I have always dressed for special days, such as red on Valentine’s Day, green on St. Patrick’s Day, etc…

today, I spent a number of minutes looking through the closet in search of something green… this is rather funny considering I am home alone all day, lol…

what I found was the blue and green rash guard shirt that I got in Hawaii… so that’s what I put on… this shirt doesn’t get much wear…

certainly not a bright green, but still green… and I’m sure the fish are pleased with my choice;-)…

walked to and from the “A” on Sunday morning…

it took a bit longer than usual as it was icy so the walking was a bit treacherous…

but it gave me the opportunity to get a few photos of the beautiful trees…

happy to get outside and enjoy the fresh air…

this anniversary of my beloved’s death has been harder than usual…

not sure if it is having someone else in the house, going through so many boxes and letting go of things… maybe it’s been seeing his writing on papers as I’ve sorted through files… maybe it is realizing I’ve been without him for a quarter of the time we were together…

you’d think after eleven years it would be less difficult…

whatever the reason, I’ve been struggling…

got a call from the florist Friday, advising they had a delivery for me…

not long after, the doorbell rang and a parcel was handed to me…

when I removed the packaging, I found a beautiful purple vase filled with flowers… what a treat…

they were from the kids in Ottawa… to celebrate my beloved… today will mark eleven years since he left us…

time has flown by and barely moved…

I am going to enjoy these beautiful flowers and take many, many, photos of them as I remember all the wonderful times we had together…

I have been, and continue to be, blessed…

so happy that my friend, Hilda the gardener, came by last Friday for a drink, visit, and a haircut…

we spent a lovely hour chatting and laughing about life in general and gardens in particular…

then she dealt with the overgrown mess that was my hair, lol…

looks and feels so much better now;-)…

on some of the colder days, I’ve been wrapping up in a blanket when I sit and read in the living room…

Ive been using the crocheted one that I made a few years ago and just recently found a post telling me that I finished it two years ago on February 7, 2021…

it is very cozy and I enjoy using it…

been doing a little decorating for February…

it is Heart month and I dug out the hearts from various spots around the house and put them out…

the stairway came out quite nicely;-)…

every time I go up or down the stairs, I am reminded of my beloved…he dealt with a number of heart issues over his last few years…

he had been in good health, until a virus caused serious cardiomyopathy and later he had a quadruple bypass… all of that before he was finally taken with a heart attack… his father also died from a heart attack…

this month I will be making a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation in celebration of our wonderful life together…
