today I got an email from MyFitnessPal congratulating me on six years of using the app… I started using this one not too long after I started using my first Fitbit…

it is the place where I keep track of my calorie intake… it took a while to figure out how to get the most value from it…

today I also picked up flowers… they make me feel happy and in these darker and busy days put a smile on my face…

and when I got home and walked into the house it smelled wonderful as both of the hyacinth flowers were blooming…

what a treat…

enjoyed some beautiful flowers today…

was at the office for a few hours and the African violet was still blooming and looked so nice…

I was laughing when I got home to see that the hibiscus was blooming again… the buds started opening when my daughter arrived in the city… she and my son-in-law have been house-sitting for a friend and while she’s been gone it has not bloomed… she arrived home about five minutes before I took this shot…

finally, while I was out today, I picked up this cute little tree that was on sale at Safeway… I bought it instead of flowers;-)…

a lovely addition to my tree collection;-)…

had some fun with flowers over the last couple of days…

on Wednesday, when I was at Safeway, I spotted these cute little poinsettias… they were the perfect addition to the table settings for our Holiday Celebration… the florist packaged them up for me and once I got them home and slightly unwrapped, they sat on the dining room table for a day…

this morning I wrapped them back up and took them over to Boston Pizza… had to wait outside the door for a while before someone let me in… apparently they don’t have many people at their doorstep at 7:45 am…

and finally tonight they brightened up the tables and acted as prizes for the event…

certainly remind me of the beauty of the holidays;-)…

yesterday my hibiscus started to bloom…

when it moved into the house in late September it lost some of its leaves…

it didn’t bloom outside until really late in the season, so I was very happy when the buds started to form in the house…

it always takes a long time from the first bud to the blossom so I was surprised when I found it open yesterday and this morning the second bloom opened…

sure does brighten up the living room;-)…

a touch of red for the season…

been doing a bit of reading on taking better photos with my iPhone…

today I spent some time working on a reflection picture… here’s one of the pictures that came out fairly well… maybe not as dark as it should have been…

then it was out and about for lunch and our play at PTE…

lunch was a lovely treat…salad rolls and a noodle bowl at Nhu Quynh on Ellice… delicious, and I even managed to bring some home for tomorrow…

the Christmas decorations at Portage Place were pretty, so I took a few pictures… then on to the play… the set was made up of suitcases… very cool…

had some of a dark chocolate Callebaut bar... delicious…

then home for a nap… was up very early this morning…
