the other day when I was talking with my daughter, she mentioned they were having zucchini basil soup for their supper…

made me realize that I hadn’t made it for ages, so then I was craving it, lol…

yesterday morning I started it… it is a simple recipe with just a few ingredients…

after cooking it, it was blended and made a delicious smooth soup…

cooked some chicken thighs to add to it…

so tasty…

most of it for me, but maybe a few items for Christmas;-)…

I’m really happy with the newest outdoor camera…

the night picture is much sharper than the other cameras around the house…

another lovely walk along the Harte Trail on Remembrance Day afternoon…

it felt like -4° Celsius and there was a bit of wind although the sun was shining brightly…

we walked a little bit past the distance we did last time…

we spotted two deer and watched them for a few minutes before they bounced along the ditch beside the path…

we were dressed for the cold and were very comfortable… then this person passed us;-)…

I guess different strokes for different folks…

picked up an amaryllis when I was out grocery shopping on November 8th…

I am a bit sceptical whether it will do anything as it did not look very good…

the bulb was shrivelled with some dead bits at the top…

but, I planted it and put it close to a heating vent and have my fingers crossed;-)…

releases…

a friend dropped by for a visit on Saturday morning and brought me a few books…

a bit later my housemate and I went to Globosapiens to pick up some additional books… this time I chose some new releases as well as some of the authors I usually read…

the Halloween decorations had filled up most of the stairs as there were very few books left to read…

I took this (⬆️) photo on November 1st before the decorations came down…

now, the stair library is booming once again;-)… woohoo… I haven’t been enjoying the current read, so may just put that one aside and start on one of these;-)…

on Thursday I cleaned the poppy bird feeder and attached it to the front rail…

I noticed that I’d set it out a bit earlier last year…

I also dug out two poppies to put on my jacket and t-shirt…

last year I had purchased some little button pins to keep from losing them, lol…

I still make sure to make a donation as, before the pin, I ended up losing a couple and needing to replace them, lol…

hoodies…

I am absolutely thrilled with the job Vicky’s Alterations did putting zippers in two hoodies…

I had stopped wearing one although it was very comfy… unfortunately, it was just too difficult to take it off…

it looks great and like it always had a zipper in it…

now it is easy to get on and off…

the zipper matched perfectly on the second hoodie…

so happy;-)…

cleaners…

my tea towel on the stove, folded very nicely by the cleaners who were here a few days ago, reminded me of how blessed I am…

for years we couldn’t afford a cleaner…

but for the last number of years I’ve had a company come in once a month to do the basics which makes me feel like the house is mainly clean, lol…

I am ever thankful to my beloved who made this wonderful gift possible;-)… I continue to miss him every single day…
