepare this shelter so I can enjoy it a while longer. I will leave the net up till all the leaves fall, that way the leaves won't get inside the padio.

Having a glass of wine, snuggled up to my big soft cushions, with a warm fuzzy sweater, all by myself cause the bad puppies want in the house, hubby working, and I am just relaxed, listening to the sound of the water and looking out toward the bottom pond, where a big globe is lit brightly and floating over the water. Sometimes words can say it all, you don't need a picture to imagine me here in Canada....

Your living room sounds so comfy! Shame on those beast puppies for not sticking it out there w/ ya.
You have to refresh your page in order to keep getting the correct time............that's just the way the ball bounces :boldblue:

Slakker they will warm up to you, it just takes time, my two biggest koi are 22 years old and the one white one just started eating from my hand this year. The big orange one always was a hungry koi and always ate my fingers, and I have another smaller finger sucking koi that is only about five years old and she has a big mouth and loves to eat out of my hands already. The koi with the biggest mouth grows to be the biggest fish, kinda like the puppy with the biggest paws grows to be the biggest dog...
