big girl pants, orchid, purple, sunshine, surprise

got a lovely surprise today…

my friend brought me a gorgeous purple orchid…

it was a thank you for using my car… I’m happy to lend it to her… it always comes back filled with gas and freshly washed… I still don’t like to take it to the car wash…

during the winter I don’t take it out much so it is always happy to get a drive in, lol…

I was so happy because I’ve been trying to get out and pick an orchid up for the house… they are wonderful because they flower for a long time…

I do tend to treat flowering plants like cut flowers… enjoy them until they die off…

was particularly lovely, as I had spent the day at home… still wasn’t feeling well so gave in and climbed back into bed this morning…

had a hot tub in the afternoon and watched the squirrel come down through the trees like they were stairs… didn’t see any birds even though the sun was shining… it shone for a good portion of the day which was also very nice as it has been dull for ages…

hoping to feel much better in the morning…

big girl pants, blessed, faces, hot tub, missing George, orchid

I have a similar picture to this on my computer sign in screen at work…

orchid... do you see a face...

orchid… do you see a face…

recently a colleague had been at my desk and took a few moments to admire the picture and advised me that she felt it looked just like a face…

made me think of George, who was always bringing me orchids… for home and the office…

I was missing him tonight as I was sitting in the hot tub… not feeling that great and remembering how well he took care of me when I was sick…

I always felt I was a much better patient than he was, lol…

he nearly always knew what I would like to eat and would organize it… often fried egg sandwiches would be on the menu… he really made the very best ones…

this picture is from 2011… around this time that year a couple of us took a photography class… we had such fun… it is great to go back and remember some of the great things we have done…

big girl pants, budding, celebrating, Mother's Day, orchid

started off with an early morning hot tub…

20140511-200019.jpgtook my phone out with me to get a picture of the view from there…

received phone calls and messages throughout the day…

went for a walk and noticed how many trees were budding… it was a bit cool and overcast so had a nap when I got home… later in the day the sun broke through the clouds and we were able to sit out and enjoy the spring day…

kids came over and the boys did some yard work and then produced dinner… well, mostly Jeff… a lovely treat…

they also brought me an adorable small phaleanopsis orchid…

big girl pants, bunny, Easter, eggs, flowers, George, orchid, pretty

this afternoon I was wishing I had some flowers for tomorrow’s Easter dinner…

not an hour later my nephew stopped by with a lovely orchid for my birthday from he and his mom…

20140419-203106.jpg she and I had a lovely conversation earlier in the day… we don’t see each other often as she is living in the West…

20140419-203346.jpggot to sit on the deck for a while before the sun went behind the clouds and spent time preparing for tomorrow’s dinner… stuffing is done and the potatoes are peeled…

tried to find a pedometer online and over the phone, as we are starting a walking contest at work on Tuesday… no luck yet, but hope to get one on Monday…

took care of a few chores around the house and watched tv…

more melting outside…

20140419-204507.jpgsure hope the Easter bunny stops by before the kids arrive tomorrow, lol…

was always George’s job to make sure the bunny had been… last year I wasn’t able to deal with it, but this year I will check in the morning to see if the bunny came… hope we get mini eggs…
