Have I mentioned yet how much I LOVE the month of October?!! What a beautiful day today.
Pavers being installed near the main pool.
I can't believe how fast our flowers got planted this year! Such a pretty array of snapdragons and petunias.

From a Canadian newspaper:
Canadian snowbirds question why land border is still closed as they prepare to fly to U.S., ship their RVs
Canadians currently can't drive to the U.S., but they can transport their cars and RVs across the land border
The U.S. has kept its land border with Canada closed since the start of the pandemic in March 2020. Snowbirds are questioning why they can fly but not drive to the U.S., and planning costly workarounds if the land border doesn't open. (Christinne Muschi/Reuters)
As the United States land border closure to non-essential travel drags on, patience is wearing thin for some fully vaccinated Canadian snowbirds who live in their RVs year-round.
That's because if the U.S. side of the border remains closed next month, the snowbirds will be shelling out big bucks to fly to the U.S. and transport their RVs by land.
"It's ridiculous," said Laura Fordham who lives in an RV full-time with her husband, Fred. "It just does not make sense why they would let people fly, but not let people drive."
The couple's current home-base, an RV park in Puslinch, Ont., near Guelph, closes at the end of the month.
The U.S has extended its land border closure until at least Oct. 21. If that date is extended into November, Fordham said the couple will pay a commercial driver around $700 to transport their RV across the Michigan land border. Although Canadian travellers currently can't cross by land, there are no restrictions on them importing vehicles to the U.S.
