after lazing around all day yesterday thought I better get out and about today… two lovely morning glories in the garden…

  
had a great walk to the Park and around the Gardens… bit of a breeze and the temperature was in the low 20s…

  
some of my favourite shots… water lilies…

  
water drops on hostas…

  
hydrangeas…

  
the very last bloom on the rose standards…

  
pretty dahlias…

  
boxwood going in where the lilacs were…

  
a few geese at the Duck Pond… last time I was there in the daytime, there weren’t any…

  
the river is quite low… not too many weeks ago you couldn’t see this island at all…

on my way back I went to the grocery store to pick up eggs and milk…

as I was walking home from there, I thought about how far I have come in the last few years… I never went anywhere by myself… George and I travelled together all the time… I would walk to the Park occasionally, but would meet him there to wander through the Gardens or have a meal… I don’t think I ever walked to the grocery store…

now I walk over to the Park often, and even to the grocery store, without a second thought… still not so fond of eating out on my own but continue to push myself to do it…

a desire to be healthy and those big girl pants…
