Well the sky in the east is just starting to light up with gorgeous shades of red, orange and yellow, just beautiful. It reminds me of why I like it here so much. I will get a few more things done in my home office before I go out for my early morning walk. I kind of like to get out before all the kids are on the side walks heading for school, so it’s early before 8am or I will leave it until just after 9.

I like living in Moncton, New Brunswick and can’t think of any better place to live. Nature is just so close you only have to look out your window to see the beauty. Well okay, right now it’s mid November and it’s cold and wet plus all the leaves are gone from the trees and my flowers are all sleeping now. We need a blanket of snow to take away that dead and gloomy look.

Looking Out My Office Window This Morning

berriesforbirdsIt is easier to see all the birds in our shrubs and bushes, normally they are all hidden in amongst all the leaves. Now I can see them munching on all the nice berries our shrubs have. That will keep them coming around for most of the winter.

I am planning to increase the size of our garden again this coming spring.

Last year I planned to grow many more things than we did because I got a little more on the go than I had expected. This coming year we will have things planned out far in advance so we can do more with less confusion.

We had planned on having sunflowers growing and I didn’t even think about it until I saw others who had 3 foot sunflower plants already. I will do better this time around.

We have more birds and butterflies this past gardening season and we plan on having even more by planting the right flowers.

One of the things I like about Moncton is that it’s not a big city and there are plenty of properties that have great gardens so I spend a lot of time walking and taking pictures.

I can leave the house and head in any direction and I will find homes with something that catches my interest. This time of year we just pasted pumpkin viewing on the front porch and then as soon as that was over I started seeing Christmas decorations showing up on those same porches.
