Sunday marked nine years that I have been at my current work…

it is a great place to work and I have enjoyed being there since day one…

over the last few weeks I prepared thank you cards and ordered flowers…

they arrived on Monday morning… beautiful…

it is always a treat to see how much everyone enjoys receiving a note and choosing a flower…

ordered enough so we could put a few at the front desk;-)…

Kings Florist do a great job and even sent a few extras… I sure am blessed…

another beautiful day in paradise…

early this morning I walked down to the beach and got a few great pictures…

in an effort to find a good internet connection I walked down a very narrow trail to get to a spot where there was LTE service…

the trail brought back so many memories… all the years we camped at Falcon and Birds Hill and went on many hikes along trails that were just like this one…

at the end of the trail were some pretty rocks which I clearly am not going to be able to take home, sigh…

there are many poplars here and the sound of the wind blowing through them is also a reminder of camping in Birds Hill with friends…

missing my beloved… he would have loved this…

been thinking about poppies…

over the last forty years we’ve always had poppies in the garden… some years there would be fifteen or twenty … other years, maybe three…

the spring following George’s death there were over fifty…

it was amazing and so beautiful… seemed like he was here with me…

this year there are plants, but not a single bloom…

was able to take pictures of flowers today which always brightens my day…

when I first stepped out of the house this morning the fuchsia was so stunning that it stopped me in my tracks… had to take a some photos…

there are a number of small bouquets in the office and I was able to wander around and get a few shots…

and then I spotted the blooms getting ready to open on one of the African violets in my office…

flowers make me happy and I was pleased to be able to spend a few moments enjoying the ones I came across…

the sky was absolutely amazing this morning…

I took these pictures between 6:07 and 7:15 am…

the sunrise was spectacular… on the drive downtown the sunlight was streaming through the clouds… not a single red light all the way to the office… and by the time I got there the clouds had filled the sky…

just before I left the office for the weekend, I got a photo of my amethysts… today we heard a designer talk about the importance of feeling good in your workspace and as I get used to my office I do enjoy all of the bits and pieces that make it mine and make me feel happy…

once I arrived home I took a picture of a piece of the Rice Krispie cake that my sweet colleague brought me this afternoon…

was so busy getting ready to leave the house early this morning that I forgot to take something out for dinner, but made a veggie omelette… it was tasty…

and now for a four day weekend;-)…

there had been lots in the news for a few days that we were going to get a big snowstorm but we’ve dodged every one that had been mentioned all winter…

until Sunday night, lol… it started with rain and by morning everything was covered in snow…

and it kept falling all day… stopped late in the afternoon…

we are used to snow and storms here… most people went about their daily business… it was just a storm, lol…

when I got home I could not see where the sidewalk was… the snow had covered everything completely… even the trees were weighed down with the beautiful, but very heavy, snow…

I was very lucky because my kids came over and shoveled and snowblowed, clearing the sidewalks and driveway…

today it was as if nothing had happened… another example of how things can change in a very short time…

didn’t even get my camera, just enjoyed a few wonderful moments of soaking it in…

my colleague is away but these tulips are patiently waiting her return… hope she gets back while they are still beautiful;-)…

well that was nice…

texted my grandson, the shoveler, to say that there was a bit of snow on the driveway and sidewalks… it was quite beautiful as I looked out this morning before and after footprints were made…

we met at the office after work, stopped for gas and picked up some chicken wings for our supper… made a salad and we watched some Olympics…
