excellent day…

this morning the service person arrived and fixed the hot tub… hurray…

not sure if it will be up to temp tonight or tomorrow so that I can get in it…

bit of time playing on the computer and then lunch out with my BS buddies to celebrate a birthday…

wonderful time at Cafe Ce Soir… I had asparagus and shrimp soup; chicken liver pate with peppercorn white wine aspic; and pecan pie… the birthday girl had fun…

it is a lovely spot… small with fresh flowers on every table, attentive staff and delicious food… can’t get much better than that…

we had a nice chat with the owner/chef… those are his birkenstocks in the picture, lol…

and then, home for a nap;-)…

had to stop at the store for a few groceries and found some flowers…

flowers really make me happy and putting them into the cart just seemed like the right thing to do…

I always giggle as I clip the bouquet into the seatbelt but it really is a great way to transport them…

going to take them to the office for my desk… will be a lovely treat to have them brighten my space…

been so tired lately…

not sure what the deal is, but I arrive home and have a nap before I make supper, and then sleep through the evening before going to bed…

had a conversation recently with someone who appears to be struggling with a similar lethargy…

not sure if it is the weather, time of year or what, but I sure hope it sorts itself out soon;-(…

everywhere…

Saturday was my work anniversary so over the weekend I prepared notes and organized roses for my colleagues…

here are the flowers as I brought them home from the florist and kept them standing up so they would be in good condition this morning when I set them out for everyone to choose which one they would like… using the seatbelt to keep them upright works perfectly…

the funniest thing was that when I took the picture in the kitchen I noticed the red on the side of the fridge… it was my lunch bag, which has been missing for about a week and was exactly where it should have been, but not one of the places throughout the house, car and office where I searched, lol…

I took a few pictures of the roses in different offices…

lovely to walk around and see flowers everywhere…

first thing this morning I got a few pictures of the flowers blooming in the garden… happy to see the dahlia amongst the other blooms even in the cooler weather…

and was so excited when I drove up to the house at the end of the day to spot half a dozen flickers searching the front yard for snacks…

pretty good sightings for September 26th…

mostly a quiet day, except when I went out to grocery shop and run a few errands…

it rained on and off the whole day…

was chilly too… the late blooming hibiscus doesn’t seem to be minding the colder weather…

had been planning to pick up some flowers but instead picked up this water bottle which jumped right off the shelf into my cart:-)… and it was on sale, so I really had no choice, lol…

my grandsons came for dinner and we had a good time… dad was working and mom was home sick… they helped get supper ready and with clean up…

a minute ago the oldest was being born… now the three of them come and visit on their own… time flies crazy fast;-)…

purple was top of mind all day yesterday…

spotted a number of purple things during my walk in the Gardens… as well as my little buddy, who had a lovely purple top and socks, lol…

after lunch with my friend and her sweetie I headed out to get my hair purpled… I noticed there is a lot of purple in my hairdresser’s studio as I took a last shot of the before, lol…

it hasn’t had any purple in it since before I went away, and a number of people have pointed it out, so I am very happy to have it done…

then it was off to watch some volleyball… apparently last year at the same time I was at the same tournament… the school has lots of purple in the halls, which is fun…

the boys played well and my grandson did a particularly great job with his serves… he is graduating this year, so likely we won’t be attending this tournament again… and I finally figured out how to get there, lol…

happy to be able to participate in special times, whether with friends or family…

had a spectacular Friday off…

woke up later than normal (which in itself, is a treat) to sunshine and warm temperatures…

and lots of blooming flowers… what a treat…

out for a walk around the English and Leo Mol Gardens…

must have spent ten minutes watching all the painted ladies flitting about in the sunlight…

then lunch at The Park Cafe with a special friend and her baby…

and that was just the morning;-)…

first thing this morning the sky was amazing…

then I went out and took a quick spin around the garden… got a few shots of flowers, although they are getting a bit irritated with the cold temperatures early in the morning…

and tonight, the same view out the back window…

pretty…

still thinking of my beloved…

took this shot of the fish in the pond this morning…

the pond looks different now, but he loved working in all of them… through winter he would make sure the fish were cozy in their condo in the house, and it was always exciting when it was time to move out to the pond… often he would have little helpers to assist with the transfer…

over the last while one of my colleagues has been sharing updates on her orchids… this morning she brought the small one to my desk to show me the newest blossom…

George often brought orchids into the office … one of his colleagues who worked in the seasonal area would let him know when a new batch of orchids had arrived and say you better get some for your wife…

and he would, and bring them to the office as well… this is one of those he brought in and my colleague has looked after it beautifully… think this is the third time since he died that it has bloomed… another larger one is nearly ready to bloom under her amazing orchid fingers…

usually I only use my own photos, but tonight another colleague sent me two of the above shots that show the bloom…

what wonderful memories… I have been truly blessed…
