broken, Emergency, garden, hot tub, party, Technology, unexpected, weeding

had a very poor sleep last night… when I got up I started the day with a hot tub…

after a shower I sat out in the garden and read and thought about doing a bit of weeding…

designed and printed a birthday card for my grandson, which I was able to do from my chair in the garden, thanks to some of the work of my son-in-law when they were here last weekend…

was just thinking about making something to eat when my daughter texted to let me know she was at the hospital with a possible broken foot…

spent the next three hours with her in Emergency…

she was right, it was broken and they put a splint on it… we made it to their house for the birthday party with an hour to spare…

helped with the party and got a ride home and am now heading for bed… the day didn’t turn out quite as planned or expected…

ahhhhh…

ahhhh, clouds, garden, giod day, hot tub, potato salad, rest

was supposed to rain, so I got up early and had a peaceful hot tub to start the day…

then into the garden to read and enjoy a cup of tea…

lately I’ve been using a travel mug so that my tea doesn’t get filled with elm seeds, lol, although I think they are just about finished raining down from the trees…

some areas of the garden are stunning, while others need work…

spent a bit of time preparing five pounds of potato salad for the nine year old’s birthday party tomorrow…

never did rain but a few times there was thunder and spectacular clouds…

a good day…

big girl pants, hand-blown float, hot tub, leaky, nap, pond

sadly, the water level in the pond is falling…

since the uv filter was installed the water flow has been slower and there has been a bit of leaking…

my pond guy came by and fixed the flow but now it is seriously leaking…

you can see where the water is going…

my hand-blown purple float does look good in the garden…

been getting jobs done at a rapid rate today… picked up wine, bug spray and groceries… had hot tub water tested and picked up a couple of other things…

going to have a short nap and then pick up the kids just before midnight…

preparing…

beautiful morning and the birds were singing… thankfully I got it all done in time…

been a year since I got home from my Alaskan cruise… wow, time sure flies… and now I am preparing for Cyndi and Ron’s arrival…

and getting ready to scatter George’s ashes, which is why they are coming…

big girl pants, company, goldfinch, hot tub

after a short nap tonight, while I was making dinner, a lovely guest arrived for their dinner…

had a few minutes to take some shots and am looking forward to checking out the camera photos…

had a visit with a friend and then went out and started emptying the hot tub…

the last few weeks there has been lots of foam so I think it is a good plan to put in fresh water… hope I have the time to start filling it tonight, but that might not happen until after work tomorrow…

some days those big girl pants seem to fit fairly well…

lazy…

big girl pants, flowers, hot tub, lazy, rain, walk

first thing I had a very peaceful hot tub in the rain…

then I spent a good portion of the day watching some PVRed shows once I talked to MTS because it hasn’t been working since Friday night when the tech person was here to work on the wifi…

did take a walk to the Park to check out the tulips in the English Garden… they were nearly done but I got a few pics, although they are on my camera, not my phone… this picture is of the pond in the Leo Mol Garden…

spent a few moments sitting on a bench and watching a red-winged blackbird… arrived home just as the rain started again…

napped, watched more tv, and got a few pictures of the planters on the front step…the plants have obviously enjoyed the gentle rains over the last few days… good timing to get them all into the ground or pot, lol…

quite a lazy day…

meteors…

Camelopardalid, hot tub, meteors, shower, sleep

Friday night was supposed to be a great night for the Camelopardalid meteor shower…

it was clear, so I set my alarm to get up at 1:30 am… best time here was supposed to be from 1 to 3…

took a blanket and pillow out and saw one shooting star as I was setting up my spot…

stayed out there for an hour or so without seeing anything… the weather was beautiful and warm so it was cozy…

eventually I decided to have a hot tub, which was lovely, and then went back to bed…

tonight as I was working on this post I found this from the torontosun.com – Not many people got to see the Camelopardalid meteor shower. It was that estimated more than 200 meteors per hour were expected to drop. Unfortunately, only a few meteors spotted during that two-hour time period of the storm.
