started April by changing up the living room table…
this time I moved all the crystals to one square, filled a second square with shells… the third square included birds and critters… the final square with some of my favourite books…
looks good…

recently I came across a couple of pictures of cherry trees from April a number of years ago…
this first photo, which I took at the Filberg Festival in Courtenay, BC in 2011, won us a trip to Kingfisher Oceanside Resort and Spa to enjoy their Pacific Mist hydropath…
this photo was taken in New York, NY, in 2016… I think it was in Central Park..
cherry trees are just so beautiful, and clearly April is a blooming month for them;-)…
it is fun when memories remind me of special times…

two lovely things to start my day…
first was to turn the page on my Chihuly calendar…
April is a stunning installation which is located at Union Station in Tacoma, Washington… will be nice to look at for the month…
and, when I got to the office I discovered my little inukshuk (or inuksuk) keychain sitting on my desk… it broke quite a while ago and a sweet colleague took it home for repair… there it sat, just waiting to get back together with my work keys, which happened immediately… she did a beautiful repair job…
I love inuksuit… there is one in the side garden built out of Tyndall stone… well, it needs a little work, but that will happen as the weather improves, lol…
excellent start to the day…

took this picture of the April page on my Chihuly calendar…
when I turned to this page it reminded me of the wonderful installation at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens and how much fun we had there…
the other place where there was a fabulous installation of the floats was at Chihuly Garden and Glass in Seattle… many floats were placed inside a row boat, just sitting on the floor in a huge empty room… very cool…
funny where a picture can take you…
