≈ Comments Off on prune…
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…

this little flower made me think of all those I know who are hanging on by a thread for a variety of reasons… even though it has been cold and snowy it is still blooming…
I was also thinking of a friend’s comment that they couldn’t pull out the plants that were still flowering in their garden, lol…
beauty is all around us, if we just take a moment to look…

quiet day today…
went and got a hair cut…
topped up the hot tub, trimmed some Virginia creeper and took a few pictures in the garden of the last few blooming plants…
made an appointment for a pedicure with a friend next week and finished the turkey soup…
enjoyed it with some of Mom’s dumplings…
great day…

the hibiscus made it into the house and was looking great… so far…
still had lots of buds and I was eagerly waiting to see if they would bloom because sometimes the buds fall off after a move…
the above photos were taken on Tuesday and the ones below were taken tonight…
it was so wonderful to have these blooming today as it has been snowing since early this morning, sigh…
guess the timing was good, lol…

the sky has been doing some quite lovely things…
last night I got a great shot out the front window and the daylight this morning was amazing…
the colours came out exactly as I saw them… that doesn’t always happen…

I love taking pictures of raindrops on things… once the rain is over, lol…
it is very funny because I don’t like rain… but I like what it does after it has fallen…
I was also realizing how green the lawn is as I walked up the street after all the rain we’ve received recently… reminded me of Courtenay, BC, where the grass was usually brown most of the summer but once the rainy season came, everything burst into amazing shades of green…

last year around this time we went out to Falcon Lake for some camping fun…
I picked up the cutest magnetic screen protectors, shaped like butterflies… I put the three of them on the patio screen door…
recently I caught this picture of an actual butterfly on the screen…
wondered if it was having a visit with its magnet friends, lol…

so excited because I found a new way to download my iPhone photos in a quick and simple way…
picked up this iXpand Flash Drive SanDisk which holds 64 gb…
while I was sitting in the parking lot of the store, I downloaded the app and saved 1800 photos to the drive… all in about five minutes…
previous methods I’ve used have taken way longer to copy pictures…
easy to find the pictures by date and then copy them back to the iPhone if needed…
oh, I think I’m going to have lots of fun…
