big girl pants, buds, creek, moments, snow, walk

had another lovely walk home tonight… passed a number of bushes that have started to produce buds… tried to get a picture but it didn’t turn out…

but I did get a great shot of the creek which is filled with running water…



so wonderful to see the snow melting away more and more each day…

got a wonderful card a few days ago from a friend who knew what a hard time I have been going through…



it came at the perfect time and was a lovely gesture which warmed my heart…

life is so special and moments like a walk in the afternoon and enjoying a card make it even better…

survived…

big girl pants, moments, survived, ups and downs

recently someone was talking about how well they think I have survived these last three years… they felt that when I was with them I seemed to be managing very well, although they didn’t know how I was when I was alone…

some people put on different faces depending where they are and don’t share what is going on in their life…

for me, it really is what you see is what you get… I am the same wherever I am… if I am down I can’t cover it up… whether at work, with friends, or on my own, I can’t really hide what’s going on in my life…
some days I do great… other days are a bit difficult and some days are unbelievably painful… I think it works that way for most people…
we all have our ups and downs… on the whole, my life is full of special moments… I am so lucky to be able to spend the time to be in them…

birds, feeding, kids, moments, nuthatch, woodpecker

couldn’t get any pictures of the chickadees and nuthatch on Tuesday, but got a few good shots on Wednesday just after the kids arrived… apparently they brought some good luck…

nuthatch and a chickadee at the feeder...

nuthatch and a chickadee at the feeder…

not only did we get the nuthatch and chickadees, but we also caught a woodpecker at the feeder…

woodpecker...

woodpecker…

that was excellent… I’d seen the nuthatch, but the woodpecker was a great surprise…

today, I pulled a chair up to the window and sat there with my phone for quite a while as I had seen the birds flitting to and fro, but not a one would come by so I could get something on my phone, lol…

we’ve had a lazy, relaxing day… kids slept in and we walked over to The “A” for the breakfast special… walked from there to the grocery store, and home with the fixings for our dinner…

feeding has been an important part of the day, lol… finished making turkey soup, which we had for our lunch… sat and visited for the rest of the afternoon…

topped off the day with steak and lobster and macadamia clusters which I had picked up at least a couple of months ago, so that I would have then when the kids arrived…

none for me, but I did have one delicious little shortbread cookie…

enjoying the moments with my kids…

time…

family, Grandpa, moments, presents, time, tree

this morning we spent a couple of hours opening Christmas gifts, taking turns around the room… we’ve often followed this process which means that each person can see what everyone else received… also a great opportunity to say thanks for their gift…

/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/39f/43539991/files/2014/12/img_9949.jpg
the tree was gorgeous and the ground below and behind it was jam-packed with treasures…

presents were well thought out and just right for all… my favourites were a photo book of our balloon flight this summer and purple cooking pots…

after a great breakfast we headed home… got the turkey stuffed, had a snack and a lovely time in the hot tub… naps were had by all…

family arrived, dinner was eaten and Auntie read the story of the pink giraffe… Grandpa used to read this to the boys…

a wonderful time filled with special moments…

joy, little people, moments, peace, preparations, Santa, season, time, tree, waiting

everyone is tired and ready for bed…

now, if only the little people would go to sleep…

as we left the house to spend the night with the kids, I took a few shots of the spiral tree on the front step…

/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/39f/43539991/files/2014/12/img_9930.jpg
first time since we put it out that it has snow on it, lol… good view of the swag as well…

/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/39f/43539991/files/2014/12/img_9931.jpg
now we are waiting… for Santa…

earlier today I was thinking about how busy our Christmas eve’s used to be… running around picking up the last few bits and pieces for gifting, or doing set up so that everything would be ready in the morning…

today I waited for the Ottawa kids to arrive, and then spent time preparing food for tomorrow’s dinner…

in this season of peace, love and joy, I wish you and yours time with those you love and the opportunity to enjoy each of those moments…

savour…

big girl pants, Empty Full, goldfinch, moments, savour, shadows

today I found opportunities to savour the moments… spent a few minutes enjoying the gorgeous gladiolas and the light and shadow cast by the sun…

IMG_7197.JPGas I was backing out of the driveway I spotted one of the goldfinches at the front feeder… took a few moments to watch and get a few pictures… rarely do I get this close to them…

IMG_7205-0.JPGEmpty Full has just been worked on and the waterfall and mist were beautiful this morning…

IMG_7206.JPGtonight I spent time by the pond and watched a squirrel enjoying a snack at one of the feeders… must have spent half an hour watching it, lol…

bible study, bunny, holy, moments, waterfall, wise women

didn’t go into work until ten this morning, since we had a meeting until six…

as I was heading down the stairs I saw my bunny friend in the backyard, and took a few moments to just soak up the view…

20140324-224227.jpg see tracks all the time but not the bunny… seems to have grown quite a bit bigger… can’t tell if it is fluffed up fur or just a big bunny…

you can also see the waterfall rock in this picture as the sun melts the snow, even when the temperature is rather chilly…

tonight four of us met for our BS group… we even did some bible study, lol… can’t think of the last time we did that… focused on opening eyes and seeing… finding the holy in the world around us…

always great to spend time with these wise women…
