as we declutter the basement, we have found a few things to move into other areas of the house… and our goal is to set the items up as they get moved, lol…

most recently, a light fixture that originally came from my parents’ apartment made its way into the den…

it got screwed into the wall, a smart bulb was added to it and connected to Google Home…

working nicely and it will be great for guests when the couch transforms to a bed;-)…

oops…

last night I ran around the house gathering all the boxes for a Big Brothers Big Sisters pickup today…

had all the boxes in the dining room and marked as required…

set the alarm to be sure I was up at 7:30 to put the boxes on the front steps…

made sure they were all on the steps before 8 but then when the boxes weren’t picked up by noon, I went back and reread the email from them…

apparently they are coming next Friday, not today… oops…

so I went out and brought all the boxes back in, lol…

on Saturday I took a photo of the veggie garden arch…

I’ve taken lots, but haven’t felt they were just right…

finally I figured out that I should take one from the front yard, lol…

looks pretty… maybe next year I won’t have the beans growing across the top, where I can’t reach them, lol…

Sunday was International left-handers day…

made me laugh as I thought about the cute magnet that my son-in-law got for me a number of years ago…

it is certainly one of my favourites;-)…

apparently both my beloved and I were gifted…

sad about the kids, lol…

had some fun on Thursday…

had breakfast out and then we went to Home Depot, found plants, pots, and rocks… then it was on to Rona to check for different pots, and back to Home Depot to pick up the first one, lol…

when we got home the plant light that had been ordered had arrived…

at last, everything was potted, put together, and set up;-)…

I think it was a good birthday for the twenty-three year old;-)…

spent another night out on the deck;-)…

this time I brought up the air mattress, laid down a comforter to set it on, and filled it up;-)…

then up came more comforters and down came pillows from my bed…

had a good sleep but the top cover of the comforter was wet from the dew… and my glasses were completely fogged over…

last view of the moon before the entire process was repeated in reverse…

been wondering if the evening sounds I’ve been hearing are crickets or frogs…

pretty much came to the conclusion that they were crickets as I haven’t seen any signs of a frog around the pond…

and then…

Wednesday morning, look who popped up on the bridge;-)…

the sound might still be the crickets, but what a treat to spot this little leopard frog;-)…

and in the last few days it has been all over;-)…

hopeful…

I am so happy that the hibiscus has a flower on it… this is the first one since the tree came outside…

it is so pretty and I am hopeful that there will be more in the near future…

these pictures were taken about two hours apart on Friday…

enjoyed some delicious fish and chips Thursday…

a dear friend, who I have not seen for ages, came for dinner and brought the treat…

it is our pattern to always have fish and chips as it is one of our favourites, lol…

we had a wonderful visit and I also had leftovers for my lunch the next day;-)…

such a special time…

I had a very busy day on Thursday…

so I didn’t have time to get a trim because my hair had apparently gone wild overnight…

instead I dug out my sharp scissors and cut my own hair…

think it came out okay, lol… although, as always, I can’t really see the back;-)…
