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…

today I took three pictures…

the first was of the grocery bill so that I could enter it into the Wally Next App I am currently trying to get used to as the one I was using isn’t available any more, sigh…

the second was of my lunch… not exactly the best meal I’ve organized…

the final one was made up of screenshots from an email that Fitbit sent describing my activities over the last year…

not very many photos… need to start taking more because taking pictures does make me happy…

been thinking of my beloved a lot over the last few weeks…

recently took a drive through the Park and was remembering all the drives we had taken through it… we often enjoyed going to the Park Cafe for breakfast on a weekend morning and then taking a drive around the Park so that I could get some photos…

we particularly liked it when there was hoarfrost covering the trees… haven’t seen any this year but as I drove through it was overcast and a bit dull, which was a reminder…

he would have been interested in the construction going on for the new project… he would have explaine all that was happening and whether he thought they were doing it correctly, lol… he always knew what every piece of equipment was used for…

took these shots as I circled around…

it really is a beautiful place for a walk or a drive…

have been feeling stressed for the last few days… wasn’t until Facebook reminded me this morning that it has been five years and eight months since my beloved left me that I put two and two together…

had the worst sleep – or lack thereof – last night… was anxious and couldn’t settle down…

now that I know what the stressor is likely I can settle down… that’s what usually happens anyway…

finally had a hot tub this morning… been having some issues with the temperature dropping so plan to have someone out to give it a look… but this morning it was at just the correct temp…

had to climb through the snow to get there, lol…

at one point during the day the sun came out and shone brightly in the garden and I got this pic…

sun and shadow are so beautiful…

later on the sunset was lovely…

hoping for a better night’s sleep…

no time to walk on the treadmill this morning as I had to get the pumpkins in place on the steps and bring up a couple of inside pumpkins from the basement…

it was still dark, but sort of looked the same as they did this evening…

got a nice shot of the front of the house as I was leaving… the orange looks great with the purple and gray…

at the end of the street I stopped and got a picture of the stunning sky… happy that I was in a place where I could stop and take the picture…

often when I see one of these beauties there is nowhere to pull over and the shot doesn’t get taken…

I took my cape and hat to the office and on a break did a little walk about… a colleague got this picture which is just how I looked as I handed out treats tonight;-)…

had over thirty kids and almost ran out of goodies… excellent outcome…

happy halloween…

been a busy day…

it started with views of the beautiful sky out the window… a bit later met the kids for family photos… what fun we had…

started out pretty chilly but by the end it was beautiful… sun was shining and it was lovely and warm…

got a few selfies with the kids…

as we were leaving, spotted the skeleton arriving, lol…

then it was on to dim sum… while we were eating my daughter mentioned that it was nearly four years to the day when we took pictures with Jamie Noordman Photography at a dog park… laughed about some of the antics from that day and how much better our shoot went today…

son-in-law and I went to Costco for a few things and then I headed home…

the sky at the end of the day was easily as spectacular as the morning…

had some fun with my photos this morning…

needed to get my blood work done for my next doctor’s appointment and took a few pictures of the sunrise as I parked the car…

I always park a good distance from wherever I am going and then get some extra walking in so there is less pressure to get enough exercise…

spotted this lovely tree changing colour as I walked along…

the walk to and from the clinic was very nice on this beautiful day…

the final reminder of my day was this bruise from the blood work…

the technicians suggest that the longer you keep pressure on the spot where the needle was inserted, the smaller the bruise will be…

continued with the preparations for my trip…

ran out this morning to pick up a bit more chocolate to take with me…

on my way out I, of course, had to take photos of the morning glories that were blooming…

everything was rather thirsty but I didn’t have time then to water…

picked up treats at a few stores, including lunch for when I got home…

it was delicious…

my grandsons stopped by because I was hoping to move some furniture and needed a bit of help… sadly, after we moved a few things, we discovered that the biggest piece wasn’t going to make it through the hallway… oh well, so much for that…

since then I’ve spent time napping, watching some sports on tv… and fixing my Fitbit app so that my steps transfer to MyFitnessPal… hurray…

photos…

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…
