Sunday was a beautiful fall day…

we disconnected the hose at the tap, undid the three connections to the pond, irrigation system, and hose (which was then hooked up in the laundry room for the winter)… still have to blow out the irrigation lines…

then I spent quite awhile digging out the three dahlias and repotting the begonia… will see if it will act like a houseplant over the winter…

put the dahlias in an empty pot and will leave them in the garage for a few more days to dry out before relocating them into the basement…

moved pots off the steps and deck… that big pot was interesting to move, but I got it done… once the garage has been tidied up the obelisk will move there…

then I spent a few hours reading in the afternoon sunshine;-)…

happy to have accomplished more of the “w” prep, lol…

I’ve been having trouble with the computer upstairs… for the last few weeks it kept advising that it wasn’t connected to the internet… tried many things, but nothing seemed to work… the wifi had been coming and going as well…

a few days ago I went to call MTS about my services and thought I should just take a quick look to be sure it was still disconnected…

and, of course, it connected right away, lol…

when I spoke with a technician, they advised they did something while we were on the call and it shouldn’t be a problem anymore…

I guess we will see;-)…

attention…

attention, big girl pants, disconnected, leaves, Ottawa, reminder, skeletons, trees

today’s events in Ottawa are a reminder that we never know what is going to take place…

felt disconnected all day…

need to pay attention to what is going on around me and enjoy each special piece of life that comes along… stop and smell the roses…

got dropped off by the high school and had a good walk home and took the time to enjoy that walk…

IMG_8946.JPGa few leaves are still on some trees and these ones were a lovely colour…

IMG_8948.JPGmany of the trees are dressing as skeletons for Halloween…

IMG_8949.JPGthe sky had been overcast all day and it seemed to mirror my feelings… not long after I got home it started to rain and it has continued for quite a while…

Forgot…

Burton Cummings, colleague, disconnected, exhausted, made me laugh, phones, Technology

was so exhausted last night from the busy last few days at work and home that I forgot to write a post…

I can’t think of the last time I was too tired to even bring the house phone downstairs and put it on the charger…

my link to the world...

my link to the world…

maybe it had to do with leaving my smart phone at work and being without it until a colleague kingly dropped it off on their way home from a late shift a work…  she told me it was beeping and chatting the whole time she had it…

it was quite amazing how disconnected I felt without it… which really made me laugh this morning when I read a post by Burton Cummings about how much he disliked his cell phone…

and my kids...

and my kids…

technology, and how we make use of it, is quite funny, actually…
