today, my BS group gathered in the living room…

we’ve been meeting in the garden but it was only going to 2 degrees Celsius so we decided it was time to come inside…

one person joined via Zoom and had dropped off a lovely treat for us beforehand… boob (for breast cancer awareness month) and regular macarons from Jenna Rae Cakes…

I left the front and back doors open to move fresh air… everyone wore masks until we were all seated…

it was the first time we’ve met in the house since the pandemic began…

felt lovely and odd at the same time, lol…

soon we will all have had the fifth shot which will make us feel a bit more confident about being in a closed space together…

so happy to be getting back to more ‘normal’ times…

had an idea the other day when I was watching tv upstairs… I’ve been thinking it was time to change up the display in the living room table, so I got started…

found a number of framed photos from the computer room and my collection of fancy gemstones…

I gathered up some of my angels… I have given away most of them, but kept a few of my favourites, lol…

brought everything to the living room table and had a lovely time putting them into the squares…

remembering where they came from and why they were special to me…

such a lovely walk down memory lane;-)…

so much to be thankful for…

this year my daughter was here in March and my son-in-law in August…

I spent hours in the garden…

met my friends on a regular basis in the garden all summer… previously, we haven’t met very often during that time as everyone was busy…

saw, texted, and spoke on the phone with many friends… made a new one and enjoyed getting to know them…

worked on changes in the vegetable garden… grew peas, beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes…

was visited by monarchs and swallowtails and a beautiful little hummingbird…

enjoyed bouquets of flowers all summer, thanks to a birthday subscription from the kids…

had many projects completed, in the house and the garden…

life is very good…

went for a walk the other day and enjoyed the colours…

the trees were looking so beautiful…

I came across these Halloween decorations just waiting to be turned on…

I bet they will look great when they are blown up…

I had a lovely time…

my hair went from being fine… to unmanageable, in what felt like a minute, about last Wednesday… I nearly tried out the freshly sharpened scissors, but managed to hold off until this morning when I walked over to Ultracuts to get it dealt with… had to wait for a bit, so went for a walk, rather than sit inside…

the weather was nice, particularly as it was supposed to rain all day…

along the way I spotted some murals and got a nice shot of this one…

pleased with the cut…

on the way home I passed a person and said good morning… it wasn’t until I was a few steps past them that I realized it was one of my neighbours…

I laughed as I thought of how my beloved would have responded… he would have turned back, called out their name, and had a half hour conversation…

I just kept walking, lol…

separated…

spent some time in the garden repotting a few plants to come into the house…

this silver falls had been in a pot hanging on the side of the house and was so pretty I thought I’d give it a try in the house…

I separated a couple of plants and put them in a slightly smaller pot…

finally, I brought in some of the floating pond plants…

it will be interesting to see how they all manage…

teabag…

was talking with someone recently and making tea at the same time…

as I was squeezing the teabag, they mentioned hearing that doing this bruised the tea, which was a bad thing…

made me laugh as I’ve done it forever to get any additional flavour out of the bag before discarding it…

hibernation…

made a hot breakfast, cause it felt like that kind of day, and then gathered the ingredients to prepare ham, cabbage and potatoes…

this would give it time to cook and then cool before heating it up for supper…

while that was cooking, I finished shredding the rest of the cabbage, a bit of green onion, and some carrot… I added the last of the dressing I had in the cupboard and finished that recipe…

finally, I cut and scooped three ripe avocados into containers to go into the freezer for smoothies…

yesterday I prepared zucchini basil soup…

feels a bit like I am getting ready for hibernation…
