recently I saw something on Instagram which reminded me of our wonderful visit to Ali’i Kula Lavender on Maui…

it was a beautiful place, with nice lavender fields, but also amazing gardens filled with stunning flowers…

I found a few photos from that day…

this hand towel usually hangs in the bathroom as a lovely reminder of that wonderful day and trip…

so nice when something comes along and reminds you of special moments…

this morning I spent time with the flowers from March 5th…

last week I took out the carnations and today I divided the remaining mums into three containers…

one went into a glass vessel and made its way onto one of the kitchen counters…

the second container held two and went into the bathroom…

the final batch went into a purple mug on the living room table…

I also added a bunny, a glass egg, a candle, and chocolate mini eggs… Easter is coming after all;-)…

such fun to create something new from a single bouquet…

I’ve been watching Blown Away on Netflix…

it is on my housemate’s computer and as I’ve watched season one and two I’ve been walking on the spot… getting lots of steps… I am now on season three and hope to catch up to the current episodes on season four…

the show is about glass blowing and has been great fun to watch…

I have loved Dale Chihuly’s work and it is so fun to watch the participants produce their art…

so, this morning at 8:15, Ron, from Hameed Appliance Repair Inc. arrived…

forty-five minutes, and $250 later, he was gone…

in between, he fixed a foot that had come off the stove and replaced the bake element…

woohoo…

at first I thought he was taking the stove’s blood pressure as he had these nifty little pads that pumped up and raised the side of the stove so he could get in to work on the foot, which fought pretty hard, but he won the battle, lol…

the element was an easy fix as he had one in his vehicle, it took minutes to replace…

we had a lovely conversation about the lifespan of older versus newer appliances and I got a card for someone they recommend for refurbished appliances… hope I don’t need that for a long time;-)…

so I think I will roast something for supper…

recently I purchased a new set of nozzles for the hose after having looked for a long time for just the right ones…

today I used one to top up the hot tub and plunge tub…

this nozzle seems to have more pressure so the filling took way less time than previously;-)…

made me happy as it was a bit chilly out there…

spent time today with my tech specialist as they worked on a few problems with my main computer…

technology is always a wonderful thing when it is working and a pain in the butt when it isn’t…

took us a while, but eventually we were able to get everything on the list tended to…

some of the issues revolved around the way I enter some apps…

now I have to remember the new ways, lol… wish me luck…

today was Pi day, lol, so we decided to bake a frozen pizza for supper… it wasn’t cooked after the correct amount of time, nor after more time… eventually we realized that the oven wasn’t heating…

tried using the frypan, but that did not work…

so, then we ordered…

it was tasty, particularly after we’d been trying to have supper for a long time, lol…

now to figure out why the oven isn’t working…

yesterday I had a good time cleaning and organizing the upstairs hall bookshelves… I had hoped to spend time on the deck, but it was overcast and cool so instead I tackled the shelves… apparently the last time may have been in February of 2014…

it is quite a gift that I can wait until I feel like doing something to do it, lol…

and Tuesday morning I was ready to go…

found a box for the pass-me-overs and then started going through all the stuff on the shelves…

the box was mainly filled with books that seemed easy to let go…

items were rearranged and I even found a container of rocks and some small seashells…

happy with the outcome;-)…

now, I wonder how long I can keep it this way, hmmmm…

yesterday I received a beautiful bouquet of hyacinths… I’ve never had them as cut flowers, always in soil…

what a lovely treat…

they are in a vase on the living room table and I am looking forward to them opening and scenting the house…
