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…

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…

it started snowing yesterday morning and has barely stopped since then… I’ve spent the day taking pictures…
around 7:30 I took a few photos out the front and back…
a bit later I went outside to shovel the front sidewalk and the back deck that leads to the garage and hot tub… that was around 9:30…
I looked out the front door at noon to see this…
hard to tell that I shovelled, lol…
shots from 2 and 7…
not going to look anymore tonight, lol…
will have to check it out in the morning… am going to have to find someone to shovel the driveway;-)…

the hibiscus made it into the house and was looking great… so far…
still had lots of buds and I was eagerly waiting to see if they would bloom because sometimes the buds fall off after a move…
the above photos were taken on Tuesday and the ones below were taken tonight…
it was so wonderful to have these blooming today as it has been snowing since early this morning, sigh…
guess the timing was good, lol…

the colours of the trees are so pretty right now…
one of the trees on my street has zero leaves on it now… many of the others are losing their leaves bit by bit…
it amazes me how all of a sudden they are all on the ground…

the sky has been doing some quite lovely things…
last night I got a great shot out the front window and the daylight this morning was amazing…
the colours came out exactly as I saw them… that doesn’t always happen…

well, my ear is doing much better… so far the meds are working with no side effects…
my technique is to take a photo of the box just before or after I use the drops so that I can remember what time I need to take them next, lol…
took the shot in a hurry this morning…
helpful, though…

I have learned to appreciate the little moments in my life…
this morning I got this shot of the hibiscus…
one flower was fully open and the second flower was just unfurling…
I was home a bit early at the end of the day as I had to get my ear checked out at the doctor’s office… I spent a few minutes enjoying the hibiscus…
the second flower had unfurled as well…
I get to walk past the hibiscus, morning glories and mandevilla on my way to and from the garage…
so blessed to have such a special garden…

for the last few days I’ve been watching the flickers on the roof of the garage enjoying the berries on the Virginia creeper… it has been a nice distraction as I go up and down the stairs, still using the cane…
they seem to gather around this time of year to fill up on ants and berries before heading south…
the other interesting thing about them is although they are woodpeckers, usually I see them on the ground, or in this case, on the garage roof…
