big girl pants, bunny, evening, goldfinch, hot tub, red squirrel

what a wonderful relaxing evening I have spent in the garden…

on my walk home I met up with this bunny…

  
this was the precursor for the rest of the evening…

while my dinner was cooking, I sat outside on the deck by the hot tub to watch for the goldfinch family… and look who turned up…

  
after supper, had a short nap and came back out to finish my book and have spent the last hour or so enjoying the antics of a little red squirrel…

  
he started out on the bench by the bird feeder…

 
happily snacking on fallen sunflower seeds, he spent some time on the bottom deck…

  

moved over to the planters on the main deck and happily posed for me by the flowers…

under the deck and onto the steps where some leaves were the meal of choice…

  
sparrows have been cleaning up the leftovers under the feeder right beside him and everyone has just gone about their business…

he’s been back and forth just a foot from me for the whole evening, clearly not considering me a threat of any kind…

what a wonderful treat to have the time and opportunity to enjoy the antics in the garden…

active, big girl pants, bunny, goldfinches, hot tub, sky, squirrel

walked home from the grocery store after work…

beautiful evening so I sat outside while my supper cooked…

lots of activity in the garden… 

goldfinches were flirting back and forth to the feeder…

cutest little bunny wandered by…

 
and sat beside the garbage can for the longest time…

a squirrel came right up to me on the deck and gave me a good look… I advised it that this was my deck at which point it turned and scurried off, lol…

a fair bit later, possibly after a nap, I went outside and took this picture of the sky…

 

darkening early as it is getting ready to rain… the garden is quite dark… really enjoying how the white flowers pop in the evening…

  
thinking about a hot tub but may depend on whether there is a downpour…

big girl pants, bunny, deck, garden, goldfinch, hot tub, moment, The Captain's Table, walk

recently I’ve been coming outside and sitting on the deck to write my blog post… lovely way to end the day and another opportunity to get outside…

today I’ve been on all three decks for some period of the day…

 
started the day with an early morning hot tub… turned the waterfall back on so got to hear the lovely water sounds… sat on the back deck and read and watched the various wildlife that visited…

  
besides the goldfinches there were squirrels, butterflies and a large dragonfly… I think the second goldfinch in this picture was a juvenile, not the missus…

  
went in while it rained, and then sat on the deck by the door to read… while there, a cute little bunny came by…

 
sat there for at least ten minutes before hopping away… 

lovely treat when my kids called and three of them met me for supper at The Captain’s Table… my favourite fish and chip place… luckily I walked there and back to help make up for the fried food I ate…

 
they headed off to wash the car andchauffeur one of the other kids, and I stopped at the grocery store to pick up salad fixins for tomorrow’s supper…

noticed the first clematis bloom when I arrived home… it is doing very well this year…

  

going to make some tea and read a bit more while I’m out here and the sky is blue… enjoying the moment…

big girl pants, bunny, crows, light, Spring, sun, walk

everyone is so excited for spring… 

the crows were chatting amongst themselves as I was heading out to my ride this morning…

  
there were a couple of them in the tree…

as we turned onto the next street I caught sight of a good-sized brown bunny…  

on my way home tonight I walked part way and enjoyed the birdsong and the sun on my face…

got a shot of these buds bursting into leaves…

  
sun was shining and the wind had died down… just beautiful out…

just this morning I was thinking about how light it is so early…

looking forward to more warm and sunny days…

yay spring…

daylight…

big girl pants, bunny, daylight, happy, sun

the days have been getting just a little bit longer…

tonight I took this picture at 5:08… the sky is still light…

2015/01/img_0265.jpg
this is very exciting…

2015/01/img_0266.jpg
I was also happy to see the lights shining through the snow… they are solar so the sun must be getting stronger…

a few days ago the lights were still shining in the morning…

just thinking about it makes me happy…

saw the bunny running in the front street this morning… so cute… I do love seeing them…

been using my SAD light in the mornings on weekdays… think it has made a difference, but really, there is nothing like daylight and sunshine…

snow…

beautiful, big girl pants, bunny, footprints, snow, trees

was up at 5:30 this morning and looked out the window to see a bunny wandering through the back yard…

Friday morning when I was putting out the garbage there was a bunny sitting in the middle of the back lane… spent a few moments watching until it moved into a yard…

those are bunny footprints…

it snowed through the night and a bit this morning… trees look stunning…

the garden is beautiful all covered in the snow…

aquasize, blessed, bunny, market, moth, peas, tofu, treats

lovely treats today…

over the noon hour went to the Farmers’ Market located downtown with a colleague and enjoyed our time together… and all the great produce we found…

I picked up baby potatoes, dill, yellow and green beans, baby cucumbers, some fun breads, bison meat and peas… I was so happy about the peas because I was thinking they might already be finished… I love peas…

last thing was a bouquet of yellow lilies which I picked up for my daughter…

20140731-234254-85374172.jpgon my way home stopped in at my daughter’s new office with the flowers and some peas for her family…

was picked up by my friend and we went to aquasize which was another treat…

went out for supper and another friend who I haven’t seen for ages met us there…

20140731-234547-85547512.jpgtasted a tofu dish that was delicious, lol… who knew…

as we were getting into the car spotted a cute little bunny… then home for tea and a visit…

20140731-234909-85749258.jpghuge and delicate looking moth in the concrete jungle…

big girl pants, bunny, Easter, eggs, flowers, George, orchid, pretty

this afternoon I was wishing I had some flowers for tomorrow’s Easter dinner…

not an hour later my nephew stopped by with a lovely orchid for my birthday from he and his mom…

20140419-203106.jpg she and I had a lovely conversation earlier in the day… we don’t see each other often as she is living in the West…

20140419-203346.jpggot to sit on the deck for a while before the sun went behind the clouds and spent time preparing for tomorrow’s dinner… stuffing is done and the potatoes are peeled…

tried to find a pedometer online and over the phone, as we are starting a walking contest at work on Tuesday… no luck yet, but hope to get one on Monday…

took care of a few chores around the house and watched tv…

more melting outside…

20140419-204507.jpgsure hope the Easter bunny stops by before the kids arrive tomorrow, lol…

was always George’s job to make sure the bunny had been… last year I wasn’t able to deal with it, but this year I will check in the morning to see if the bunny came… hope we get mini eggs…

holy…

bible study, bunny, holy, moments, waterfall, wise women

didn’t go into work until ten this morning, since we had a meeting until six…

as I was heading down the stairs I saw my bunny friend in the backyard, and took a few moments to just soak up the view…

20140324-224227.jpg see tracks all the time but not the bunny… seems to have grown quite a bit bigger… can’t tell if it is fluffed up fur or just a big bunny…

you can also see the waterfall rock in this picture as the sun melts the snow, even when the temperature is rather chilly…

tonight four of us met for our BS group… we even did some bible study, lol… can’t think of the last time we did that… focused on opening eyes and seeing… finding the holy in the world around us…

always great to spend time with these wise women…

relaxing day…

bunny, dim sum, Jets Gear store, naps, relaxing day, slept in, Technology

got to sleep in this morning… on my way downstairs I spotted the bunny whose paw prints I’ve been seeing in the garden for weeks… even got a photo, that was fun…

 

bunny whose been visiting the garden...

bunny who has been visiting the garden…

 

relaxed and visited… did some work on the computer, downloading pictures that we’ve taken over the last few days…

a few upset tummies that got a bit worse and then began to improve as the day went on…

headed out for dim sum with the family… seven of us at one table and the four out-of-town boys at another with their dad… we were all very full when we left…

tried to stop at the Jets Gear store, but it was closed… home for naps and then made macaroni and cheese for supper for some of us, while another had leftover turkey…

quiet time as she starts to feel a bit better...

quiet time as she starts to feel a bit better…

watched a bit of TV, including some programs filled with Christmas music… very relaxing day…
