on Friday, woke up to geese honking as they headed out looking for something to eat… and spotted flickers in the field across from the house;-)…

opened the beautiful cards and gifts from friends and family I’d been saving over the last few days, and laughed at Google singing to whoever was having the birthday, lol…

received a gorgeous purple handmade book, filled with photos of the garden and a book about monarchs with things I didn’t previously know… going to have to read that more thoroughly…

tried to vote, but the lineup was long, so headed out for breakfast at The Pancake House…

decided to vote Saturday when I would have more time…

friends arrived with cards and flowers and we had a lovely visit… the neighbour stopped by and gave an update on the house next door and collected Easter books for the littles…

received many texts and phone calls and had fun watching some F1 on tv…

cookies and hot cross buns arrived as I was reading in the living room, so I had to eat one of the hot cross buns, yum…

supper was steak and lobster, with fries and asparagus;-)… followed by a blizzard, yum…

what a delightful day it was…

flying…

the sky was beautiful this morning when I looked out the window first thing…

a few minutes later I got another view…

the clouds were very interesting…

a bit later I watched geese flying low overhead as they headed out for a meal;-)… they were moving quickly and my phone was in my pocket…

but it is also great to just watch them and not worry about capturing a photo;-)…

the sky is so wonderful…

ignored…

walked to and from the Park yesterday…

met up with a number of Canada geese, but happily they all ignored me and everyone else on the paths…

noticed that the Assiniboine was very low…

and the path was covered in leaves, pretty…

such a beautiful place;-)…

pavilion…

went just a few streets further on my walk this morning…

it was overcast and a bit cool, which made it perfect for walking;-)…

today, orange and yellow seemed to be the colours that drew me…

it is fun to look at houses and how front yards are designed… even came across an Inukshuk…

caught some geese that were flying right above me…

and had a different view of the Park bridge, ice sculpture and pavilion…

glad I went early, as not too long after I got home it rained for ages…

overhead…

as I’ve been sitting in the garden reading and enjoying the birds and bunnies around me, I’ve been hearing the Canada geese as they have begun to fly overhead…

I do love listening to their honking to one another as they head north or south, depending on the time of day…

of course, the sad part is that means fall is coming, sigh…

light…

two lovely things today…

we went to Canadian Tire for a few things and when we got back to the car, we spotted these two cuties;-)…

reminded me of the two deer that walked down the street on Monday afternoon;-)…

and this was the sky tonight at 9:00 pm…

so exciting to have the light at this time of night….

nice treats…

skeins…

what a delightful time I had yesterday…

spent an hour and a half on the deck, reading in the glorious sunshine…

started out with a blanket and my winter jacket, but eventually put away the blanket and changed to my spring jacket… woohoo…

while I was out there I heard at least two skeins of geese fly by, although I never did see any of them, lol…

spent a few hours with my Monday buddies, read in the living room, and napped;-)…

detours…

it didn’t rain, as the weather report had suggested for Thursday, so I went for a walk…

I went a block further than normal and walked in the opposite direction, lol…

once again I had to take a few detours to check out more Halloween installations…

even got to see a few geese this time…

later, I filled the bird feeders and was able to spend time on the deck reading and noticed many more leaves on the deck…

the temperature has been around 16 or 17 degrees Celsius and I’ve been taking the time to get outside and enjoy;-)…

beautiful fall day…

further…

met up with a friend and went for a walk at the Park… great to visit and catch-up;-)… and get some exercise at the same time…

need to get back to a regular routine of walking over and around the Gardens…

I may have gone just a bit further than I should have… one of my feet was just a touch irritated with me… but so wonderful to enjoy the Gardens…

self-talk…

I walked to the Park today… first time in I don’t know how long… at least a year, and maybe longer than that…

took a bit of self-talk to get out the door… I am certainly feeling braver on the whole with being around other people, but I haven’t walked any distance for a long time…

so happy that I did it… the streets were clear of water… thank goodness… and there were very few people on the sidewalks and paths…

walking through the forest in the Park always brings me joy… and they have new signs with wonderful quotes along the way…

the trail has been renamed Story Trail and is part of the Indigenous Youth Storytelling Program… what a great idea… the trail has obviously been cleaned up and there was even a hut made with fallen branches… I am hoping that it might be covered with leaves as the summer progresses…

going through the English and Leo Mol Gardens was a bit disappointing, although really, considering the weather, what was I expecting, lol… the gardeners were everywhere raking and cleaning up the spaces, but there were very few blooming things… I saw one tree, a few daffodils and maybe a berginia in a few different locations…

the great news was that it was basically empty so I had ample time to stop and look whenever I wanted…

there were many geese and I did spot a few goslings, which was delightful…

I was a bit tired by the time I made it back to the house, so I had a nap…
