productive day on Sunday…

topped up the hot tub, did laundry, prepped a few meals for the coming week, spent some time relaxing in the garden…

finished a book, watered plants, cleaned the fish tank, and consulted with Hilda the Gardener…

she very kindly sent me some before pictures…

had lunch out with my grandson, grocery shopped and got home to see the beautifully tidied front flower beds…

put away the groceries while the lawn was being mowed… went out and took a few photos of the tidied front beds…

fit in a nap, warmed up some leftovers for supper and watched a few PVR’d shows…

phew…

serene…

the rain is gently falling now… which is wonderful because it has been very dry for weeks…

but this morning it was lovely out and I spent some quality time in the garden taking pictures of flowers…

spending time in the garden is rejuvenating for me… there is something so serene and peaceful in this space…

it reminds me of so many wonderful activities we’ve celebrated in this space…

here are a few pictures from this morning… I hope you enjoy seeing them, as much as I did taking them…

pleasant…

well, what a pleasant surprise…

the cleaners came today… they usually come on the first Monday of the month and I expected they wouldn’t be here until next week as yesterday was a holiday…

luckily, I tidied up this morning before I left for work…

the house just feels better when I walk in and I know right away that they’ve been…

I always giggle when they rearrange the cushions, lol…

I am so blessed…

my grandson and I went out for sushi and then we picked up some goldfish and shubunkins for the pond, and a few more pond plants…

the crazy thing is that the Manitoba government has banned floating water hyacinth and water lettuce after deciding they are invasive plants… and in the Amazon and southern USA, they are… but here they cannot survive the winter, even in the house… very frustrating as these plants really provide protection for baby fish in the pond… and help with slowing algae growth, sigh…

anyway, we put a few water lilies in and some parrot feather so hopefully the little fish will use those and be safe from the big fish until they grow a bit more;-)…

once he got all the fish into the pond, he worked to make sure the plants won’t fall over and the pots aren’t visible…

looks great and I think the fish are happy…

really enjoy spending time with him…

had a spur-of-the-moment walk and breakfast with a friend…

she texted me early to see if I wanted to go for a wander through the English and Leo Mol Gardens… of course I did;-)…

threw on my clothes, walked over and met her at the Park…

we had a lovely visit as we circled the Gardens being careful not to get sprinkled on as many sections and paths were getting misted, lol…

from there we moved over to the Park Cafe for a great breakfast…

and then we enjoyed a little retail therapy…

lovely treat to start the day…

such a lovely day…

was up and in the hot tub while the moon was a crescent in the sky… then I went back to bed and slept for another three hours…

in the garden and had all the cushions out before breakfast, after mowing the grass… spent the entire morning reading and listening to the waterfall…

after lunch had a nap and went for a pedicure…

company for dinner and then spent the remainder of the evening in the garden…

blissful…

this morning I walked around the garden to get a few photos of the daisies that had opened overnight…

and I discovered this wasp (I think)… it was sitting on the daisy and not moving… I took a number of photos and then started to wonder if it was alive…

as I took the last two photos I could see it breathing, so was really happy…

I am rather pleased with this photo because it has not been altered at all;-)…

it has been over seven years since my beloved left us…

I still have difficult days… they often come in clusters and I’m in the midst of one right now…

today, when I was grocery shopping, orchids were on sale… so as a lovely reminder of my beloved I picked up two…

two purple orchids on living room coffee tableorchids

they do make me smile when I think of all the ones he brought home for me over the years…

he would have enjoyed the orchid farm on Maui…

I miss him so much…

today, had delicious homemade muffins and scones, wth fruit and cheese for breakfast, and went for lunch at Smith…

don’t have any plans for tomorrow, lol… how sad is that…

early this morning watered all the plants in the garden with a bucket… it meant that I got lots of steps in and did a bit of weight training, lol…

summer is nearly upon us…

so enjoy the time to wander around the space and enjoy the beauty…

morning is my best time… by the end of the day I am often just interested in vegging out in front of the tv…
