this morning I had a happy surprise when I went by the window in the hallway…

it was around six am and the light was still glowing in the garden… the solar light had stayed on all night… surely a sign of warmer days and stronger sunlight…

had to go back to the bedroom to get my phone so I could get a photo of it…

as I drank my smoothie I also noticed the moon out the window…

every day is getting lighter… this makes me very happy…

yesterday was the official first day of Spring… this is what I saw out the windows and door this morning…

I did get to wear my lighter jacket as it is getting warmer, but unfortunately it was overcast all day, which is always a downer for me…

after a long day, partly due to the fact that I slept poorly last night, for supper I did get to have a few of my favourite rice rolls that a colleague surprised me with…

my son-in-law took this fabulous photo of the moon tonight in Ottawa at his Astronomy class where they got to spend time with a big telescope…

a bit jealous because my shots of the moon never look like this… obviously the sky wasn’t overcast there, lol…

there’s a beautiful full moon out there tonight…

didn’t even get my camera, just enjoyed a few wonderful moments of soaking it in…

my colleague is away but these tulips are patiently waiting her return… hope she gets back while they are still beautiful;-)…

yesterday I packed up a container of Easy Thai Shrimp Soup as it was my day to provide soup for Souper Thursday…

I had saved the recipe to my Pinterest page ages ago, but made it for the first time the night before… with a few changes as I went along…

as I left the house in the morning, I had to put down my bag and take a picture of the beautiful moon in the sky…

the soup was a hit… everyone loved it…

I brought home the last little bit and scoffed it down for my dinner as I watched the start of some of the Olympics, even before the opening ceremonies…

so excited for these next two weeks of sports…

got up at six am as I was heading into the office early with a colleague as we were carpooling…

hadn’t planned to get up early to watch the eclipse because it was supposed to be overcast…

when I looked out the window I was so excited to actually see the moon in the midst of the eclipse…

got out my camera and tripod and took a few pictures…

between taking photos and making my lunch I sat and watched the beautiful display out my front window…

what a glorious start to the day…

no spectacular shots but I did have lots of fun…

the sun shone all day even though it was fairly cold, which I discovered when I ran out to do an errand just after lunch…

the light really perks up my spirit…

this afternoon I got a few shots of a lovely bouquet in the office…

when I arrived home the moon was hanging right over the garage as I drove in…

tomorrow night into the early morning there is going to be a spectacular lunar display – a super moon, a blood moon and an eclipse… try to have a look when it is happening if you can… hoping for clear skies;-)…

just a few minutes later I caught this sky in the opposite direction…

lovely to have the moments to catch and enjoy the beauty around me…

of course, on a day off I woke up at 5:30, so I headed out for a hot tub…

the heavens were amazing and the moon was huge… the stars were very bright and I was able to get a picture of Orion’s Belt…

considering it was on my phone it came out pretty good, lol…

the streetlight shining on the lawn furniture was also lovely…

as I was driving toward my appointment this morning the moon looked like it was close enough to touch…

happy I stopped and took a few photos, because by the time I got out of the car, it was gone…

had a nap this afternoon;-)…

early morning in the garden…

saw lots of flowers…

dahlia, morning glories, moonflower (maybe), and one of the two sunflowers…

while I was waiting for my ride I got this shot of the pretty moon…

and some ladybugs…

on my way home tonight I took a shot of the dot on this elm tree which has been tagged for removal…

reminded me of the early morning ladybugs…

up a little early to be sure I made it to the dentist’s office on time for my cleaning and check-up… looked out the front window and spotted two bunnies across the street, so I had to run and get the camera to take a few photos…

great way to start a Friday;-)…


only waited a few minutes to get in to see the hygienist and everything went well… even the x-rays…

my daughter called me to see if I wanted to go with them to see a movie after work… she picked me up and off we went to their house for Chinese food before the show…

she showed me her new tattoo… George’s signature on her wrist… she’s been thinking about having it done since he died…

at the movie I ate a whole bag of popcorn and am feeling just a little sick now, lol…

they dropped me at my car at the office and on my way home I stopped and got gas for Shadow…

took a picture of the moon while I was waiting for the fill and then when I was home and looked out the window, I noticed the star/planet just below and to the left…

not a great shot of the moon but you can see the planet…

very full day…
