bags, big girl pants, blessed, dahlias, flowers, garden, memories, moments, nature, plants, purple, Technology, tubers, widow

spent time this morning with the dahlia tubers…

when I dug them up a while back, I put them in different containers so I would remember which was which…

I think I got them right, lol…

I’ve read a lot of blogs and watched many videos on how to overwinter the tubers… of course the information is all slightly different…

last year only one of the ones I saved was usable, so we will see what happens with this year’s batch…

each type is in a paper bag and the bags are all in a bin that will go into a cool dark place in the basement…

I’ve left a bit of soil around them and not separated any… and I should check on them a few times to be sure they aren’t getting mouldy… maybe I will be able to find the eyes better in the spring…

fingers crossed…

amazing, bags, big girl pants, colleagues, tags, widow

I work with the most amazing group of people…

we are preparing for a big event and it has taken a lot of work…

yesterday colleagues worked in shifts to make sure that every tag was ready…

today, while I worked on lists, everyone else packed bags… besides staff we had a few volunteers who stopped by to help us…

a job that might have taken the entire day was completed inside of three hours… it was lovely to hear the chatter of the crew as they circled the tables getting the work done…

everyone pitches in for whoever needs the help… many times these individuals have surprised me with their ongoing support…

it really is an amazing place…

home…

Atlanta, bags, big girl pants, duty free, full moon, home, seats, travel

woke up to another great day in Atlanta…


lazed around a bit and packed up our bags… always interesting how difficult it is to get the same stuff back into your bag, lol…

headed to the airport hoping we could get seats together on the plane… apparently you need to book online as soon as you can because when we went to check in there were no empty seats and we were at opposite ends of the plane…

decided to head out early and have a nice breakfast at the airport… not to happen… when we finally got to the correct terminal – after taking the train again – all they had was a food court, sigh…

this was my breakfast…


wasn’t quite what we imagined it would be… it was a full moon after all…

at the gate we were advised we were stuck in the seats we had been assigned… I ended up in the furthest window seat at the back of the plane, where there is no window and the seats don’t recline at all… really felt claustrophobic the whole flight… strange that they were far apart as we booked them together…

my daughter had purchased some duty free liquor and when we arrived in Toronto and made it to the security line we were advised it wasn’t in the right bag, duh, so we had to leave the area and go back to WestJet check in and leave her bag, with the liquor there to be checked… luckily we had a spare cloth bag… then we had to go back through security again… omg… good thing there was time before our flights…

we ordered some lunch in an Irish pub place and it took a long time to arrive… thankfully it was right beside the two gates we needed…

after lunch we spent a last few minutes to say goodbye between the two gates before we each headed to our flights…


standing in line I could see her waiting for her flight…

two and a half hours later and I was home… unpacked a bit, had a bite of supper and heading off to bed as I work tomorrow…

a great trip and lots of fun… 

now, back to reality…
