it was mainly overcast and rainy last Thursday, so I spent most of the day inside…

being as the weather was not so great, I decided to work on a project that has been on the list for a while, lol…

first I printed out a list of JD Robb books that I found online…

next I removed all of the books I have and set them on my desk…

I cut some coloured paper to use as markers and compared the list with my books and inserted a sheet of paper where the missing books belonged… I also checked off which books were still needed…

the books went back onto the shelf and I then prepared a spreadsheet listing the whole series and marking which books I still need to complete my set…

happy to get the project completed…

now to send the list off to a friend and Globosapiens bookstore to see how many more we can find;-)…

once I find the remainder, there will need to be some reorganizing of the shelves, as I still need around nineteen, lol…

I think I have found a new favourite spot in the garden;-)…

from here I can see the flower beds and both bird feeders…

not sure if it will continue because soon the hanging chair will come out and that may affect the view, but I am enjoying it for now…

I have two favourite spots in the Tropical Biome…

I always stop and visit with the cacao trees to see how they are doing, particularly as my daughter loves to visit them when she’s in town, lol…

and then there are the koi… standing on the bridge watching them swim around is such a joyful time for me…

they move much slower at night as many of them as sleeping, but I got a nice picture of this one… it is usually difficult to get good photos because of the light reflecting in the water so I was pleased with this one…

we are truly blessed to have this wonderful spot to visit all year round;-)…

it was time to redo the living room table, but I wasn’t quite ready for the full-on Christmas ornaments…

once I thought about it for a while and decided to fill the four sections with some of my “favourite things” I sat and made a list of what those things were to me at the moment, lol…

my list included: family, friends, garden, flowers, books, animals, nature, photography, holidays, technology, rocks, seashells, and crafts…

so I went around the house and found items that represented all of those things… after putting a red and green tablecloth in the bottom I found spots for all of the things…

I’m pleased with how it turned out;-)…

redid the living room table on Thursday…

usually for the holiday season I’ve filled it with glittery purple, silver, and clear ornaments…

this time I decided to change up the display…

first I found a nice piece of fabric and then a a collection of some of my favourite ornaments which would usually be hung on the tree but instead went into the drawers…

I took the glass off the top of the table and filled it with the ornaments before carefully putting it back on…

then three sleighs were set on top… looks good…

pleased to get back to my usual schedule…

my daughter had been staying with friends and my grandson was working so I’ve had the house all to myself…

finally got everything put away from the trip and was able to set up the new chair cushions and the cute little rug I picked up…

I am loving how the garden is looking and have been spending as much time as possible in this, my favourite space…

while going through stuff in the computer room, I came across a few items from my work life…

was so excited to find two Pentel RSVP pens… it wasn’t till I tested to see if the ink still flowed that I remembered how much I loved them… I made it a habit to be sure there were a couple of the purple/violet ones in my desk at all times, lol…

now I have one in the computer room and one in the kitchen, so I can access them at any time…

simple things can make me so happy…

had a quiet day… it was snowing when I got up and didn’t stop until around 4 pm…

then the sun came out and it looked beautiful… looked being the operative word as, sadly, right now it feels like -30 Celsius… brrrrr…

spent a good portion of the day on the couch reading a book by one of my favourite authors and barely got my steps in… when I am into one of those books, it is hard to stop to get up and walk around…
