Getting ready for #Halloween

What’s growing in our garden?
Unfortunately now there are 2 burrows near these lovely mushrooms(?) and the have vanished.
On the plus side the puffball is developing nicely.

The last hibiscus of the year for us. Still lots of asters in bloom at least. Bees need pollen!!

Looking at the dust storm at Don Mills and Eglinton. You can usually see those buildings in the distance.

These were our Easter bonnets this year and we wore them to vote. Made by our talented Daughter in law and a perfect present. #ElbowsUp

I loved the ‘cheese cake’ for OSSU’s 10th birthday. So much warmth and enthusiasm in the room from the patients, researchers and wonderful OSSU staff.

The only puffball we have ever found in our yard - a 30 year wonder. Is it in the family?

From the New York Times Book Review interview with Nell Zink.
The benefits of public radio. The best story I never heard before, about a kidnapped girl and the difference her radio made for her, over 8 years.
