the front doorbell and the garden cameras both needed to be charged at the same time…

it was easy to bring in the front one but not so easy for the other one, lol…

I had to make a path to the garden camera as that area was a part of the snow pile from shovelling… took a while, but I got it;-)…

the cameras are now both charged and the garden one has been put by the garage door for the rest of the winter…

much easier to get to, lol…🤪

had a lovely visit to Fleurs de Villes WONDER at The Leaf…

for Christmas I had given my buddies tickets to the show… such a great gift which adds another celebration for everyone…

we had lunch at Gather to celebrate our January birthday woman before the tour;-)…

we had dropped our birthday person at the back entrance, which is much closer for anyone with walking issues and then drove around and parked at the front…

for this visit, we skipped the Tropical biome and moved right into the Mediterranean biome to see the fifteen displays…

every time I walk through the area I spot details I hadn’t noticed before;-)…

I’ve volunteered twice, and visited three times so it is quite astonishing that I keep discovering new things…

the group enjoyed all of the displays and it was fun as each person made their choice of favourite piece…

I keep vacillating between three, lol…

while I was at The Leaf the other day, I got some great photos of various bulbs…

the amaryllis were beautiful and there were lots of them;-)…

I also spotted a variety I had not seen before…

and then I found this lovely white hyacinth;-)…

wasn’t able to smell it, lol…

I expect that they will all be gone the next time I visit…

100, 2025, big girl pants, blessed, books, happy, moments, widow

today, I finished my hundredth book of 2025…

I am very happy… I would have done better except for one book which I didn’t like, so kept on putting reading off, lol… but I did finish it…

so many of the books were enjoyed in the garden over the spring, summer, and fall;-)…

I need to work on putting a book aside, without finishing it, if I don’t like it, lol…

a few days ago I booked my fourth visit to Fleurs de Villes at The Leaf in January;-)…

it is always wonderful to see and I have given a number of friends tickets to go (with me of course)…

seems like a perfect Christmas gift for anyone who appreciates art, flowers, nature, and creativity… especially after looking out the window and seeing this, lol…
