big girl pants, blessed, colour, fish, green, happy, memories, moments, Patrick’s Day, rash guard, shirt, St., widow

I have always dressed for special days, such as red on Valentine’s Day, green on St. Patrick’s Day, etc…

today, I spent a number of minutes looking through the closet in search of something green… this is rather funny considering I am home alone all day, lol…

what I found was the blue and green rash guard shirt that I got in Hawaii… so that’s what I put on… this shirt doesn’t get much wear…

certainly not a bright green, but still green… and I’m sure the fish are pleased with my choice;-)…

the colours of the trees are so pretty right now…

one of the trees on my street has zero leaves on it now… many of the others are losing their leaves bit by bit…

it amazes me how all of a sudden they are all on the ground…

was able to pull over and take this photo this morning as I was going down the next street…

big construction on the street that I usually travel to get to work and I keep forgetting to turn north out of the driveway, lol…

the trees are lovely even as they change colour…

the canopy on this street doesn’t meet up in the middle as much as some of the other streets… still beautiful…

always trying to get a shot of one of these streets without cars, lol…

today I got to drive my new car to work for the first time…

flowers were the first thing that got carried in the car… how lovely is that;-)…

I’ve been contemplating her name for a while now… depending on the light the colour moves from blue to purple…

spent some time checking out purple-ish names… had fourteen on my list but the ones that resonated the most were

amethyst – orchid – periwinkle – indigo

in the end Indigo was the winner… it is described as a colour between blue and purple…

she will go by Indi;-)… suits her…

app, big girl pants, colour, light bulb, plug, Smartpad, Technology, widow

this morning I remembered to take a few shots as I was using my BeeWi SmartPad app…

I find it so handy, particularly at night when I am heading upstairs and have my hands full…

I can turn it on from my phone downstairs before I head up… it also can change colour but I don’t really use that piece of it…

thinking I might get a few more of the light bulbs and maybe even one for a plug… not sure what else they have…

technology is such fun when it works, lol…

bedroom, big girl pants, colour, drawn, paint, paint chip, pink, Rona, welcome, widow

spent some time at Rona on Saturday looking for just the right colour of paint for the bedroom…

brought home this paint chip and think it may have just the right colour…

I am often drawn to a colour by the name…

the one I am leaning towards is Angel’s Gaze… cool for a bedroom and has a slight pink tone…

for years the living room was painted a lovely pale pink which made it so welcoming and comfortable…

looking forward to the changes…

appreciate…

appreciate, big girl pants, colour, dinner, family, fish, memories, Mexico, pond, pumpkins, thanksgiving, time, vacation, weather, widow

what a lovely day… kids arrived and we decided to head out to get a few pumpkins… on our way we FaceTimed with the kids in Ottawa… good to see them and share Thanksgiving greetings…

we’ve been trying to get to Schwabe Pumpkins for a few weeks… it was chilly and rain came down a few times while we were there, but fun, and we really enjoyed the colours as we drove there and back…

when we got home the boys caught the fish, cleaned and got the aquarium going, and moved the fish into their condo…

the youngest two reorganized the sea shells as we talked about the fun we had in Mexico in March…

dinner was delicious and cleanup was quick with all the help… leftovers for here and there were packed up and they headed home…

I certainly appreciated having their company for the day… now to bed…

been enjoying the colours of the leaves and trees everywhere…

took a few pictures over the last few days… beautiful orange on elms on my street and the gorgeous gold on trees in the Millennium Library Park by the office…

and this lovely collection of leaves beside Shadow this morning… the crunching sound is so cool…

I’ve also noticed a number of trees that were stunning last week and are bare now…

beautiful, big girl pants, chuckle, colour, Friday, giggle, love, sign, sky, sunrise, widow

the sky was absolutely stunning this morning on my drive to work… from the moment I turned east until I turned into the parking lot it kept changing…

from pink and gold to blue and mauve the entire time… didn’t have a good spot anywhere along the way to take a picture and I don’t think I could have taken one that would show the actual beauty…

it was a lovely start to Friday…

I’ve been giggling since I got home and discovered that the reason the love sign in the window hasn’t looked right is the fact that the o was backwards…

was a great chuckle for me and a good start to the long weekend…

big girl pants, car, colour, leaves, stain, upholstery, walk, widow

Wednesday morning I took the leftover pickled veggies for my lunch…

realized when I got out of the car that the container had leaked all over the front seat…

used Kleenex and a heavy item from the glove compartment to see if I could soak it up…

still a wet stain when I got into the car at the end of the day… at home I brought out some towels and used a number of 2 by 4s to weigh them down… still there in the morning so I called the Chamois and booked an appointment to have the upholstery shampooed…

took it in this morning and spent an hour at Costco while it was being worked on… only had two grocery bags so needed to be a bit careful in what I picked up…

what I didn’t realize was that the seats would be quite wet when I picked it up…

the car is now in the garage with the windows wide open… hope it dries before Monday morning…

went to a play at PTE with a friend this afternoon and afterwards she dropped me at my neighbourhood grocery store… didn’t want to drive the car while it is still soggy…

picked up the few things I needed and walked home…

the leaves that were still on the trees/bushes were gorgeous…

this hedge was a lovely shade of red…

love the yellows and oranges in this section…

and then there are the trees that have lost all their leaves…

after all that I had a lovely nap, lol…
