had a good sleep in my own bed and spent a restful day recovering from my camping trip;-)…

back to usual patterns and started my day with a fruit smoothie, thanks to the frozen fruit my grandson had picked up while he was house sitting…

lots of tv, reading and napping…

walked over and got my hair cut…

tiniest bit of purple left in it, lol…

it was a beautiful day and I enjoyed the walk… even got a few flower photos in the process… the St. James Biz have done a great job with the planters…

back home I had lunch and did more resting;-)… enjoyed time in the garden, listening to the waterfall…

cooked some pickerel for dinner…

it is always nice to come home…

today I finished wrapping the presents and put them under the tree…

also received a parcel from Ottawa with a few pieces to add to the pile:-)…

it came with a lovely card… it has a heron on it… I love herons…

was going to walk to get my hair cut but after taking out the recycling and garbage decided that it was way too slippery…

enjoying these restful days before the busyness of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day…

started my day with this lovely shot in the living room… these flowers have been blooming since February 5th when I picked them up…

trimmed them down and tossed a few out but they still look fabulous…

then it was off to La Belle Baguette where I collected two types of bread for today’s Souper Thursday… chose a loaf of French and a Rye Sourdough… and finally three different tarts to share… yum…

this bakery is way too close to home, lol… in the summer I would walk over on Saturday or Sunday to pick up a treat…

on my way home I stopped in and got a hair cut… great to have it trimmed up… still has lots of purple in it…

flowers, tasty treats and fresh hair… pretty good day…

looking forward to having the next four days off;-)…

it was beautiful out and the first time this spring I’ve driven with the moonroof open…

ended my week with a trip to have my hair purpled… the process takes a bit of time but I had brought my book… it was nice to have a quiet time with nothing to do except read…

when I was leaving a deer walked right through their yard… how cool… what a treat…

on my way home stopped in at Safeway and got all the fixings for Easter dinner… tomorrow will be a rest and read day…

here’s the result of the evening…

the mornings continue to get lighter, which makes my heart sing…

heading out to the car I took a few moments to take some pictures of the hoarfrost designs on the garage windows… so pretty…

  
the sun was shining brightly as I drove downtown…the blues in the sky were amazing…

throughout the day the sun cast beautiful designs on the floors and ceiling… makes a person feel warm and cozy… 

on my drive home had to use the visor because the sun was still shining so brightly…

  
stopped in and got a haircut and when I arrived home it was still bright outside…   

 
sunlight makes me happy…

before leaving this morning I took a few pictures of flowers in the garden…

the mandevilla is filled with blossoms and flowers…

  
it is just loving its spot in the garden and the weather…

  
looking toward the pond from the deck, got a nice pic of the canna with the waterfall in the background… happy that it is going through another set of blooms…

stopped on my way home to get my hair cut… bit short, but it will grow…

  
I always go on Wednesday because that is seniors’ day… today I mentioned that Wednesday is my day because of the savings and the woman gave me back a toonie and said I needed to tell them because she would never have thought I was a senior… should have given her a bigger tip… it did make me feel good, lol…

been talking with different people about reaching senior status… depending where you are, the number can be anywhere from 55 to 65… I have been quick to access the discounts because I am happy to have reached whatever the age is… at Perkins they have a 55 plus menu which has smaller size portions… perfect for me… at a number of attractions when I was in Ottawa, there were discounts for ages 64 and over…

looking forward to collecting Old Age Security when I turn 65… friends have had different reactions when they started collecting it… some were thrilled to be getting some additional funds and others were shocked that their lives were coming to a close, and they wondered what they had done with it…

interesting how we all see things differently… guess that’s what makes us us, lol…

didn’t start work until two today as I was working a trade show into the evening, so I had a lovely morning…

started with a hot tub, listening to the birds and enjoying the beauty in the back yard… there is NO snow left…

rushed home from work, opened the garage to take the car out to go for an eye appointment…

and found the car was covered in snow from the storm on Sunday, when we had it out to barbecue in the garage…

quickly cleaned it off and headed to the appointment… they had booked it a year ago when I was there, but I was not on their schedule today… very kindly they said they would fit me in, but it did mean that I had to wait… probably for about 45 minutes…

left there about 6:30 and went to get a haircut… when I got there was told there were three people ahead of me… decided to wait, thinking maybe 40 minutes or so…

left there at 8:30…

still hadn’t had dinner…

drove down my street to discover that the plows had been down on their first run, but had not cleared out the driveway and there is a hill about a foot high and a couple of feet deep…

parked on the street and then spent half an hour shovelling an area that I guessed the car would fit through…

didn’t want to leave the car on the street in case they hit it as they were working at cleaning the driveways…

happily I got it into the driveway and parked in the garage without a problem…

finally got some supper and while I was eating I heard the plows coming down the street to clean out the driveways, lol…

happy I had these beautiful daffodils at my desk today… they were a fundraiser for the Cancer Society…

just this minute realized that I hadn’t closed the garage door… yikes…

had a lovely day off…

laid abed and watched a bit of tv, did some computer work and headed out for a pedicure – purple – then got my hair done to match…

water running in the pond...

waterfall running in the pond…

came home, had a short nap and then was surprised by the pond guys turning up…  they worked away, laying edging, stones and sod, and eventually they got the waterfall running… yay… it looks great… still a fair bit to do but they will be back on Monday…

tonight I walked part way home after getting a much needed haircut…as I walked along the sidewalks in the warm sunshine, I could hear birds chirping and tweeting to one another…  it was lovely to realize how close spring is…

as I was sitting in the hot tub a few minutes ago I was looking at the bird feeder… there were no birds as it was already dark, but there is lots of proof that they have been here… the ground is covered with shells from sunflower seeds…

it reminded me of the amazing sight this summer of the five goldfinch males at the feeder at the same time…

the fifth one was around back...

and also of some of the cool birds we saw in Mexico…

beautiful black and blue Yucatan Jay...

I wonder what feathered friends I will spot at the feeders in the coming weeks…
