it’s been nearly a year since I began volunteering at The Leaf…

since that time I have only come across four people that I know 🤪…

the first person was in the summer, not long after I’d started…

since then I hadn’t seen anyone I know until last week when I met a friend I hadn’t seen for a very long time… luckily I was able to do a quick catch up with them…

then today, I came across two people I knew…

one was early on in my shift and the other as I was moving from one spot to another…

how crazy is that and a great treat 😊…

my phone case was starting to show its age, so I spent time researching what was out there to replace it…

having the spot where cards and a bit of money fit makes it easy for me just to take the phone and not need a purse…

took quite a while, but eventually I found two that I thought might work…

ordered both and discovered, for now, that the smaller one will work perfectly;-)…

the best thing is that it doesn’t have a zipper, like my last one, where the pull tab kept finding its way into my photos, lol… and it is very slim…

the part that makes me giggle is that it is harder to tell the top from the bottom when I take it out of my pocket…

while we were out last Sunday I picked up flowers…

when I got home, I spent time putting them into a couple of vases… for whatever reason I wasn’t pleased with how they looked…

late in the week they were finally redone, with one bouquet in the den, one in the bathroom, and one in the bedroom, although it lived on the stairway for a while, lol…

happy to have fresh flowers in the house;-)…

Thursday night I picked up a cute little orchid after we attended the Member Preview of Kaleidoscope at The Leaf…

one of the many benefits of membership is that often there are previews of new displays… always great fun…

this new display is filled with bright, colourful, flowers and lots of crystals… I am looking forward to seeing if they produce rainbows on sunny days;-)…

and the neatest thing is a piece that has three kaleidoscopes on it with a platform of flowers which turn and produce the kaleidoscope effect… such an entertaining time, either looking through the three options or spinning the saucer for others to see…

I am also going to go later in the evening to see everything lit;-)…

the orchid is from the Apothecary display, so it is a lovely reminder of that display…

there is always something new or different every time you walk through the biomes…
