Baked Expectations, big girl pants, cake, holy days, hot tub, hydrangea, pictures, Tony Roma's

my girl is home for a few days… yay…

we’ve been taking pictures since she arrived…

first ones were of the Deadly Chocolate Mousse cake from Baked Expectations… her favourite… my other daughter had picked it up and delivered it to my office for me… she wiped out but thankfully both she and the cake were fine…

she took quite a few of the Christmas trees and I took a few of her taking pictures, lol…

I also got a few of the beautiful hydrangea arrangement that a dear friend had delivered to the office this morning…

pretty wonderful day for me…

to top off the day we had beef bones from Tony Roma’s, another of her favourites… not exactly the best thing for me, but a treat now and again is fair…

lots of visiting and catching up and now we are heading out for a hot tub… it is wonderful to have the company out there and she loves it as much as I do…

holy days…

special…

big girl pants, canna, hydrangea, jolly jump ups, morning glory, rice, special

here are a few flower pictures I’ve taken over the last while…

this shot of hydrangea was special to me because of the light…

this was in the Leo Mol Sculpture Garden and there were dozens of bushes filled with blossoms… quite beautiful…
yesterday morning I took this shot of wild jolly jump-ups… they are so tiny and cute… could easily have been missed…

there are now three little patches of them in the grass in the garden… luckily they are right along edges so should survive mowing…

here is a shot of one of the morning glory buds preparing to open…

thought they looked like this the day before they open, but it seems they can stay like this for a few days… will be interesting to see if it opens tomorrow while I am home, lol…

this is a stalk from the calla which I cut off the other day because I thought it was done…

it is just stuck into a pot to dry the seeds out, and now it is blooming… pretty special…

this final photo is of one of the phone handsets in a bag of rice…

managed to drop it into the toilet yesterday… hopefully the rice will do its magic and dry it out…

home…

big girl pants, hibiscus, home, hot tub, hydrangea

this morning I woke in my own bed… it was lovely… the bed I was in over the last week was fine, but there is something about being in your own…

last night I thought about having a hot tub but could hear the police helicopter flying over in circles… usually that means they are searching for someone so I don’t like to sit out there, lol… and I was rather tired…

this morning I went out for one… sigh… I do love my hot tub and miss it when I am away from home…

relaxed for the remainder of the day although I did wander through the garden a few times…

brought in two hydrangea flowers and put them in a vase…

also got a nice pic of a hibiscus flower…

tomorrow I will have to unpack my suitcase, lol…

house, hydrangea, Mosaica, Ottawa Day 3, Parliament, poutine, walk

more relaxing day… before we got up we got a picture of our sleeping arrangements which are working very well…

the boys went off to get fixins for ice cream and came back with a lot of candy…

Ron ran a few errands with a friend while we watched a bit of tv, worked on a Lego piece and took a walk along the river…

then we headed out to see the new house… it has some lovely hydrangeas in front…

it is going to be perfect and I got a pic of the kids taking a photo in front of the house…

we went out for poutine and while we were waiting a few people had a rest…

and really I don’t care for poutine, which I must remember, lol…

we jumped on a bus and headed to the Parliament building where we watched a fascinating light show… the weather was gorgeous…

my favourite part was the poppies filling up the space…

after the show we followed many people to the bus stop and headed home…

everyone else is in their bed as I write this, as the kids both have work tomorrow, and me and the little guy are on our own… we have some plans:-)…

beauty…

beauty, garden, hyacinth, hydrangea, purple

enjoyed a wander around the garden today…

a pink hibiscus was in full bloom…

last night I enjoyed two of the ripe tomatoes, which were delicious… this one is just about ready…

one of the hydrangea blooms is so heavy it has fallen over… might look for something to stake it up…

watered the hanging baskets and they are looking pretty good considering how hot it has been…

last night my daughter stopped by with this beautiful purple crockpot… I already have a nice silver and black one which she is going to take for her new kitchen…

perfect trade as far as I’m concerned, lol…
