my grandson came by today for lunch and to do some trimming of the Virginia creeper for me…

I had emptied the hot tub as we had planned to move it out of the way so that a ladder could go up next to the house…

unfortunately, it wasn’t being cooperative so he ended up climbing onto the tub and reaching as high as he could…

it was a stretch but he was able to remove most of the overgrowth… it already looks much better…

I think the plan is for he and Jeff to come by on Friday to move the tub, make a few repairs to the deck and finish the trimming…

the light is already much brighter in the main floor tv room…

one of the things they will do on Friday will be to put that piece of siding back where it belongs, lol…

guess I won’t be refilling the tub for a few days, lol…

recently I was checking out the rainbows on the kitchen floor… there has been lots of sun;-)…

thought they were coming through the patio door, but then I figured out they were coming from the back door window which has a number of bevels on it…

brought back memories of our time in Maui where there were rainbows all the time…

one day there were seven different rainbows within about an hour… it was amazing…

I do love rainbows…

today I had a lovely time sitting in the sunshine in the living room…

I started a new book by one of my favourite writers and soaked up the warmth… of course, it was -40 outside, lol… so it really was a treat…

have had numerous conversations recently about our lack of sun… cold weather is much easier to accept when the sky is blue and a big yellow ball is in it… we are not getting the amount of sunshine that we used to…

I spent time taking photos of the light and shadows around the house as the sun shone in various areas…

fun…

Monday I wandered around the living and dining rooms taking photos of the plants in the sunlight…

it was shining so beautifully on the jungle of plants that are filling the space… the furniture and even the purple snowflakes in the window were just beautiful;-)…

I’ve being paying close attention when it is shining to be sure to enjoy the light…

what a glorious time… sunshine is so energizing…

a few nights ago we took a drive to Taffy Lane in Ottawa…

my oh my… those people are serious about decorating for the holidays, lol… so many lights…

such fun… there were very few cars so we were able to take it slow and admire all the lovely scenes…

my daughter took this shot of one of my favourites, with a dinosaur and penguin in it;-)…

Monday I considered turning on the bedroom light when I first got up…

there is less light every day, sigh… this is always one of the sadder happenings mid August…

at night I am now turning on the lights that run along the bannister on the stairs… those lights haven’t been on for months…

time is flying by more and more quickly…

although later in the evening I did enjoy spending a few minutes at the window as I was going downstairs to watch the solar lights start twinkling on… arrived at just the right moment;-)…

have to celebrate the little things…

woke up early this morning and enjoyed some lovely sky-watching…

saw the most interesting light pillar… not long ago many photographers in the province had noted multiple columns in the sky, so I was excited to have spotted it…

the moon was visible out my bedroom window… and then there was a lovely sunrise…

spectacular way to start the day…

yesterday I spent some time playing with my camera and flowers in the house…

working a bit with the macro feature…

got some good shots of the orchid… if you look at them just the right way you can see a dove…

also got a few pictures of the flowers in one of the bouquets on the main floor…

as everyone knows, flowers really help me through the cold and dark season… just looking at them makes me happy…

the great news is that every day there is a tiny bit more light;-)…

a few days ago I turned on the radiant heater in the bathroom because the floor was chilly…

sun is going down earlier and coming up later every day… seems like it was just June and here it is September, sigh…

also I’ve been noticing that the trees and plants are changing colour… the cedars are filled with cones… have never seen so many before… seems too soon to be fall…
