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;-)…

return…

app, big girl pants, bunny, decorations, exercise, fun, lentils, orchid, plants, read, return, sunshine

decided that today was the day to put away all the Christmas decorations…

for the last few days I’ve taken pictures of many of the ornaments as I knew they’d be coming down soon… used one of my apps to make a nice collage…

  
got my exercise as I brought up boxes, put away ornaments, and took them back downstairs… 

always a bit sad to take everything down… and it took a good portion of the day… maybe because I took a few breaks for reading and napping, lol… did spend some of the time thinking about the fun I had with my friend when we put all the decorations up…

the living room has returned to normal… my plants are happy because they’d been relegated to a back room for the duration…

was happy to get a few pictures of the orchid… it really is amazing…

  
enjoyed seeing the sunshine again…

  
the paths continue to be used constantly… recently the bunny spent a good portion of a day sitting in the garden so I saw it a number of times… it is really big…

tomorrow is my last day before going back to work… gonna try a lentil recipe and get in a bit more reading…

ready…

big girl pants, carve, decorations, halloween, pumpkin, ready, walk

worked the late shift today so first thing I walked over to the grocery store to pick up a few items…

really considered taking the car, but knew I needed the exercise…

on my walk I saw a nicely decorated yard…

  
fun to see it as I was walking by so I could admire all the pieces… was especially taken by the crows, which at first I wasn’t sure were fake, lol…

encouraged me to walk down a different street on my way home to look for other cool places…

been thinking about Halloween and being ready… kids brought me a new candy bowl and I have a box full of chocolate bars…

not so ready with the pumpkin… usually we would have carved three or four pumpkins by now… I don’t even have one to carve… but did notice that there were lots at the grocery store…

hope we have an opportunity to do some carving and decorating…

still have to put out the decorations around the house… usually the boys help me with that too… not as much fun on my own…

will see how ready I am by Saturday, lol…

decorating…

bubbles in the window…

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…
