busy time in the garden on Saturday…

my grandson came, whipper snipped, trimmed the weeds in the driveway, and blew all the leaves and detritus… we do like the blower, which can also act as a vacuum… everything looks tidy… he also helped get one of the bubble machines going…

a bit later Hilda the Gardener spent time weeding and tidying so that the garden looks well cared for… it is always such a treat to see how lovely everything looks after she’s been here…

meanwhile, I had lightly fertilized the plants that are heavy feeders, filled bird feeders and pulled out a few weeds in the new grass…

bubbles make me happy…

last night I made Friendship Soup that had been a Christmas gift…

the recipe called for a pound of hamburger, canned tomatoes, pepper and water…

it also called for tomato paste, but I didn’t have any so added some Clamato juice instead…

browned the meat…

added the tomatoes and water…

took it to work this morning and it filled the crockpot to the brim… it made a huge amount of delicious soup which everyone loved…

as I was washing the container the Dawn dish soap produced a bunch of bubbles which floated all over the kitchen and brought a smile to my face…

made my day… another awesome special moment…

Advent, big girl pants, bubbles, Christmas, decorations, feather, friends, glitter, pottery, purple, trees, widow

what a wonderful afternoon… two dear friends came over to help me put up my Christmas decorations… one focussed on the living room and the other made the pottery on the dining room wall sparkle… we had such fun and great conversation as we worked away… well, mostly they worked, and I sat on the couch… my knee was not happy with the fall yesterday…

one tree went into the bay window inside one of my favourite sleighs… two of the drawers in the table were filled with silver and purple ornaments…

the second tree went across the room next to an angel and a large purple glitter ball…

purple feather trees and a family-made nativity lamp go together beautifully…

the stunning glitter trees with glass reindeer are lovely on the fish tank… of course there is glitter everywhere on the main floor now, lol…

these bubbles have lived in the dining room window at Christmas for the last three years… love how they look with the various ribbons that hold them up…and they reflect so nicely…

and all the pottery looks beautiful, newly organized in the nooks…

things can look so different from another viewpoint…

now all that’s needed are my advent boxes;-)…

decorating…

also put up some decorations… I’d seen something on Pinterest and had wanted to try it and had fun hanging up some glass ornaments using the idea…

through the window..

through the window…

broke one in the process, but was very happy with the outcome… it also reminded me of the special time we had at the Champagne Bubble Party this summer because I was using the clear glass ornaments that we hung all over the garden to represent bubbles…

moved the Norfolk pine into the window but not sure if I will leave it there…

stuck cover on hot tub...

stuck cover on hot tub…

never did get out to try and open the lid of the hot tub… maybe after work tomorrow…

been thinking of the importance of family and how blessed I am with the wonderful family that I have… George would be so proud of all the kids…
