#wpgwhiteout, big girl pants, fun, gear, jerseys, Jets, large, photos, white, widow

nearly forgot to wear white to work this morning…

we had decided to take a photo of everyone in Jets gear… three staff members brought various pieces of clothing for those who didn’t have any…

it was quite a collection… there were jerseys, t-shirts, jackets, scarves, towels, hats, a coverall and even a white pompom…

part of the fun was deciding what worked best for each of us, lol… some of the jerseys were quite large…

while that was happening I found a great picture to put up on our tv…

once we were all dressed up we took a number of photos…

and got a few great shots… fun to be part of the #wpgwhiteout…

artist, BestCanvas, big girl pants, chat, flowers, garbage, happy, lilac, neighbour, photos, recycling, signs, snow, Spring, widow

two lovely signs of Spring today…

early this morning I was taking out the garbage and recycling… hadn’t been able to open the garbage container for a few weeks as it had frozen shut… happily it melted enough that I could finally open and fill it up…

as I was putting them out my neighbour came by and we had a short visit… it was warm enough for us to have a chat… he offered to bring them in once they were emptied… nice to connect with neighbours as the season improves…

and I was so excited later in the day when my BestCanvas picture arrived… it is a beautiful shot I’d taken at the Park of a lilac blossom and it looks amazing…

I’ve printed many of my photos and have a wall of my water lily shots, but it was rather energizing to have something on canvas… I feel like an artist, lol…

lilacs are one of my favourite flowers and another sign of Spring…

now, if the snow would stop coming, and the sun stay out longer, it really would be Spring…

. soup, big girl pants, cookie, eating, Eggs Benedict, moondogs, photos, red lentil curry, widow

early this morning I took a few pictures of the moondogs… they were very cool…

there seemed to be a lot of eating for the remainder of the day, lol…

had Eggs Benedict for breakfast… a liver cleansing vegetable soup at lunch… red curry lentils over rice for supper… ended the meal with a homemade chocolate chip cookie that a friend recently brought me…

also very happy with the February picture on my Chihuly calendar… reminds me of the Citron Tree at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens;-)… that was a once-in-a-lifetime trip…

excellent day…

big girl pants, camera, display, early, eclipse, happy, moon, photos, widow

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…

big girl pants, Fitbit, lunch, photos, pictures, screenshot, wally, widow

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…

Assiniboine Park, beloved, big girl pants, drive, hoarfrost, photos, remembering, trees, widow

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…

mesmerizing…

anxious, beloved, big girl pants, garden, hot tub, memories, moments, photos, sky, sleep, snow, stressed, sun, sunset, widow

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…

big girl pants, cape, halloween, photos, place, pumpkins, sky, treadmill, widow, witch’s hat

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…

dim sum, family, fun, grandsons, memories, photos, pictures, selfies, sky

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…
