recently a few people have commented on the plants in the office…

my space is filled with orchids, violets and other greenery…

I always give credit to our plant whisperer who keeps the green things extra green…

I also mention how much I enjoy my orchids… sometimes they bloom a second and third time… it is so exciting when that happens…

lovely to spend my day in a garden;-)..

great day at the office yesterday… triple treats…

arrived to find a gift at my desk… a remedy from Sage…

it was Souper day and we had a tasty lentil soup with delicious sides provided by those who didn’t make the soup…

and topped off the day with a collection of doughnuts… I only had 2 quarters;-)…

pretty fine day…

beloved, big girl pants, blessed, blog, followers, loss, memories, moments, Technology, widow

just reached 350 followers on WordPress…

laughed the other day when a friend introduced me and said that I had 3000 followers… really made me giggle, lol… 300… 3000… very close;-)…

it has taken six years to reach that number…

had me thinking of the changes over that time… how the blog has gone from information on what to do when you become a widow/widower to my daily life…

my life really has been blessed… as I continue to put on those big girl pants…

enjoyed some time in the hot tub this morning…

although, having a hot tub Saturday evening and Sunday morning doesn’t work that well because my water shoes don’t have time to dry completely… they are rather cold and soggy, lol…

watched chickadees and nuthatches come and go to the feeder and have snacks…

a bit later in the day I watched more chickadees and nuthatches in the front yard…

such fun to get to enjoy the moments with the critters all around…

today I trimmed the hibiscus as it has been growing out in all kinds of odd directions…

I’ve read that this isn’t the best time to prune hibiscus, but it really needed to be tidied up…

and then, after I’d removed some branches, I realized that I had cut off buds!

very sad about that… put them in water and set them in the bathroom… hope they might still bloom;-)…

this morning I came across these pictures on Facebook…

they are from eleven years ago… before our youngest grandson was born…

a reminder for me that the boys have helped transfer the fish for many years…

I am able to enjoy these memories most of the time now when I come across them… not nearly so difficult to see photos of my beloved, which is a good thing…

somewhere I have a couple of boxes filled with Halloween decorations…

for the life of me, can’t find them…

so, this year there are two pumpkins, two witches’ hats, a cape and a skeleton to decorate, lol…

but a friend is over… we picked up Za Pizza for supper, and we have goodies to give out…

happy halloween…

picked up a poppy the other day…

dug around and found a backing piece and put the poppy on my jacket… I hate to lose them…

it feels important to wear this sign of respect for our veterans and those who serve now…

I remember my mom and dad, my father-in-law and my son-in-law…
