yesterday my grandson came over…

he cleaned the pump in the pond, but for some reason it wouldn’t start up… will have to get my son-in-law over to see if his magic fingers can get it going…

we went to Za Pizza Bistro for supper with some out-of-town family… first time I’ve been there and it was delicious… I was able to have a white sauce on mine, which I really enjoy, and the crust was thin and crispy… it was great fun choosing the exact toppings I wanted…

before it got dark he headed home on his bike…

I really enjoy spending time with him…

walked over to get a trim at Ultracuts after the rain stopped yesterday… came out very nice…

on my walk back home I came across a group of bikers at the gas station… made me giggle to see one person checking out their cell phone as they waited for others to get gas…

I asked if I might take his photo and he said yes and posed, lol… then I asked if he would go back to looking at his phone, because that was the shot I wanted…

last year around this time we went out to Falcon Lake for some camping fun…

I picked up the cutest magnetic screen protectors, shaped like butterflies… I put the three of them on the patio screen door…

recently I caught this picture of an actual butterfly on the screen…

wondered if it was having a visit with its magnet friends, lol…

our last day of camping was sunny but windy…

after a hike along the beach the decision was made not to take the boat out… the whitecaps were big…

got some great photos along the way…

so, we packed up and headed toward home… we stopped at Seven Sisters Falls on the way and had a lovely wander along the river…

beautiful scenery… a reminder of lovely visits that my beloved and I took to this spot… it was fun for the boys to see it for the first time…

while we were there the boys spotted many frogs… made me giggle because I often take photos of frogs… they use a much more hands-on approach…

so far we’ve seen a fawn, frogs, geese and a pileated woodpecker… and we’ve only been here since noon;-)…

we’ve hiked around the campground and taken a few photos from the bridge that is usually in my pictures…

we’ve fished, or more precisely, practised casting, lol…

and are currently sitting around a campfire waiting for it to die down so we can cook hotdogs for our supper…

why is it that hotdogs taste so delicious when cooked over a fire…

pretty fine day considering we were led to believe it was going to rain all day…

Monday I considered turning on the bedroom light when I first got up…

there is less light every day, sigh… this is always one of the sadder happenings mid August…

at night I am now turning on the lights that run along the bannister on the stairs… those lights haven’t been on for months…

time is flying by more and more quickly…

although later in the evening I did enjoy spending a few minutes at the window as I was going downstairs to watch the solar lights start twinkling on… arrived at just the right moment;-)…

have to celebrate the little things…

over it…

something happened recently that instantly brought back a very bad time in my life…

we always think we are over it, but the simplest thing can take us back in time in a flash and we relive the memories…

it is going to take some time to recover from the feelings that have resurfaced…

one step at a time on the journey…

was thinking of people I’ve known who always seemed to have a dark cloud hanging over them…

feels like that is happening to a few of those in my circles.. lots of struggles and loss…

missing my beloved… this photo reminds me of a place where we would always find peace and serenity together…

working on how best to be present for those struggling…

spent a lot of time with the water lilies in the Gardens… went from one to another, viewing and taking pictures… many of them had tiny frogs sitting on the lily pads…

water has always been important to me and it always draws me in…

wasn’t sure that the two lilies in my pond were going to have flowers, but I remained hopeful…

and this morning I spotted a bud;-)… woo hoo… excited to see the flower…

so excited because I found a new way to download my iPhone photos in a quick and simple way…

picked up this iXpand Flash Drive SanDisk which holds 64 gb…

while I was sitting in the parking lot of the store, I downloaded the app and saved 1800 photos to the drive… all in about five minutes…

previous methods I’ve used have taken way longer to copy pictures…

easy to find the pictures by date and then copy them back to the iPhone if needed…

oh, I think I’m going to have lots of fun…
