went just a few streets further on my walk this morning…

it was overcast and a bit cool, which made it perfect for walking;-)…

today, orange and yellow seemed to be the colours that drew me…

it is fun to look at houses and how front yards are designed… even came across an Inukshuk…

caught some geese that were flying right above me…

and had a different view of the Park bridge, ice sculpture and pavilion…

glad I went early, as not too long after I got home it rained for ages…

this morning I discovered a number of poppies and bachelor buttons were blooming in the wildflower pot;-)…

apparently, a couple of the poppies had slipped under the fence and grown up between the bricks in the neighbouring yard, lol…

it was fun to get a photo of all of them beside the Inukshuk;-)…

the pot is overcrowded so I hope that more will bloom before a space problem arises…

last year my daughter sent me wildflower eggs…

this spring I planted one of them into this fairly large pot and have been amazed at all the flowers…

the pot is right next to my Inukshuk…

everyday there are new flowers springing up…

what a treat…

on a recent morning walk I spotted this Inukshuk…

it reminded me of the one in the garden… over the winter it had ended up a pile of stones…

in May my grandson and I put it back together, although it wasn’t quite right…

when Hilda the Gardener was here recently, she took it apart and didn’t rebuild it…

the kids were here for dinner a few weeks ago and they got it back together…

and it looks great;-)…

I spent the day in the garden… I stayed in the shade but eventually put on my sun shirt and a pair of long pants to be sure I didn’t get too much sun, as I was feeling it, even in the shade…

I’d sent my grandson a list of things I needed from various stores… currently our deal is that he has the use of my car and acts as my personal shopper;-)… he spent a good portion of the morning gathering things I haven’t been able to order online and then brought them to me in the afternoon…

we put away all of the goodies, made some adjustments to the bird feeders – excited to see if the slinky keeps away the squirrels – and had a wonderful visit… nice to have someone to talk with in person (at a safe distance)…

I was very clever and made an oriole feeder;-)… apparently they like oranges…

after supper he put the Inukshuk back together for me, as it had been in pieces, lol… too heavy for me to lift…

am blessed to have such a great kid in my life;-)…

two lovely things to start my day…

first was to turn the page on my Chihuly calendar…

April is a stunning installation which is located at Union Station in Tacoma, Washington… will be nice to look at for the month…

and, when I got to the office I discovered my little inukshuk (or inuksuk) keychain sitting on my desk… it broke quite a while ago and a sweet colleague took it home for repair… there it sat, just waiting to get back together with my work keys, which happened immediately… she did a beautiful repair job…

I love inuksuit… there is one in the side garden built out of Tyndall stone… well, it needs a little work, but that will happen as the weather improves, lol…

excellent start to the day…

wonderful day… up early and walked to the Park Cafe where I met all the kids…

after breakfast we went to visit the polar bears… saw five of them today… although maybe it was all six, because it is difficult to tell them apart…

I am sure that these three were playing ring-around-the-rosy in the pool…

got a good shot of all of the boys with a friend in an inukshuk…

and I was very happy to pick up a new keychain, this one made with wood… my last one lost a leg recently… I bought it with George when we were visiting Vancouver Island…

after a great time I walked home and soaked in the hot tub before having a nap…

got a shot of the special tree by the Park bridge… looked a bit cold, lol…

also got some shots of the snow which looked full of diamonds today…

last night I spent a few glorious moments watching the Northern Lights dance across the sky… I was just getting out of the hot tub and could have missed the whole thing but was so lucky to catch it…

tonight I got a picture of the moon and clouds… sadly, not a good one, but it was a beautiful view…


and topped off the day with eleven thousand steps:-)…
