Sometimes, Sunday is the basket you catch all the procrastinated chores for the week. So, this is my #SublimeSunday (inspired by @c0ff33a) and #BeautifulSunday (initiated by @ace108) post to share how my week ended

To end this week, This week, I take a little drive in town and get to some yard work.

What a Day!

It was a perfect day to stop and take a look around. The seasons are in transition with cool windy rain as much as anything else, so I really enjoyed another day of blue skies and warm sun. Trees are without their leaves for the most part but there are a few which are resilient to the cold and are bravely holding on to theirs.

I stopped into the museum to make a delivery for a family member and thought a little history on a #sublimesunday post would be alright.



Not too much going on in this neck of the woods except trains, Thomas Edison, and Justin Bieber. You might have heard of him and I live in his hometown. Or is it the other way around? Nah.



As riveting as it gets is the Tim Horton's display where they shill leftover merch from the marketing campaign when they had him design custom branded timbits. AKA Donut holes in more civilized parts of the world. The mannequin is not creepy at all!

Bring On Christmas

Some people are suffering an extended Halloween hangover while other people are jumping right into the next season. These snowy fellows showed up well before the first snowfall and even brought a few big flakes of their own.



These guys put out the spread every season, even the lesser ones. We wager there are 10 large boxes in the garage with lights and inflatables which is why they have to park the truck outside.

Raking Time

I hate raking. Well, I hate raking multiple times so I left it long enough so that most of the leaves have fallen. I also like to leave some of them on the grass over the winter so that insects can survive in them and they break down into the nutrients. This is a little extreme though and as much as I would enjoy leaving them there so that they eventually blow into the neighbour's yard, I gotta tidy up a bit.



These happy piles ended up being bigger than I thought they were going to be and were threatening to not fit in the 2 bags I brought with me.



I like to pack the living shit out of the leaves to save on bags mostly. Plus, I think the fat round one on the left is pretty funny looking. Not what they recommend.



Apparently, you are supposed to stop at the line a few inches from the top of the bag so that you can roll it down and crumple it closed.



I packed it back down to the line and it actually worked quite well. Still not full enough for me so I uncrumpled and started stuffing.



In the end, I managed to pack those 2 huge piles in 3 bags. Surely voiding any warranty they or intended design stipulations. That's how I roll, or rake.



I have surveillance installed on premises so no need to worry about rabbits sneaking up on you.

After all of that hard thirsty labour, I had a hankering for some beer. I am all about the gift packs and found one that might intrigue @leaky20. If you haven't yet, you can visit his latest #beersaturday blog here. I might just have a review next Saturday.






One more drive to drink in the last of the sun's light as I captured the sunset at great peril to myself and the fellow driving behind me. The lengths I will go to capture the perfect moment for legions of followers!

Plenty of work done and even fit in an afternoon nap for a prototypical #beautifulsunday.

I am honoured to curate for:

How was your Sunday?
