I was brushing my hair recently and thinking of my grandma…

she was a force to be reckoned with… she worked all her life and struggled with health issues for a good portion of that time… she played the piano like a pro and spent the last years of her life homebound and making regular calls to shut ins to keep them connected;-)…

this was her brush, which I use every now and then… she wore her hair about an inch long and brushed straight up;-)…

been spending a bit of time each morning in the veggie patch (aka the side garden)…

the tomatoes have been doing well and there are now pea pods beginning to fill out, flowers on the beans, a few new cucumbers starting and, just maybe a squash…

there have been many squash flowers, but they have mostly been male… I have been trying to pollinate the female flowers in hopes of getting at least one squash…

one batch of cucumbers haven’t put out even the start of a cucumber, so I have been brushing them with a drafting brush that was my beloved’s in the hope that some might get pollinated and produce fruit…

think I will try to plant another few beans and see if they have enough time to produce;-)…

beautiful, big girl pants, brush, garden, Indi, scene, snow, weather, widow

snow fell all day long yesterday and it has finally accumulated a bit… we’ve seen very little snow up till now… this was how Indi looked when I got out to the parking lot…

it wasn’t too cold and the snow was still falling gently… I actually enjoyed brushing the car off… which was funny because a man walking by asked if I was having fun… and I said yes, I was… not sure I will feel the same in a month…

last night as I was walking by the hallway window I took this picture of the beautiful scene in the garden… tonight I got a few shots of the freshly shoveled yard…

snow is so wonderful to look at when you don’t have to go out, or shovel it, lol…

beautiful, big girl pants, brush, camera, car, pictures, snowflakes, widow

got out to the car around 7:15 pm and there were huge fluffy snowflakes on it… not tons, but enough that I needed to brush them off…

was in a hurry to get home as my Monday night friends arrive between 7:30 and 8 and I wanted to have the coffee going when they turn up…

got out the brush and then had to go back into my purse and get out the camera so I could take a few pictures…

luckily my spot is right by a light so I could get some good shots…

this was the best one…


snowflakes are so beautiful… glad I took the time to check them out…

fun day…

went to the Renovation Show with my daughter… we are OK, or so said the stamp on our hands, lol… didn’t get to see Brian Baeumler, but wandered around and picked up some very helpful information…

  
had quite a good time… picked up a couple of things…

  

a gelcool pillow which makes me very happy as it will make my head feel cooler so I don’t have to do my regular flip of the pillow in the middle of the night… 

also this beautifully designed toilet cleaner brush, which looks like a piece of art, or an arrow, as my grandson suggested…

and a new Tupperware measuring cup to replace the one I’ve been using to make popcorn, which is kind of ruined, lol… exciting because they have just reintroduced it…
found a new natural system for the hot tub… will use enzymes instead of the current chemicals I put in, and way less will need to be added… 

finally picked up a paring knife which fits my hand perfectly… been looking for one that is comfortable in my palm forever…

picked up the last few items for our taco supper, came home and finished it up… 

had quite the start this morning as I was chopping tomatoes… looked over and saw this…

 
nearly jumped out of my skin because I thought it was a spider… just the stem from one of the tomatoes, lol…

supper was gobbled up… I am so happy when everyone enjoys our meal and time together… two and three helpings were had, and the littlest one even ate the meat happily… in fact he had two plates of taco salad before he ate his usual taco… 

such fun to see them begin to try, and enjoy, new things…

as I enjoy my Sunday afternoons and evenings with my grandkids I realize how lucky I am to be in close proximity to them… many grandparents I know only get to see their kids now and again, and I am able to see them grow every week…

grandparenting is one of the best jobs I’ve ever had… life is good…
