a few weeks ago I picked a beautiful ripe tomato from the tomato plant… when I turned it over it had blossom rot and I had to toss it..

last week I picked another one that had just started to turn the slightest shade of orange… it went onto a shelf in the kitchen and turned nicely red, and when it was turned over the bottom was perfect;-)… and it made a lovely open-faced sandwich…

today I took off the next tomato, this one is a bit smaller, but I am hopeful that it will ripen without the blossom rot;-)…

hoping that this will turn into another beauty…

on Monday we gathered at our usual time, all wearing our orange shirts…

before we started, my grandson took a few minutes to take our photo…

we do like to commemorate our gatherings, lol…

during the previous week there had been some interesting TRW lunch and learns which provided some information we hadn’t known before…

it is always good to come together and share our lives and talk about what is going on in the world…

went just a few streets further on my walk this morning…

it was overcast and a bit cool, which made it perfect for walking;-)…

today, orange and yellow seemed to be the colours that drew me…

it is fun to look at houses and how front yards are designed… even came across an Inukshuk…

caught some geese that were flying right above me…

and had a different view of the Park bridge, ice sculpture and pavilion…

glad I went early, as not too long after I got home it rained for ages…

this memory came up in my feed on Thursday… it was from a year ago and clearly the tomatoes were ripe and nearly ready to eat…

this one is from the garden this Thursday…

obviously these ones are quite a ways behind, lol…

the other day I counted thirty-two poppy buds…

since then twenty-six have opened… I go out every morning to take pictures and count them, lol…

they look so beautiful weaving back and forth in the breeze…

they were one of my beloved’s favourite flowers… maybe because they signalled the beginning of summer…

they decide where they will pop up and I am always so happy when they turn up each year… this time they are in the front of the garden;-)…

time to update the living room table…

I decided on sarongs in each square and then books from various trips for me to enjoy during this birthday month…

ran the sarongs through the wash to get rid of any wrinkles and then filled in the squares… went with purple and orange… purple for me, and orange for my daughter, with whom I went on many of the trips, lol…

looks bright and fresh and I have lots of special moments to enjoy;-)…

had a fun time in the Shirley Richardson Butterfly Garden at The Leaf on Thursday… it wasn’t too cold outside and bright so there was lots of activity…

a fair number of people were in the space and there were many butterflies…

apparently I was enamoured with the orange ones, lol…

this little one sat and offered different poses;-)…

and, of course, I tried to catch the elusive Blue Morpho… there were quite a few of them, but what makes it elusive is that you need to catch it in flight to capture the blue colour, lol… but I did get a partial shot;-)…

at least you can see some of the blue…

spending time in this space sure does make me happy;-)…

today…

I signed a petition…

read a book – 21 Things You May Not Know About The Indian Act... one of the Appendices included the 94 recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada…

put orange sarongs on both doors (the only orange I have)… they darkened the space, so every time I walked by them I was reminded of my focus for today…

listened to “A Day to Listen”… yesterday I heard a few of them on the radio, but today took the time to hear all of them…

made donations to The Gord Downie and Chanie Wenjack Fund and Indigenous Residential School Survivors Society…

thought long and hard about what we/I must continue to do to make right relations…

although it was a new and sad way to spend Canada Day, I learned a great deal… and I will not forget…

the kitchen counter looked rather sad because it was covered in stuff… I’ve been setting things that have come in the mail onto it to quarantine until I can open them, lol…

happily there were two packages filled with chocolate bars sitting there that had served their time… they were ready to add to my chocolate stash…

previously I’d been using two small plastic containers, but clearly that wasn’t going to work now… I searched through the house looking for the right size container and came upon an orange flower box which had held a flower delivery… how happy is that…

cleaned off the shelf in the cupboard which held the chocolate and some larger mugs and then reorganized… I moved the mugs to the back as I haven’t been using them much lately and then put the lovely orange box, filled with all the chocolate, towards the front of the shelf…

looks great and now it will be easier to get to…

of course I have to make sure not to eat too much chocolate… but now there is easier access…
