big girl pants, breakfast, cake, Christmas, Facebook, family, grandsons, hot tub, lonely, memories, missing, snow, tasty, widow

I’ve been a bit lonely over the last week or so… most Christmases my older daughter and her husband have come home… it didn’t work out this year…

was out in the hot tub this morning, first time in ages… a bit later these two pictures came up in my Facebook memories…

the first is deadly chocolate mousse cake, her favourite… I always make sure to have it in the house when she comes… in fact whenever I go to visit her, I take some as well… we always have the cake for breakfast, which the grandsons think is amazing;-)…

the second is of our water boots from last Christmas… she loves the hot tub and our usual pattern is a late night dip before bed…

it was my other son-in-law who suggested water boots many years ago… they work perfectly so that my feet never get cold or snowy…

today I spent some time cooking… turkey and dumplings, and mashed potato and garlic soup…

they both came out pretty tasty, although I am not going to be able to have the potato soup for work lunches because it reeks of garlic, lol…

recuperate…

not sure why, but I’ve been missing my beloved a great deal…

having flashbacks to walking into the hospital room the night he died…

this photo of some of the mandevilla blooms reminded me of how close we were…

beloved, big girl pants, evaporation, fish, frog, lonely, outside, pond, tadpoles, widow

tonight I found some tadpoles in the pond after I finished filling it up…


very exciting because we were worried that they had just vanished… guess the fish will be staying in the condo a bit longer as we wait for frogs to be big enough not to be eaten by them, lol…

took nearly an hour to fill the pond up, which shows how low it was…


I’m starting to think that maybe it really is evaporation and the wide waterfall that is leading to the water loss…

tonight as I was working around the garden I was missing my beloved a great deal…


maybe it is Spring, not sure really… continue to feel lonely these days…

walked a few blocks on my way home and came across these lilacs which are just starting to open… brought back memories of our oldest daughter’s wedding… she loves lilacs…


looking forward to the delicious smell in the next week or so, as there are a number of lilac bushes close by…

a beautiful day with a few opportunities to spend time outside… hoping that the warmer weather stays around…

it has been so cold that I turned the heat back on in the bathroom floor…


not going to turn it off for a while…

lonely…

big girl pants, dahlia gazing ball, fish, garden, lonely, pond

was so happy to get the fish moved outside on Sunday…

 
partly because they are very happy when they are out there… and partly because the pond is much more alive when I am sitting by the edge of it… and I love watching them…

but in the morning I am a bit lonely because there are no friends swimming around and keeping me company… last thing in the evening I would feed them before heading to bed…

has been very quiet as the tank is empty and the rather noisy pump is turned off… 

  
made sure to water all the plants and flowers tonight as they wait their opportunity to move into the garden…

maybe tomorrow night I will plant the dahlia tubers in a couple of pots and get them started in the house… I love dahlias and am excited to see them blooming throughout the summer…

also picked up a new gazing ball, that glows in the dark, when we were at Shelmerdine on Sunday… need to get it outside soon…

big girl pants, fish, lonely, plants, pond, silly

this is too silly for words, but I am feeling lonely in the house now that the fish have moved out to the pond…

I’ve been feeding them first thing in the morning and last thing at night and usually talked to them at that time…

last night and this morning I headed to the tank before realizing they weren’t there…

I checked on them when I headed out to work… they were under the bridge and weren’t moving very much… it was obviously quite chilly in the pond… but the good news was that none of them were floating, lol…

on my way in from work I wandered by the pond and found them swimming around very happily…

maybe I’ll start chatting with the house plants…

big girl pants, couples, enjoy the moment, lonely, lovely sky, miss him, my beloved, sunrise

this morning I was stopped in my tracks when I saw a beautiful sky… had to run, get the camera and take some pictures, because it was just sooooo beautiful…

sunrise...

sunrise…

within five minutes the beauty was gone and as I drove to work it was just a dull overcast sky… amazing that I had that moment to enjoy…

tonight I went shopping with Crystal, who starts a new job on Tuesday and needs more business-office outfits.. we had success at three stores and stopped for a bite in the Food Court…

while I was sitting at a table waiting for her, I watched a couple, maybe ten years younger than me, finish up their supper together and then get up and move on with their evening…

reminded me of George and I having supper out and discussing whatever… then heading off to do the next thing on our list…

I miss him so much… it would have been nice to have him there to see that lovely sky…

 

 

quiet…

clean car, Gerber's, lonely, quiet, quiet weekend, tidy house, vacuum

well I was right… it is very quiet and maybe a bit lonely here…

got home, slept for a couple if hours… had some leftovers from last night and then slept for another couple of hours…

going to have a little snack and then go to bed, lol…

Cyndi and Ron have arrived at their next destination and Crystal and all the boys have set up their spot at the lake…

I have a beautifully clean car thanks to Cyndi and Ron, which is lovely… usually it is tidy but after I had that little plant purchase and filled it up completely it has really needed a good vacuum and I haven’t had the chance to get it done…

looking forward to a quiet weekend of putting the house back together so it will look great on Monday when a group of friends will be over for the evening… and enjoying the Gerbers that had been in Cyndi and Ron’s room…
