we had another wonderful time at Lily Stone Cafe in Rosenort…

it was just over a year since we were last there, and it was as delightful as it had been previously…

once again, we had a room to ourselves…

we had a variety of teas and a tasty assortment of sandwiches and dainties…

my favourite savoury items were the the cucumber sandwiches and the quiche…

surprisingly, my favourite sweet was the decadent Kit Kat cheesecake, considering that I am not that fond of cheesecake, lol…

we were stuffed and happy when we left and weren’t rushed out the door, even though it was their closing time;-)…

the drive there and back was not too long and although it was overcast we only encountered a few drops of rain on our way home…

but, it still amazes me that there seems to be traffic everywhere and at all times these days, lol…

had some delicious food today;-)…

for breakfast we made waffles with bacon, raspberries, maple syrup, and whipped cream… they were delicious and a treat…

for lunch I was treated to a lovely “Tea for Two” fundraiser from St. Charles Headingley UC…

I had a portion, including my favourite cream cheese and cherry, and have some left for later…

supper was smoked goldeye with coleslaw…

lovely treats for Mother’s Day… and it was good that I got all my steps in today;-)…

today I walked over to get my hair cut… had to wait a little while, but enjoyed some solitaire while I waited, lol…

it is always lovely to have a fresh do…

I also spotted a very nice bench along the way…

as I was nearing home, I got a shot of the field and some of the trees yet to get their leaves…

lots of green is showing after all the rain…

last August the dryer had issues and Ron from Hameed Appliance Repair came out and was able to repair it, even though it was very old…

in March, the oven needed a new element and Ron came to our rescue again…

Friday the washer quit, sigh, and I contacted them for an appointment… heard back that they would be here Tuesday morning… once again Ron came, figured out the problem, ordered, picked up, and installed a pump and belt… all within an hour… it was a difficult job as the washer was squished into a very small area… a small box of broken bits and a found sock are all that is left of the process…

I have been very happy with the quick response from the business and the excellent work they have provided;-)…

I must say it feels like I’ve been wearing those big girl pants way too much recently…

started the morning yesterday with changing out the birthday bouquet…

took the last of the flowers and distributed them into four small posies…

one went on the kitchen shelf, one into the bathroom, one sat on the stairs waiting to go to the bedroom, and the last went into the den;-)…

I do love to have flowers everywhere;-)…

two lovely things today…

we went to Canadian Tire for a few things and when we got back to the car, we spotted these two cuties;-)…

reminded me of the two deer that walked down the street on Monday afternoon;-)…

and this was the sky tonight at 9:00 pm…

so exciting to have the light at this time of night….

nice treats…

Wednesday, Hilda the Gardener made her first visit of the season;-)… woohoo…

we had a little chat and discussed the plan for this summer’s garden and then she worked away at cleaning up the beds…

all of them look great now, as well as the area under the cedars along the new fence…

this is before…

and after…

now we just have to rake up the grass…

and under the deck looks good…

next there will be some shopping for new members of the plant family;-)…

I’ve really been enjoying having both wicker chairs on the deck… hoping I may be able to put the mandevilla beside the one closest to the north steps, but we will have to see if there is enough room…
