Monday and we are talking about all sorts...
I should mention something from yesterday's post. Although we put tar paper on the walls in the "new" basement, we don't actually have any damp in there. Even in the old basement that is dry. We are lucky as a lot of old basements in older homes can be damp. We did have a bit of dry rot in the old basement, but that was taken care of in the spring.
Sunday was the start of Advent at church. I enjoyed the service, though one of the hymns just went, on and on and on!!!! I am looking forward to the next few services. Also found out when the Christmas Eve services are. We have three churches in our parish, so one is at 4pm, the other at 7pm and the one at the church I attend is at 9pm. Looking forward to attending that also.
On Sunday morning we had a lovely sunrise, and I took some photos.
Accross the road is a cell phone tower, I think it may be a Rogers one. Anyhow the sun was shining off the tower and it lookes as though it was lit up:
I think I will keep the other two for Skywatch Thursday as they are really nice.
I also put up my Fibre Optic tree. Have to say I love the simplicity of that tree. Pull it out of the box, connect the parts and switch on.......couldn't be easier!! I am hoping to get our main tree up this week..............now that takes a heck of a lot longer to put up!!
The plant left of the tree is an orchid. I see I have a couple of buds on there so I am expecting flowers from it in the Spring. It was flowering when I got it for my birthday this year, see this post. The santa's each side of the tree are these ones.
As you can also see by the last photo we don't have much in the way of snow and we are forecast for rain on Tuesday, so it will be all gone that day.........
Also on Sunday I was doing a bit of sewing, I should be finished by mid week, so will show you the photos then. Hoping for a quiet week again this week.

Good news, bad news......
Good news, we have central air now....YEAH!!! And it's not one million degrees in the house anymore.....which in turn means I am not as miserable and neither should dh be..........oh and then there is the bad news.............I have knackered broken the lawn tractor AGAIN. This time it's not the blades, I have broken the cutting deck, so dh has had to dismantle it and take it too work to have it welded..........so dh is miserable..........and I am in the dog house AGAIN! By the way I have no idea how I did it!
This was the sun rising on Thursday morning, gorgeous isn't it?
On Wednesday morning, we had a couple of deer in the yard, and they were big and pretty close to the house. Well that was until Molly saw them and all hell broke loose, as she went mad barking like a crazy dog.
I am quite sure, if those deer had come close to Molly she would have been terrified!!
Oh and the rabbit I posted about in this post; well it must have told all his friends that we have a veggie patch, as guess what I saw in my veggie patch.....yep more rabbits!! So I guess next year we will have to make the veggie patch rabbit proof {SIGH}
