we’ve had a turntable on the table on the deck for at least twenty years…

the rolling piece finally disintegrated over the winter… my grandson found a different replacement part for it and it looks and works perfectly…

I also had him pick up an old Bundt pan… with help from the neighbour we cut out a slightly bigger hole in the centre and a young friend painted it for me…

while Hilda the Gardener was here the other day, she planted it and then I put it on the table…

it looks great and I can’t wait to see it filled out…

this morning I was up and about fairly early so that I could get the garden ready for a visit with a friend…

I’ve been quite lazy lately and have only put out a few chair cushions rather than all of them, but today I brought all of them out, including a few decorative ones that have been living on the couch, lol…

the garden looked great, freshly mowed and whipper snipped…

the veronica is blooming and the bees are all over it… the daisies are mostly open and the dahlias have buds on them… the lobelia is thinking of trailing and alyssum is growing nicely and starting to scent the air…

baskets are doing well and both ponds are flowing beautifully…

on warm days, visits need to happen before noon as there is little shade for the remainder of the afternoon…

the weather was perfect and finches and squirrels dropped by… we had a great time and enjoyed ourselves immensely;-)…

so nice to spend time with friends… going to organize some more of that;-)…

goody…

had dinner out with a good friend tonight… nearly forgot because I don’t usually go out on a weeknight, lol…

it was wonderful to walk over to the restaurant as I’ve been rather lazy recently…

dinner was delicious and we both left with goody bags filled with leftovers…

woke up to the sound of thunder… and listened to it rain for a little while… 

had a wonderful lazy day… spent it in pyjamas watching tv and reading…

had a couple of great phone calls, catching up with folks… and made a few meals…

didn’t even realize how warm it was until a few minutes ago when I checked the temperature to find it was still 20 out, and nearly 8 pm…

guess I should have opened the door at some point… could have sat on the deck to read, lol… 

yesterday I caught my thumb in a door and broke my nail… my nails are very strong and it really pulled the nail from the bed… feels sore and I think it is rather bruised… such a little thing, but it is a reminder of how a little thing can change how you feel in a moment… also makes me remember the cold that is gone now, and the knee that is working perfectly again…

been talking with friends about just that… you can be healthy and well one moment and then something happens and you are not… needing to celebrate these days of good health… so easy to take things for granted…

been sending healing thoughts to so many who are dealing with health issues these days… hoping Spring will provide some respite for them…

the grass is greening, from just that little bit of rain…

I’ve been using Saturday as my lazy day… 

trying to make time on Fridays to have a meal or visit with friends and book any appointments I may need, so relaxing on Saturday makes sense… 

soccer is over so the kids will be coming again for dinner on Sundays… I try to do grocery shopping and a few chores around the house that day as well…

today I barely got off my butt… it was beautiful outside but couldn’t even get up the energy to go out to sit for a while…

eventually I went out and brought in the six plants that need to overwinter in the house… 

not sure how I feel about the ones I’ve put in front of the living room window… could be blocking the view too much…

think these might be okay, although I may move the one in the dining room…

will see how it goes…

did have some fun with my lunch… read that today was guacamole day so decided to have it as part of my meal…

used roast beef slices as the bread and made a sandwich with guacamole, lettuce and tomatoes… tasty, lol…

even managed to fit in some chips…

rather fun…

lazy day…

spent the day watching sports… some great figure skating and speed skating on… also watched a few cooking shows…

  
only actual chore I managed was to water my plants… noticed that my amazing orchid, which I bought mid-October, has finally started to drop some of its flowers…

  
it has bloomed for over four months…

decided to make the red lentil curry for supper… and to double the recipe as the can of tomatoes was twice what I needed… was putting everything together after I cooked all the lentils, only to discover that I had green curry paste not red… oops… so I made it with what I had…

  
not quite the same but still tasty… a bit more spicy than the red version, lol…

  
enjoyed it with brown basmati rice, cilantro and brussel sprouts on the side…

this morning I wandered around and took a few pictures of the snow…

  

through the living room window… sun was shining… nice…

  
and from the dining room window… trees are very pretty…

  
my amaryllis is growing nicely, although no buds have started…

had a lazy day in my jammies watching tv, sleeping and eating…

seemed to be just the right thing to do…

sunny…

just can’t get over the sunshine… blue sky when I woke and the sun rose above the trees a bit later… feel so much better when it is sunny outside…

had a lazy day with just a few chores and prepping for dinner with the kids…

took a few pictures of the sun shining into the living room… new shoots are coming up in the water plant barrel…

  
and the orchid looked great today…

  
went to Ikea for a short spell in the afternoon with my daughter…

yesterday I wore these jeggings which I just had hemmed this week… this is my first experience wearing this type of pant/leggings and I’m not sure how I feel about them…

  
will need to show them to the fashionistas in my life to see what they think, lol…

during supper I had to get up and step outside to get a picture of the sky with my iPhone… so great to have that quick access to a camera without having to run to find it…

  
it was exactly that shade of red… quite beautiful…

the sunsets have been awesome this fall… 

I’ve almost forgotten how dull it has been for the last few weeks…

wonderful how a bit of sunlight can perk me up…

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…

20140608-194917-71357335.jpgspent 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…
