had quite a bit of company today…

early morning meeting with my money guy…

then met my grandson for breakfast and we worked in the garden for a few hours…


he is getting to be a good gardener… finished putting the rocks around and in the pond so now none of the liner is visible…  we also lifted the deck to move the cords out of sight and he cleaned up the flower bed and put rocks down…

looks very nice… made red lentil curry and rice for our lunch which is one of his favourites…


the fushia was looking beautiful today…

after he left, spent some time reading in the garden and then had a nap…

the daddy dropped the little boys off after supper on his way to work…

we had a lovely time… they came with me to water a friend’s plants…


on our way home we stopped for Dairy Queen ice cream and once we arrived at the house, we walked over to the grocery store to pick up fixings for s’mores…

on our way back we stopped at the creek where we scattered grandpa’s ashes and then there was rolling down the hill activity…


got this great shot of the dahlias blooming in the front garden as we arrived home from the store… they look like a painting…


the boys played with balloons for at least an hour, on the deck and then in the hot tub…


everyone played on their electronics for a while and then we had a fire…


they were picked up by mom and I am now enjoying a few quiet minutes before heading to bed, lol…

we never did get to the s’mores but will do that on Sunday when they come for dinner…

it is such a treat to spend some one-on-one time with them…

travelling…

agreement, big girl pants, daisies, feeder, fushia, garden, mandevilla, squirrels, travelling, widow

had a great little wander around the garden this morning…

the mandevilla is getting ready to bloom… it hasn’t done that well so I am very happy that there are finally buds, at least 8 of them… mandevillas take a long time for the flowers to open and they are very architectural…

these fushia are a different colour than my usual red and purple ones… two of those have already died… too much rain I think… will see how these ones do…

these daisies are in the grass in the neighbour’s yard… I think they may have travelled over from my garden and they look very cute… glad I caught them before they are mowed down… the daisies in our garden have travelled across the yard at least three or four times over the years…

spent time reading and watching these two squirrels at the feeder… they’ve been spending lots of time eating and fighting over who gets to stay there… most of yesterday they were tossing one another off the feeder… couldn’t tell if they were taking turns or if the same one was always left on it… today they seem to have come to an agreement and have been sharing the space…
