Atlanta Botanical Garden, big girl pants, calendar, Chihuly, Chihuly Garden and Glass, hat, memories, widow

this morning I was thinking about our time in Atlanta just a few weeks ago…

very happy while I was there to pick up a 2017 calendar… also picked up some beautiful notecards and a Chihuly hat…

just a few days ago I turned over my 2016 calendar to this picture…


another beauty… makes checking the date a very pleasant experience… and a reminder of those wonderful visits to the Atlanta Botanical Garden and our amazing visit to Chihuly Garden and Glass in Seattle…

I had picked up a couple of novels before heading to Atlanta and started reading this one…


was blown away by her reference to Chihuly as I read on the flight to Ottawa on the way to Atlanta…

synchronicity…

memories…

gardens…

Atlanta Botanical Garden, big girl pants, bread, calendar, Chihuly, decadent, frog, gardens, orbs, pond, sounds, widow

always great fun to turn my beautiful Chihuly calendar from one month to the next…

  

these orbs make me very happy… remind me of the lovely purple ones that the kids gave me for Mother’s Day…

  

still have to put a bit of water in them and then silicone the small hole in each one so they will float… also think I might join the three of them together with some fishing line through the silicone…

had a decadent lunch… hard to believe that a chicken sandwich on flax bread with chips and a salad is decadent, lol… 

bread is really one of the most problematic foods for me… makes my sugar levels go up all of the next day so I have to be very careful how much of it I eat…

  
when I was shopping today the bread really jumped out… my favourite technique is to buy bread, have some, and then feed the rest to the kids when they come for dinner or take it to work the next day… that way I can have the treat but not overdo… the last few days have been quiet as I saw the kids and had dinner with them on Friday… bread’s going to work tomorrow, lol…

have been watching the information about the new Chihuly opening at the Atlanta Botanical Garden… today I came across a great article in Houzz showing pictures of a number of the installations… sure looks awesome…

  
my new frog friend is very talkative… there is a lot of noise coming from the pond area… not sure if there are more there, or whether it can throw its voice…

restful time in the garden…

  
loving the beautiful weather…
