today is my daughter and son-in-law’s wedding anniversary…

I remember what a great day it was, but also the weeks that led up to it…

the day went off without a hitch… our daughter looked amazing… picture taking was great fun… the sky was blue for their outdoor service… the limo stopped at Starbucks so they could get coffee… the reception was very classy and everyone had a wonderful time…

but just prior to that I had been in the hospital for six weeks, followed by weeks at home with a drainage tube which was removed just a few days before the wedding…

that was probably the sickest I have ever been and recovery was slow and difficult…

I also remember what a gem my beloved was as he visited me in the hospital and brought me daily pictures of the morning glories as they bloomed…

he took such good care of me, always…

I can only wish that kind of love for my children as they move forward in their life together…

bittersweet memories…

amazingly productive day… out and about for groceries and items for a project… it was rainy and cold;-)…

back home I started two types of soup – chicken and vegetable, as well as zucchini basil… made rice and started red lentil curry…

my grandson arrived mid afternoon and helped with a rather long list of to do items…

he helped bring a mattress up from the basement that I am trying out as a headboard… I’ve been wanting a new headboard for ages… think it might work…

plants were brought into the house and feeders were filled… the printer is working again, a light got hooked up in the kitchen, and the living room window is clean…

he left around three hours after he arrived… I’m exhausted, lol… now for a rest before I finish the soup…

put a note in my calendar the other day so that I would remember to bring the Japanese Maple in from the garden…

doesn’t look like it was affected by the cold weather which makes me happy… will watch and see how stressed it will be from the move… it is a bit delicate and often drops all of the leaves when moved…

still have to bring in the hibiscus and mandevilla… maybe on Sunday…

right now the morning glories are wrapped all around the mandevilla, lol…

this morning I was up at my usual time… it was dark…

the sun rose forty-five minutes later… this is very sad… a clear sign of what is to come…

it was light when I left and there were many, many, morning glories blooming in the garden…

this week I started back on vitamin D…

over the last week or so, on our way home from work, my travel buddy has taken these pictures of the crane for me…

my beloved was always interested in construction in the city…

for so many years there were no cranes anywhere to be seen…

seeing this one every day makes me think of him…

was so excited yesterday with the mail…

in it was my BOATsmart licence;-)… I worked hard the last week of August to get it after my daughter sent me the link…

when we went camping on the long weekend it was great fun to let my son-in-law know that I had passed the exam…

now for the real life practice…

looking forward to next summer as I work on my boating skills;-)…

looking forward to spending the evening with my BS buddies… we haven’t met too often over the summer…

ah, the summer… took this picture yesterday as I was coming home from the grocery store…

many branches on the trees are bare… and the street is covered with leaves… when I took the picture I was focusing on the leaves on the street… only discovered the bare branches when I was preparing the picture… yikes…

and the Virginia creeper is moving into its fall stage…

not only is it changing colour… something is enjoying it as a snack!

must continue to take the time to focus on special moments because time is whizzing by…

today, while I was out I picked up this cute little asparagus fern…

my parents had one in their apartment… I believe it was passed down from one set of grandparents, although I don’t remember which ones… my beloved would have known that little detail;-)… both of them had green thumbs…

was very happy that it fit right into one of the pots in the cupboard…

the fern reminds me of my mom and dad… hope it likes its new spot…
