today I trimmed the hibiscus as it has been growing out in all kinds of odd directions…
I’ve read that this isn’t the best time to prune hibiscus, but it really needed to be tidied up…
and then, after I’d removed some branches, I realized that I had cut off buds!
very sad about that… put them in water and set them in the bathroom… hope they might still bloom;-)…

this morning I came across these pictures on Facebook…
they are from eleven years ago… before our youngest grandson was born…
a reminder for me that the boys have helped transfer the fish for many years…
I am able to enjoy these memories most of the time now when I come across them… not nearly so difficult to see photos of my beloved, which is a good thing…

went to PTE this afternoon… the play was thought-provoking and very well done…
walked home from Portage Avenue afterwards…
so many broken branches along the way…
that snowstorm really knocked around the trees and the city will be recovering for a long time…

it started snowing yesterday morning and has barely stopped since then… I’ve spent the day taking pictures…
around 7:30 I took a few photos out the front and back…
a bit later I went outside to shovel the front sidewalk and the back deck that leads to the garage and hot tub… that was around 9:30…
I looked out the front door at noon to see this…
hard to tell that I shovelled, lol…
shots from 2 and 7…
not going to look anymore tonight, lol…
will have to check it out in the morning… am going to have to find someone to shovel the driveway;-)…

well, my ear is doing much better… so far the meds are working with no side effects…
my technique is to take a photo of the box just before or after I use the drops so that I can remember what time I need to take them next, lol…
took the shot in a hurry this morning…
helpful, though…

my daughter called yesterday morning and while we were chatting I looked out the window and spotted this downy woodpecker…
it first landed on the metal pole and I was very worried it might try to drill into the metal and hurt itself, lol…
while we were on the phone I took quite a few photos as it moved over and gathered sunflower seeds…
not sure I’ve ever seen one of these guys at the feeder…

got some shots of flowers and birds in the garden…
sadly it seems that the flowers are getting a bit more sparse… temperatures are falling and the light is receding bit by bit…
also got a few photos of the chickadees as they were flitting back and forth to the feeder… they move so fast that I am always thrilled when I get a shot…
took these with my actual camera…
wondering when I need to bring in the Japanese Maple and the hibiscus… if I wait too long they get rather grumpy and lose all their leaves, lol…

the other evening there was a thunderstorm…
afterwards I took this photo out the front door… hadn’t been much sun for most of the day, so it was great to see this…
I was on the watch for a rainbow because the sky just had that look about it…
and then, this…
it was gorgeous and reminded me of the many rainbows we saw when we were on Maui… I think we saw at least one every day and one day we saw five…

had some fun taking photos of the moon setting and the sun rising…
ran back and forth from the front of the house, to the back to get the pictures…
amongst all the back and forth-ing, I also caught a shot of a plane and a bunny…
just a few days before that, I’d tried to get a shot of the full moon as it was setting, but clouds got in my way…
