recently a few people have commented on the plants in the office…

my space is filled with orchids, violets and other greenery…

I always give credit to our plant whisperer who keeps the green things extra green…

I also mention how much I enjoy my orchids… sometimes they bloom a second and third time… it is so exciting when that happens…

lovely to spend my day in a garden;-)..

enjoyed some time in the hot tub this morning…

although, having a hot tub Saturday evening and Sunday morning doesn’t work that well because my water shoes don’t have time to dry completely… they are rather cold and soggy, lol…

watched chickadees and nuthatches come and go to the feeder and have snacks…

a bit later in the day I watched more chickadees and nuthatches in the front yard…

such fun to get to enjoy the moments with the critters all around…

today I trimmed the hibiscus as it has been growing out in all kinds of odd directions…

I’ve read that this isn’t the best time to prune hibiscus, but it really needed to be tidied up…

and then, after I’d removed some branches, I realized that I had cut off buds!

very sad about that… put them in water and set them in the bathroom… hope they might still bloom;-)…

all the boys came for dinner tonight…

they searched for fish in the pond, but the fish are trying really hard not to be found… wish we could tell them they are going to freeze if they don’t come into the condo;-(…

my son-in-law is much more patient than the younger boys although he only caught a few… two more of the babies and one bigger one…

we talked about catching the fish with grandpa and how the three biggest ones have been in the tank and pond since before he died…

we will continue to see if we can find more… still time before the pond freezes over…

the sun shone all day yesterday… what a treat as it has been overcast for days…

got a lovely shot of the little orchid amidst shadows at my desk…

and as I walked along the street on my way home I got a few shots of the bright light…

lots of Halloween decorations to see too…

this little flower made me think of all those I know who are hanging on by a thread for a variety of reasons… even though it has been cold and snowy it is still blooming…

I was also thinking of a friend’s comment that they couldn’t pull out the plants that were still flowering in their garden, lol…

beauty is all around us, if we just take a moment to look…

went to PTE this afternoon… the play was thought-provoking and very well done…

walked home from Portage Avenue afterwards…

so many broken branches along the way…

that snowstorm really knocked around the trees and the city will be recovering for a long time…

quiet day today…

went and got a hair cut…

topped up the hot tub, trimmed some Virginia creeper and took a few pictures in the garden of the last few blooming plants…

made an appointment for a pedicure with a friend next week and finished the turkey soup…

enjoyed it with some of Mom’s dumplings…

great day…
