so happy when a tidying streak continues, lol…

spent some time in the front door area sorting through bins and baskets…

filled another box with pass-alongs without any difficulty… including purses and bags…

all of the gloves went into one of the Ikea bins which will make them much handier and easier to find…

one basket holds all the hats, a second one all of the bags (some of which had been hanging from the coatrack taking up space), the third one holds all of the bottles and sprayers for critters and fancy shoe cleaners, and the last one holds binoculars and extra tape measures…

much more organized and easier to see which one holds which items…

just noticed how many purple things there are, lol…

Monday I walked over to the Park Cafe wearing my new weighted gloves…

they are purple and kind of cute, lol…

I popped them into my vest while we were there and couldn’t believe how heavy it was when I lifted it to put it back on before heading out…

after a quick tour of the English and Leo Mol Gardens, which have a beautiful autumn vibe, with orange, yellow, purple, and brown colouring, I walked home with them on…

I am getting used to them…

last week, after aquasize, lunch, and a nap, I got to work in the garden…

first up, all the planter boxes under the deck came out and went into their spots around the deck… will need to add some compost and additional soil in them before too long so they will be ready for plants…

after a break to do some reading, lol, it was on to raking up some of the leaves… wore my new Christmas gardening gloves… not only are they made from recycled material, they are purple and fit nicely…

filled a yardwaste bag with the dead cedar and elm leaves… looks better but will still need a bit of work…

enjoyed the aquasize class although I lost a quarter when the key wouldn’t come out of the slot, lol…

the new gloves really do work well, although they caught on the rail as I was getting out of the pool…

next time I will take them off before I get to the stairs… but they sure look great with my water shoes;-)…

tonight I popped outside to fill the feeders on the deck… I didn’t think I needed my gloves, but didn’t take into account the outside door handle…

I did have on my toasty warm boots which I have now put under the fish tank to keep warm…

so much better than in the front landing…

shivers…

big girl pants, cold, gloves, May, sandals, shivers, snowflakes, Tea, walk, widow

this morning the sun was shining as I got dressed to go for my first Spring walk to the Park…

temperature was a bit cool, right around 1° Celsius, but it looked pretty nice out…

so, I wore short pants and sandals… by the time I was heading out the door the sky looked a bit dark (like snow) so I did add my hat…

a bit of wind as I was walking, but not too bad… I had on my Spring/Fall jacket and my little gloves were in my pocket…

before too long I had on the gloves and took most of my pictures wearing them… luckily the camera doesn’t insist on bare skin the way the iPhone does, lol…

snowflakes did fall every now and then… May 5th, sigh…

I was happy to get home but didn’t realize until I was laying under a blanket with a hot cup of tea in my hands how cold I had been… I did sit in the bathroom for a while to warm my toes on the floor;-)…

my entire body shivered for ages, lol…

hope my next walk is a bit warmer…

big girl pants, Canadian Museum for Human Rights, cold, fingers, friend, gloves, lunch, membership, purple, widow

a few days ago I walked over to TheForks to meet a dear friend for lunch…

on my way I got this shot of the CanadianMuseum for Human Rights… it is such a beautiful building… just yesterday I renewed my membership…

it was a lovely day but a bit cold… I was wearing these amazing purple leather gloves which a friend gave me a few years ago… they look great but are not tremendously warm… so eventually I pulled the sleeves down over my fingers to keep them toasty…

looked just like my eight year old grandson, lol…

basket, big girl pants, Fall, gloves, hibernate, ladybugs, snow, widow

couple of surprises this morning…

as I was searching for a pair of gloves I brought down a basket from the front entryway… was surprised to find a bunch of ladybugs behind it… not sure what I need to do about this…

of course I had to climb down off the chair, find my phone, and then climb back up to take pictures, lol… I don’t mind ladybugs, not like spiders… from a bit of research it appears that dark warm high places are just what they like to hibernate…

happily I did find the gloves which was great because when I looked outside the ground was covered with snow…

maybe Fall is over…

really happy to have Shadow back at home…

she did bring good luck to my grandson when he took his driving test and passed on the first try…

had to giggle yesterday when I backed out of the garage and the side mirrors weren’t set in their normal location… problem was that I couldn’t see enough to reset them…

when I got to the office I was able to see and set them back to what worked for me…

filled her up tonight on my way home…

even got her windows cleaned…

been searching for something to wear on my hands that would keep them warm when I’m driving… none of my gloves have kept my fingers warm… still haven’t found anything, but last night and tonight I drove with my bare hands because it is so warm…

zero… a few days ago in was minus 30… crazy weather, lol…
