had fun making my supper tonight… another ChefsPlate meal which went into the new bowl I picked up at the Chinese market last week…

Mediterranean Salmon with sun tomatoes and pearl couscous pilaf… also learned that Harissa is a hot sauce… not so wise to dip a finger in it to taste, lol… I like pearl couscous…

enjoying my flowers at home, as well as the ones at the office…

did giggle when I saw how the water in the vase had turned purple…

tonight’s final treat was a bowl of popcorn…

always have popcorn in my fish bowl…

funny how we like certain things in certain containers…

beautiful, big girl pants, car, flowers, purple, strap, travel, widow

last night on my way home I stopped and picked up some beautiful flowers…

divided them up and took half to the office this morning…

have a new technique when I take flowers in the car… put them in one of the cloth/fabric grocery bags and then strap them into the car seat…

works great to keep them from getting crushed and they stay upright on the trip…

enjoyed them all day;-)…

the others are in the bedroom where I can enjoy them all evening…

today I went to the Formal Gardens at the Park to walk the circle… haven’t been moving much for the last few days and really needed to get some exercise…

the shapes of the trees stand out now as there are no longer leaves on them…

this beauty was covered in red berries…

the sunlight and shadows were quite stunning…

circle of tall grass…

stunning with light shining through…

wonderful to be walking in the sunshine although only managed two laps, not my usual three…

had to slow down now and again but on the whole my back was behaving…

picked up some groceries on my way home and stopped by the floral department to take a few pictures…

back, big girl pants, flowers, pictures, Remembrance Day, stomach, widow

watched the Remembrance Day service from Ottawa this morning and spent some time thinking of my parents and my beloved’s father who were all in the services, and my son-in-law who is currently in the Air Force…

brought home my flowers from the office yesterday and have been enjoying them all day…

had some fun taking pictures this afternoon…

as the day has progressed my stomach has become more and more unhappy…

really, back and stomach… enough…

hoping for a better day tomorrow…

got a beautiful bouquet today…

flowers make me happy;-)… a lovely treat and I spent some time admiring them…

they kind of matched the sunrise today…

been lots of pinks and reds in the sky over the last while…

the weather was amazing and we ate our lunch in the Millennium Library Park… lots of folks walking through, but we were the only ones having lunch… the sun was warm on our backs, but when the wind blew it was a bit cool, lol…

quite remarkable to be outside eating lunch on November 9…

what a glorious day… watched tv and tidied the house during the morning…

enjoyed some excellent meals…

had a lovely wander around the garden and got some great shots of the flowers in the sunshine… it got up to 17 this afternoon… amazing…

the alyssum are still blooming like crazy and so happy… I cannot pull them…

the lobelia, creeping bellflower and jolly jump-ups were all showing off their purpleness…

then I read and listened to music all afternoon…

just what I needed after my busy week…

big girl pants, colleagues, construction, flowers, healing, moon, walk, widow, work, yellow

as I headed out this morning I took this picture of the moon… looked much better in real life…

had to run to the grocery store before work because there was no tea at the office, lol…

but I spent a few minutes in the floral department… always fun… picked up some lovely yellow flowers for someone who is struggling with the flu… the florist mentioned that yellow is the colour of healing…

went for a walk with a couple of colleagues at lunchtime… sunny and warm… nice to get out and enjoy some fresh air…

at the end of the day as I was heading home I noticed these construction people way up high working away… it was chilly and a little windy…

I could not imagine doing that… ever…

reminds me of how lucky I am with my own job, lol…

big girl pants, bulbs, burnt out, flowers, light, mandevilla, orchid, shining, timers, widow

had a lovely few minutes when I got home… walked into the living room to put away my purse…

the light was shining into the room and I went and got my phone so that I could take some pictures…

spent a wonderful few minutes taking shots of the various flowers in the light…

the sunlight was gorgeous as it streamed into the space…

the mandevilla is struggling with being in the house and the buds are opening in a very strange fashion…

love this picture of the new orchid with some of the blossoms in the light and some in shadow…

on Sunday my son-in-law adjusted my timers so they would come on a bit earlier… it has been great to come downstairs in the morning and have it light… but tonight it was dark…

apparently one of the bulbs is burnt out… not sure I have a replacement… guess I’ll be sorting that out, lol…

thankful…

more lovely blossoms in the living room this morning…

headed out, met my daughter at Starbucks and then we went and found fresh turkeys for our dinners… they are coming here on Sunday and they are having a dinner for my son-in-law’s family on Monday at their house…
