not too long ago I saw a cool use of a shower caddy…

it had been tucked in a corner of a room and had puck lights under the shelves to provide light for each of the plants…

I’d been looking online but hadn’t yet ordered one… here’s the spot where it will go…

today I got a shelf from Home Depot and we made a few adjustments as we put it together;-)…

ended up leaving the top portion of the pipe off and using some cord holders and zip ties to attach the pipe to the wall…

I decided not to use any additional lights as the spot this is set in gets a lot of light…

I am pleased with how it came out… and may have to get a few more plants, lol…

at last the sun came out late yesterday afternoon…

instead of a nap, I decided to read in the beams of light… and when I went out for my hot tub, the full moon was visible, woohoo…

this morning the sun was out again and I was so excited that I took a few photos in the bedroom as I admired the sunshine on the bed…

that sunlight makes the flowers even more beautiful;-)…

I have spent as much time as possible in the light, even spent some time on the deck…

hyacinths…

it smells delightful right now in the living room as both of the hyacinths are blooming…

spent the majority of the day there so I could enjoy the scent;-)…

I am so happy to have flowers in these dark days of winter…

on Sunday we took a trip to Safeway to find some spring plants… this is the time of year that I need lots of things blooming around me…

we found individual pots of hyacinth and crocus… then a pot with tulips, daffodils, primrose, and hyacinth in it… I got them all, lol…

I am enjoying watching them as they open and anticipating the scent;-)…

Wednesday was my last visit to The Leaf for Voyage and after our visit we stopped at the gift shop and checked out the merchandise…

I found this Fleurs de Villes t-shirt…

the saying on it is “flowers make me happy”…

this has been one of my hashtags since I started on Instagram, so I had to get it…

what a wonderful surprise and whenever I wear it I will remember what a wonderful time I had at The Leaf;-)…

for years the catches on the cabinet under the fish tank have not worked…

last week we picked up some new fasteners that I wasn’t sure would fix the problem…

Monday morning I took out the magnetized pieces, added gorilla tape to each of them and fastened them to the door after removing one magnet and cleaning off the tape and glue with one of my Christmas presents, a scraping tool…

such a little thing, but fixing it and having it work properly makes me so happy;-)…

I love to read, so was very happy that one of my presents was a gift card to Chapters…

we went shopping and I found five books, and a series which will be a gift…

not exactly sure why we went on Tuesday (Boxing Day), but it was worthwhile… the books were all 30% off with another 10% because of my membership, and then the gift card…

was pleased with the great savings, and looking forward to some good reads…

on Wednesday I had a lovely lunch with my BS buddies… we went to the Olympia Diner and had delicious food, lots of laughs and shared great stories…

it was quite the process for us all to get there as car trouble caused a bit of excitement, but eventually we all made it…

the food is always tasty and the portions are large… I had spanakopita, with lemon potatoes and Caesar salad, and had leftovers for the next day…

parcels were exchanged (which will be opened on Christmas), and one gift was our lunch… a lovely treat…

we always try to get a holiday photo and our waitperson took a number of photos to be sure we had a good one…

these women are so important to me and such a gift;-)…

last winter I was having trouble zipping up my boots… they still fit fine, but it was getting more and more difficult to zip them up… I tried running a candle up and down them and then being sure to zip them closed as soon as I took them off, but it was still a worry when I went to put them on…

I purchased these boots Dec 2, 2015, so they didn’t owe me anything, but I didn’t want to replace them…

not long ago, when we were at Rona, we found a spray (similar to WD40), and used it on the zippers…

they work perfectly now and I am very happy about that;-)…
