big girl pants, clouds, morning glory, sky, traffic, yesterday

yesterday the clouds were lovely throughout the whole day…

  
stopped at the end of the street on my way to work and got this picture…

  
had an opportunity, at a light, to shoot the sky toward downtown…

  
enjoyed the clouds reflected in one of the buildings on my arrival at the office…

  
view over the new police headquarters…

like the clouds particularly when there is still some blue sky visible, lol… 

and finally, on the drive home, got this picture of the church steeple and sky…

  
sadly I was in some dreadful traffic at the time and had ample opportunity to check out the sky…

not sure why I have been so struck by clouds recently, although we have certainly had more dull overcast days over the last few years… way more than we used to have…

maybe that is why I love the morning glories which look like they are lit with sunlight from within…

big girl pants, clouds, garden, rain, sky, sunshine, weather

weather has been interesting over the weekend…

yesterday morning I took these pictures of clouds looking in two directions…

   
 

and last night as I was walking home from supper out with the kids…

  
although it had been raining just a while before, in this shot it was beautiful…

today was a bit overcast early in the day and then the sun came out and lit up the garden as I worked in one section… happy with my work…

  
put out all the cushions and we had a lovely visit when the kids came for dinner… 

had supper on the deck, and just finished in time to move everything into the house and garage as the sky darkened…

poured for about fifteen minutes after they drove out of the driveway… left footprints when I went into the garden afterwards…

  
then this:-)…

  
certainly lots of variety…

big girl pants, clouds, sun, tgif

on my way downstairs this morning I ran back to the bedroom and got my phone so I could take this picture…

  
it was 6:37 am… the sky was amazing…

  

this was out the same window at 7:15 am…

was supposed to be sunny all day but this did not bode well…

the sky was beautiful as we drove downtown at 8:05 am… I love it when the sun shines through clouds…

 

the sun did shine for the entire day which was wonderful…

as I write this it is just getting dark outside… light really is staying longer every day…

although I was off on Monday, it feels like it has been a long week… 

tgif:-)…

big girl pants, clouds, overcast, see, sky, snow, sun

first thing I saw when I stepped outside this morning…

  
as I drove to work the sun came in and out of view in the overcast sky… was very happy to be able to stop at the end of the street and get a shot of it… kind of hard to tell that actually is the sun, lol…

 
after work I drove home with my visor down to protect my eyes from the bright sun…

saw some beautiful cloud formations…

  
again, very lucky to have a red light so that I could take the picture…

tonight I read about how a young friend had a conversation about what clouds look like with their child on their way home today… they were probably looking up at the same time as I was…

still cold and windy, but the snow has gone…

amazing what you can see over the course of the day if you take the time to look…

look…

big girl pants, clouds, conversation, look up, Spruce Woods, sunset

look up, look out…

that was today’s motto as I took a drive to Carberry with my friend…

weather was perfect and there was lots of conversation and snacking going on…

IMG_9151.JPGstopped in Spruce Woods Provincial Park and got a few nice pictures…

IMG_9152.JPGthe wind was making this little guy’s tail wave in a tree at the rest stop…

IMG_9147.JPGwe were astonished at the waterline, visible on the trees for miles, from the flooding this past summer…

IMG_9148.JPGthere were wonderful cloud formations all the way along… just caught the sunset in the rear view mirror…

IMG_9149-0.JPGdidn’t last more than about thirty seconds…

IMG_9150.JPGfinally enjoyed these beautiful pink tinged clouds… just before the dark took over the sky… last night we changed from Central Daylight to Central Standard time so it got dark an hour earlier than the night before… of course it is lighter when we get up…

wonderful day…

baby snuggles, clouds, hot tub, sky, Sunday

early morning hot tubs are becoming a Sunday pattern…

this morning I took out my phone and took a few pictures right from the tub…

IMG_8997.JPGit was lovely… for the first five minutes the jets weren’t going so I could hear the quiet and watch the squirrel make his rounds to collect peanuts…

ran out to do a few errands and picked up a pastry for my lunch… it was delicious…

IMG_8999.JPGthe sky was beautiful…

IMG_8998.JPGsun shone for the majority of the day although the clouds filled the sky in the early evening but it didn’t rain, so that was good…

a young friend stopped by so that I could get some baby snuggles… she has twins, but only brought the little guy… the little girl had gone out with her daddy…

IMG_9001.JPGnothing like baby snuggles to make your day… it was great fun to watch the boys take turns holding him as well…

good times…

changes…

big girl pants, changes, clouds, door, fridge, moon, stove

the sky was lovely this morning… I got a shot of the clouds…

IMG_8661.JPGdid a bit of tidying up while I was waiting for my new stove and fridge…

IMG_8662.JPGthey are not brand new, but new to me… my son-in-law, and his brother, brought them over and put the stove in easily… we weren’t able to replace the glass on top, but hope to do that in the next week or so…

IMG_8663.JPGthe fridge on the other hand was a different story… had to take off the back door to get it into the house… then they had to take off the door in the basement… then they had to take off the two fridge doors… then they had to take off two fasteners at the bottom of the fridge and that was when they ran out of time…

so there is a fridge with no doors in the middle of the basement, waiting to get into the back room and be put back together…

IMG_8664.JPGto finish off the day I watched the moon go by my window… it was beautiful…

lots of changes today…

big girl pants, clouds, hibiscus, rain, sky, tri-colour

tonight, on my way home, the sky had some frightening looking clouds…

was finally able to get a picture part way home, although by then they weren’t quite as horrible looking… this was about 4:20…

20140707-211844-76724187.jpgmade it in the door about three minutes before the torrential rain began… only lasted for a few minutes..

20140707-211957-76797488.jpghard to see it coming down but the pavement was completely wet in a very short time…

it is beautiful now…

20140707-212239-76959771.jpgforgot that the hibiscus is a tri-colour… the last flowers were reddish orange… the next bloom looks like it is going to be yellow…

20140707-212706-77226356.jpgthat’s pretty cool…

ahhhhh…

ahhhh, clouds, garden, giod day, hot tub, potato salad, rest

was supposed to rain, so I got up early and had a peaceful hot tub to start the day…

then into the garden to read and enjoy a cup of tea…

20140621-191900-69540956.jpglately I’ve been using a travel mug so that my tea doesn’t get filled with elm seeds, lol, although I think they are just about finished raining down from the trees…

20140621-192406-69846634.jpgsome areas of the garden are stunning, while others need work…

spent a bit of time preparing five pounds of potato salad for the nine year old’s birthday party tomorrow…

20140621-193102-70262512.jpgnever did rain but a few times there was thunder and spectacular clouds…

20140621-193244-70364622.jpga good day…

20140425-221957.jpgarrived in Ottawa and Cyndi met me and we took a bendy bus back to their place… almost immediately we headed downtown to Poutine Fest…

20140425-222213.jpgtasted six kinds of poutine, one of which was lobster…

20140425-222324.jpgyum, yum, yum…

the weather was beautiful, nice with just a sweater on… we walked to the Centennial Flame in front of the Parliament building where I took a few pics with my Nikon…

20140425-222938.jpgsaw Quebec from a distance and returned to the apartment…

opened lovely birthday presents, which had a purple theme, had a short rest, and then headed to St. Laurent Mall to find something to wear tomorrow afternoon… we had a very productive visit…

20140425-223302.jpghome now and thinking about bed…

and I walked 11,535 steps today… think my teammates will be happy about that:-)…
