what a lovely springish day…

this morning I spent time reading on the deck, in the sunshine… had a blanket and jacket on, but didn’t need gloves…

then a gathering with my cronies… even got a photo of the group with all the snacks… besides the mini eggs, pistachios, almonds, candy hearts, and chocolate mango pieces, hot cross buns and chocolate vanilla pinwheel cookies arrived with the crew;-)…

after everyone left, I enjoyed more time in the sunshine reading in the living room…

sunlight and warm temperatures… and it is supposed to be warm and sunny all week;-)… woohoo…

the bunnies have been out for a while…

the first one turned up on March 21st, with mini eggs alongside it…

since then every couple of days another bunny has joined the group…

in between, the mini eggs have come and gone, lol…

they are so cute…

and have certainly added a touch of fun to the space…

the final bunny turned up on Saturday to complete the colony;-)…

this morning the Happy Easter sign turned up with a few items for the other boys…

and I caught a photo of the Easter Bunny resting up in the garden after their busy night;-)…

bunnies everywhere…

so excited tonight when my grandson arrived with hot cross buns, which we have been looking for over the last week or so…

going to enjoy some of those for breakfast tomorrow;-)…

and he brought me tulips…

I filled five vases: one went downstairs in his space, one went into the den, one went into the living room and a final one for the bedroom…

what a lovely Easter treat…

I’ve been taking pictures regularly as the view changes out the front window…

I was so happy this afternoon as I took this photo of the front yard… looks like the snow is slowly melting away…

looking forward to a snow-free front lawn…

and sadly, this is what the front door camera showed a few minutes ago, sigh…

sigh…

the moon has been doing some odd things over the last while…

three days before the full moon the moonlight was amazing… it looked as though it was a full moon and this is very odd…

I’ve caught a few interesting photos over the last few days…

this was from the 5:30 on Tuesday morning, taken without my glasses on, lol……

this one was from 7:30 this morning…

the moon is so mesmerizing;-)…

this month commemorated the twelfth anniversary of my beloved’s passing…

it is always a reminder of how one’s life can change in the blink of an eye… mine certainly did at that time and again when I was diagnosed with cancer, and later diabetes…

the thing I have learned is that we can pivot and move forward, even if in a slightly different direction…

I have spent time remembering what a wonderful life we had together and how blessed I have been been and continue to be…

thinking of those who are at that pivot point in their journey…

since the girls were born, I’ve been giving them books for birthdays and holidays… I’ve done the same for my grandkids, but now we’ve worked up to gift cards as it isn’t clear what they might like to read…

now I don’t really have anyone to buy books for, but I have a new neighbour who has just turned two, so I’m getting books for him now…
