aquasize, back, big girl pants, moon, sky, twist

started the day very early and the moon was bright…

IMG_8857-0.JPGtonight as I was heading to aquasize I took this shot of the sky… very nice…

IMG_8858.JPGwas very careful not to do any twisting there after last week… from Friday to Sunday my back was in bad shape… if I sat for any length of time I could barely walk… laying down helped a bit but then when I got up it would still bother me… luckily I was able to take it easy and by Sunday evening it was much better…

so I was extra careful tonight to not twist…

hope it works out okay… guess I will see tomorrow…

bright…

big girl pants, bright, frost, grandsons, hibiscus, moon

day started out with a bright spot…

IMG_8755.JPGthat sweet hibiscus with blooms… great way to start the day…

not such a bright spot when I headed outside and saw windows covered with frost…

IMG_8756.JPGbut when I got out of the car at the office and looked up, saw a lovely moon…

IMG_8757.JPGbright spot number three was getting to see my grandsons and have dinner with them and their parents… after dinner my son-in-law brought me home, on his way to work, and I had to take a picture of the beautiful sky…

IMG_8758.JPGgreat day…

. soup, big girl pants, crockpot, flower, hibiscus, moon, surprise

had a wonderful surprise this morning when I came downstairs…

IMG_8736.JPGthe hibiscus was blooming… often when you bring a plant indoors it will die back, so this was quite wonderful…

looked out the window and watched the moon… the eclipse had finished earlier and the moon was no longer red, but it sure was big… the picture doesn’t do it justice, lol…

IMG_8739.JPGonce I got home from work I jumped in the car and raced to the grocery store… I am on for soup tomorrow and am doing a recipe I haven’t tried before, and because I didn’t feel great last night I didn’t get the shopping done… once home I peeled carrots and yams and tossed everything into a soup pot and got cooking…

IMG_8737.JPGthe really funny part was that this was a crockpot recipe but I didn’t have time to use the crockpot to cook it…

surprisingly it isn’t as orange as expected because I got yams instead of sweet potatoes and they were white inside…

IMG_8738.JPGthink it tastes okay…

guess we will know for sure tomorrow…

changes…

big girl pants, changes, clouds, door, fridge, moon, stove

the sky was lovely this morning… I got a shot of the clouds…

IMG_8661.JPGdid a bit of tidying up while I was waiting for my new stove and fridge…

IMG_8662.JPGthey are not brand new, but new to me… my son-in-law, and his brother, brought them over and put the stove in easily… we weren’t able to replace the glass on top, but hope to do that in the next week or so…

IMG_8663.JPGthe fridge on the other hand was a different story… had to take off the back door to get it into the house… then they had to take off the door in the basement… then they had to take off the two fridge doors… then they had to take off two fasteners at the bottom of the fridge and that was when they ran out of time…

so there is a fridge with no doors in the middle of the basement, waiting to get into the back room and be put back together…

IMG_8664.JPGto finish off the day I watched the moon go by my window… it was beautiful…

lots of changes today…

full, Japanese Maple, moon, ornament

this morning I got a couple of shots of the moon… it was full last night but cloudy here, so I was happy to see it this morning…

IMG_8156.JPG

IMG_8155.JPGweather has been very cool and the plants in the garden are shivering…

brought in the Japanese Maple because I don’t want it to lose all its leaves again…

enjoyed the beauty of the clouds in the sky as I drove to the office, the sound of the geese flying over and also my lovely ornament hanging from the rear view mirror…

IMG_8162.JPGit is a sterling Christmas ornament that spells out JOY… it is hanging there to help me find my car, lol… but it also reminds me to see the joy in everything…

friends, hot tub, moon, space station, stars

just finished a great hot tub with a couple of my BS buddies…

the sky was clear and as we were chatting one of us spotted the space station crossing the sky…

I now get email notifications advising what time it will be passing overhead… this is helpful because I’ve seen it a few times but not been positive that’s what it was…

sometimes it is huge and bright and then it gets tiny and dull… I think it must be turning…

tonight, even though the moon is nearly full, the stars in the sky are amazing… often I can only see five or six… way more tonight… maybe on Friday or Saturday I will sleep on the deck…

the mosquitoes chased me in just as the moon rose over the trees…

last night I took a few shots of the moon through clouds on my phone… must have spent half an hour watching it out the bedroom window… picture doesn’t do it justice…

dragonfly, garden hose, moon, nature, watered

this morning I ran around the garden watering all the baskets and plants… I could not believe that they were thirsty, but they were…

I am loving the new hose… works beautifully, isn’t heavy and doesn’t kink…

sadly it won’t work with the water barrel… clearly not enough pressure, so I will still do some hand watering when there is time… the plants really like the rain water best…

when I arrived home and walked into the garden from the garage, a very large dragonfly flew up and landed on my purse… stayed there while I pulled out my phone and opened the camera… then it flew away before I could get a picture…

just looked out the window a few minutes ago and saw this lovely moon…

20140710-220402-79442923.jpgwill be completely full on Saturday…

been a day filled with the wonderful nature around me…

crocus, flowers, hyacinth, in the moment, Lung Association, moon, serendipity, tulips

this morning I vacillated between bringing either the crocus or hyacinth to the office so that I could have some flowers and spring-ness…

but I decided not to bother today as it was so cold…

on my way to work I spent a few minutes enjoying the beautiful quarter moon in the sky…

mid-morning the Lung Association dropped off tulips which we had ordered…

I chose some off white and pink ones…

how serendipitous…

for the rest of the day I had the beauty of flowers right at my desk and when I got home the crocuses were opening up…

flowers make me so happy…

Baton Cookbook, big girl pants, crab mousse, great day, holidays, learning new things, moon, pot luck, Technology

was quite a day today… woke up to the moon shining over the neighbour’s house and I just had to take a few pictures while waiting for my ride…

moon with planet out the front this morning...

moon with planet out the front this morning…

spent the morning learning new things… some great financial templates and then a webinar on a system we use…

we had a wonderful pot luck at lunch time filled with great conversation…

I spent a good portion of the day teasing my colleagues about only having a few hours left before going on holiday… they took it pretty well…

for the pot luck I made crab mousse… it was from a Baton Cookbook that we produced when the girls were young… had a fun time the other day when I went through it looking for the recipe and seeing what we all ate back then… I was part of the group that designed, typed and laid out the cookbook, so lots of those memories came back too…

crab mousse for the pot luck...

crab mousse for the pot luck…

I put the mousse into a lovely star shaped dish I purchased last year instead of unmolding it so there wouldn’t be any stress trying to get it out in one piece… looked great with the slivered green onions on top and a few cranberries around it… was also pleased with the crackers which were shaped liked trees, snow people, bells and Santa… very festive, lol…

all in all a pretty great day…

big girl pants, headache, hot tub, moon, water shoes

woke up with a bad headache… my arm was very sore, as were my feet and back…

went out for a hot tub, wearing my water shoes and that worked very well, particularly as it was snowing like crazy and my slippers would have filled up with snow… wore a toque and a baseball hat to keep warm and not have snow in my eyes…

then went back into the house and slept for another few hours… still had the headache, but it had eased somewhat…

basically have done nothing all day, and my head is finally feeling better… feet are okay and my arm has improved as well…

going back to bed and looking forward to a good day tomorrow…

as I went upstairs just before dark the moon was gazing down at me so I went and got the camera and tripod and took a few pictures…

moon over the trees...
