clean, closet, Japanese Maple, Spring, sunshine, tacos, walk

had brunch out with friends and then walked home in the sunshine…

wore a light jacket and took a few pictures along the way…

this was the pool that was at the end of the street…

20140406-205125.jpg had to do a bit of fancy footwork to make my way around it, lol…

spent some some cleaning out the last bit of a closet upstairs and I was able to divest myself of a box full of books and other bits and pieces… also cleaned up a corner of the computer room and put my collection of gift bags and tissue paper into the closet… more space in the room, yay…

later in the day the sun was shining into the living room and I got this shot of the couch and cushion glittering…

20140406-205655.jpgmy daughter and her boys came for dinner and we had tacos… the most exciting thing was that the littlest guy had meat on all of his tacos… maybe we are moving out of the no meat phase…

finally, I took this shot of the Japanese Maple, which at Christmas time, didn’t have a single leaf on it…

another sign that Spring might really be coming…

Cathedral Grove, Coombs, Free Spirit Spheres, goats, Japanese Maple, Melody, pond

had a much better sleep and got up just after 7… we packed our bags, tidied the house and headed off…

arrived in Coombs and saw some goats on the roof… had a lovely lunch of crab linguini and Cyndi had salmon 5 or 6 ways… bought a few provisions for our night in Melody, one of the Free Spirit Spheres… and I bought a small Japanese Maple for the garden… my wonderful children will drive it across the country when they travel east later in the summer… I am sooo happy… it’s name is cascading waterfall and I will put it in the back corner by the pond and bring it into the house for the winter…

we drove on to Cathedral Grove to soak up the beauty… this is such an amazing sanctuary and I will miss coming here…

fries and tea in Qualicum Beach and stopped to pick up a bottle of wine…

found our way to the Spheres… they are quite lovely… birds are singing and I can hear Cyndi chatting with the person in the next sphere, but can’t see them or the sphere… there was a lovely basket of treats waiting for us and kind hosts… took some pictures and am sitting looking across the pond… how could I not love such a place:-)…
