accomplished three things today…


changed the bed and put on the new comforter that I picked up a few weeks ago… a bit of a process as I had to turn the mattress around on my own…

also climbed under the bed hunting for a couple of the dragonflies which had flown off the Love sign over the bed, lol…  

looks pretty good… although I’ve already removed some of the pillows…

then I spent time putting out all the cushions in the garden… it was hot out…

finally I took pictures of the morning glories… this is the first time I’ve had them in so many places and it is fun to hunt throughout the garden to see which ones are blooming…


they continue to make me happy every time I look at them…

great way to start my vacation;-)…

started the day by seeing a cute bunny as I was backing out of the driveway…

stopped and spent a moment savouring the wonderfulness around us…

then, mid morning, a former colleague and her sweet baby stopped by for a visit… more cuteness…

she is a bit shy so was happiest in mommy’s arms, lol…

around noon another colleague came for a visit with her adorable cutie pie… thanks MikeF for the great photo…

when babies arrive in the office it is as though a silent alarm has gone off… before you know it most of the staff turn up, lol… today was no exception;-)… 

nothing like baby snuggles to brighten a person’s day… 

many things make me happy, but babies are pretty much at the top of the list…

and then, when I arrived home, this pansy smiled directly at me;-)…

cuteness overload…

light… it brightens my life…

this morning I spotted the sun shining into one of our rooms at the office…

busy throughout the day and then tonight I got this shot of the light in the Canadian Museum for Human Rights…

light in the early morning and light late in the day… 

all of that makes me so happy…

so happy… there are flowers everywhere…

yellow daffodils in the kitchen last night…

then they travelled in the car this morning on their way to the office…

found their final destination on the counter at the front of the office…

remind me of sunshine and smiley faces…

tulips…

first thing this morning I took a few pictures of my purple tulips…

really amazing how flowers make me happy…

also have tulips at my desk at the office… we always buy them in support of the Lung Association Breathe fundraiser… 

tonight I made this delicious ChefsPlate Thai Sweet Potato Curry with coconut milk, swiss chard and whole wheat naan bread… it was delicious and also made me happy…

I was so excited to start eating it that the bowl was half empty when I remembered to take a picture…

can hardly wait to eat the leftovers;-)…

got a beautiful bouquet today…

flowers make me happy;-)… a lovely treat and I spent some time admiring them…

they kind of matched the sunrise today…

been lots of pinks and reds in the sky over the last while…

the weather was amazing and we ate our lunch in the Millennium Library Park… lots of folks walking through, but we were the only ones having lunch… the sun was warm on our backs, but when the wind blew it was a bit cool, lol…

quite remarkable to be outside eating lunch on November 9…

visit…

the orchids are happy, and of course, that makes me happy…

had a great time with my grandson who came over to do some yard work for me… 

he mowed the grass, cleaned eavestroughs, put away outdoor furniture, treated weeds in the front flower bed, emptied and put away flower pots… such a relief to have his help…

while he was doing all that I got the potatoes, cauliflower, turnip and stuffing ready for tomorrow… we had lunch and a good visit…

after he left I worked on the Halloween goodies…

rocket lolly pops that look like ghosts;-)… have done about 120… haven’t quite decided whether to add black dots for eyes…

lately the ladybugs have been everywhere… the other day my youngest grandson counted 20 at the front door…

tonight one came to visit me… nice to have company throughout the day and evening, lol…

beauty…

I love flowers and during the winter months I try to keep some around me because they keep me happy…

been enjoying some lovely blooms on the plants that came in from the garden…

the hyacinth is still flowering although its leaves are falling off… this is often the pattern when they come in from outside…

the gardenias are starting to open and perfume the air… it might just be happier inside the house…

this morning as I was leaving the house I got this picture of the begonias in the planter…

cool to see how some plants just keep on blooming while leaves are falling off everything else around them…

last few bits of summer… such a treat…

happy…

took a few photos over the weekend that made me happy, so decided to share them with you…

Bob and Tom who took us on a wagon ride at the Zoo… they are so cute…

a beautiful butterfly posing in the Shirley Richardson Butterfly Garden…

a jet flying over the soccer fields on its way in to land…

sun and shadows on a wonderful walk through Bruce Park, while I was getting poke balls at PokeStops…

a pile of flower petals in the English Garden…

a stunning purple water lily in the lily pond at the Leo Mol Garden…

finally the view out the window this morning…

sunshine is one of the things that always makes me happy…

yesterday and today I was out for lunch with wonderful women…

we were at Mona Lisa yesterday and it was a beautiful and sunny day… there was a little breeze but that kept it from being too hot…

my friend stepped away for a while and I was content to sit and enjoy the time on my own…

today I arrived at elements before my friend and happily sat and enjoyed a cup of tea while waiting for her…

this might not seem like such a big deal, but just four and a half years ago I hadn’t ever been in a restaurant on my own…

yesterday I also went back to the dentist because I thought that a filling from a few months ago still wasn’t quite right… I’d been a couple of weeks ago and they had trimmed the filling down a bit… it took a bit of proding from other people for me to go then, but I went this time on my own… apparently I’d cracked the tooth right next to the one that was just filled, lol… was the most calm I’d ever been as they went ahead and filled that one…
I made trips to the pharmacy and the Apple Store with no stress or desire to call someone to go with me…

feels like I am experiencing some growth… finally, lol…

apparently those big girl pants are getting more comfortable… well, at least some days…
