went just a few streets further on my walk this morning…

it was overcast and a bit cool, which made it perfect for walking;-)…

today, orange and yellow seemed to be the colours that drew me…

it is fun to look at houses and how front yards are designed… even came across an Inukshuk…

caught some geese that were flying right above me…

and had a different view of the Park bridge, ice sculpture and pavilion…

glad I went early, as not too long after I got home it rained for ages…

this morning I discovered a number of poppies and bachelor buttons were blooming in the wildflower pot;-)…

apparently, a couple of the poppies had slipped under the fence and grown up between the bricks in the neighbouring yard, lol…

it was fun to get a photo of all of them beside the Inukshuk;-)…

the pot is overcrowded so I hope that more will bloom before a space problem arises…

the other day I counted thirty-two poppy buds…

since then twenty-six have opened… I go out every morning to take pictures and count them, lol…

they look so beautiful weaving back and forth in the breeze…

they were one of my beloved’s favourite flowers… maybe because they signalled the beginning of summer…

they decide where they will pop up and I am always so happy when they turn up each year… this time they are in the front of the garden;-)…

snacking…

Sunday morning I saw a deer in the field across the creek… I pointed it out to my neighbours so a couple of them went over to watch it…

apparently it had been eating their hostas…

later in the day we had a visitor at the bird feeder…

I had wondered why the seeds in one feeder had gone down so quickly, lol… eventually I opened the door and it headed across to the lane and out of sight…

today I was looking out the window only to see it back again…

as it came to the feeder I knocked on the window but it didn’t care… finally I opened the door to encourage it to leave the birdseed alone… and off it went…

I’m happy to see wildlife but don’t want to encourage eating of sunflower seeds… I may have to bring the feeders in for a few days to discourage the snacking…

had a delightful time yesterday afternoon as I watched a monarch butterfly flit about the garden for quite some time…

it was overcast, but I continue to spend as much time as possible outside… as I was reading I looked up to see a monarch going by…

couldn’t get a great picture, as of course I didn’t have the Nikon outside, lol… and the butterfly moved quickly…

some milkweed is just starting… some was recently planted, but has no flowers yet…

hopefully this monarch and some friends come by as the weather improves and flowers are ready for them…

sarongs…

time to update the living room table…

I decided on sarongs in each square and then books from various trips for me to enjoy during this birthday month…

ran the sarongs through the wash to get rid of any wrinkles and then filled in the squares… went with purple and orange… purple for me, and orange for my daughter, with whom I went on many of the trips, lol…

looks bright and fresh and I have lots of special moments to enjoy;-)…

recently I saw something on Instagram which reminded me of our wonderful visit to Ali’i Kula Lavender on Maui…

it was a beautiful place, with nice lavender fields, but also amazing gardens filled with stunning flowers…

I found a few photos from that day…

this hand towel usually hangs in the bathroom as a lovely reminder of that wonderful day and trip…

so nice when something comes along and reminds you of special moments…

Tuesday went out and shovelled the sidewalks and steps again…

the sun was shining and it was a beautiful day, even though the weather app said it was -25°C…

the sun has been a bit elusive over the last while so it was a real treat;-)…

it had snowed a bit on Sunday and Monday, although there wasn’t too much on the ground…

took a few photos as I was working away, lol…

snow, sun, trees…

all make me enjoy the moments and try to capture them;-)…

took some time to begin the process of changing the living room table display for the fall…

removed the shells that I rediscovered in the spring… I won’t forget where I put them this time (upstairs in the Computer room closet🤪), lol…

I decided to put my camera collection out… I had to move the glass to fit one of them in…

next I printed photos to put in each of the squares… that was a bit of a process between the iPhone, computer, and printer, lol… besides having to choose only sixteen (well, seventeen)…

I’m rather pleased with how it came out;-)…

next change will be glittery things for the holiday season…

finally went for a walk a week ago…

took a few books and dropped them off at a Little Library…

on my walk I got a few nice photos…

this flower bed had purple in it and on the planter and behind is a purple picnic table;-)…

didn’t go all the way to the Park, but want to get back into the habit, so decided to start small…

felt good;-)…
