what a wonderful day yesterday… slept in, and when I got out of bed, saw hoarfrost on the trees out the bedroom window…

as I passed the window on the staircase, I spotted a bunny having a snack… first one I’ve seen on the deck this winter…

and the views out the window were wonderful… I even went outside a couple of times to get a few photos… some when it was overcast…

and some in the sunlight…

so beautiful, and a reminder of a day with my beloved when we took a drive to photograph hoarfrost…

this morning I was reminded of how beautiful hoarfrost can be… the pictures I came across were from eight years ago and showed the elm tree that lived across the street…

it was cut down a few years ago…

I took a photo to compare and was surprised at how much the cedar in our front yard has grown… the photo also shows the huge hole where the tree used to be…

I sure do miss the trees that have gone…

tomorrow marks 7 years since my beloved left this earth…

Google tells me that it is 2,555 days since that day…

I’ve been remembering some of the fun things we did during those last weeks…

you would think after seven years it would get easier…

but it doesn’t …

this is the last picture I took with him… it was Sunday, March 4, 2012… we had taken a drive around the Park so I could get some photos of the beautiful hoarfrost… this tree is on the drive to the Park… he had to stop in the middle of the road so that I could get the shot I wanted;-)…

found this photo on Facebook… happy that I get these reminders of wonderful memories…

it is from ten years ago and is one of the few pictures that I have of my beloved and I holding hands… it is lovely to see him and such a great reminder of a fun day…

one of the things I miss is having his hand to hold when out and about…

the beautiful trees after the snow this morning were another reminder…

brought back memories of the day before he died when we drove all around the Park so that I could get pictures of the trees covered in hoarfrost…

I continue my focus on being in the moment…

this morning I stopped and turned on the garage light so I could get a few shots of the hoarfrost on the windows…

it was something like -41 at the time, lol…

throughout the day I enjoyed a few special moments as well… the sun was shining through some windows and I was able to spend a moment basking in the light… over lunch I sat in the sun and felt the warmth on my body…

every time I answered the phone I remembered a former colleague who said she always put a smile on her face before picking up the phone because it made her sound happy…

it was a good day…

lots of beauty last Friday…

caught the sunrise out the bedroom window… frigid out there but it looked beautiful…

took a nice shot of it out the patio door a bit later…

finally got a shot of a sun dog… which once again demonstrated how cold it was…

we were out and about and as we returned home got this lovely shot of a bit of hoarfrost on the Virginia creeper…

haven’t seen much hoarfrost this winter…

the kids have returned home now but this is a lovely memory of our time together…

been thinking of my beloved a lot over the last few weeks…

recently took a drive through the Park and was remembering all the drives we had taken through it… we often enjoyed going to the Park Cafe for breakfast on a weekend morning and then taking a drive around the Park so that I could get some photos…

we particularly liked it when there was hoarfrost covering the trees… haven’t seen any this year but as I drove through it was overcast and a bit dull, which was a reminder…

he would have been interested in the construction going on for the new project… he would have explaine all that was happening and whether he thought they were doing it correctly, lol… he always knew what every piece of equipment was used for…

took these shots as I circled around…

it really is a beautiful place for a walk or a drive…

we often spend our lunch hour discussing various topics…

recently we’ve been talking about the enneagram… 

wonderful to have a variety of opinions and points of view… 

we are diverse, with ones, twos, sixes and sevens in the group… a great opportunity to see how each personality works at their best, and sometimes, not so best, lol…

these amazing women are always learning… I am so proud to be able to spend time with them and learn from and with them…

this shot I took of some hoarfrost on the garage window reminded me of how unique we all are, even as we are similar… and what a beautiful pattern we make together…

yesterday I took a picture of a chubby squirrel sitting on the top of the neighbour’s garage…

chattering away up there as I was taking the picture… never noticed the amount of white on them before… although maybe this one is just old, lol…

and this morning, as I headed out to the garage, I thought I saw something, but it wasn’t until I started backing out of the driveway that I actually saw the bunny running toward the road… critters always bring a smile to my face… well, maybe not spiders…

when I closed the garage door on my arrival home I noticed the hoarfrost had created some patterns on the window…

reminded me of a visit to a friend’s house a few years ago where I got some stunning pictures in her garage…

looking forward to seeing her before too long as she has a new addition to her family who I am very excited to meet…
