early this morning I picked my first pepper of the season…
looks like another two or three are starting… funny thing is I don’t really love green peppers, lol…
the morning glories are blooming all along the deck… up till today they were only flowering in one spot…
they remind me of when George would bring me pictures of whichever one was blooming every morning when I spent six weeks in the hospital…
it was so sweet…
over lunch we went to the Farmers Market and I got a great bag full of treats…
radishes, tiny cucumbers, peas, new potatoes and yellow beans (which we ate before I took the picture)…
summer is so precious…

a gorgeous evening…
the temperature right now is 27 degrees and I am sitting on the back deck by the pond enjoying the sounds…
well not really… as I write this an ambulance is going by and the neighbour is running his shopvac, lol… up until that point I was listening to the waterfall and chickadees flitting about the garden and watching a little red squirrel dash across the main deck…
the canna is blooming again… bright and beautiful, it was the first thing I saw when I looked out the window this morning…
I am continually surprised by how much happiness a blossom or two can give me…
on a recent walk through the English Garden at the Park I got a lovely shot of some Lisianthus…
next year I am going to grow some, although I’m not sure where I will find plants…
there were very few water lilies open but this one caught my eye…
some of them have the most interestingly patterned leaves while others are simply green…
simple things really do make me happy…
once again, as I spend these precious minutes steeped in the beauty of a late summer evening, watching the fish swim around the pond as the light fades, I realize what a gift my life is and how blessed I am…

this morning as I was taking out the garbage and recycling to the lane, the pond sounded funny… walked over and realized the strange sound was the pump sucking air… couldn’t really see it because it was still very dark, but I unplugged it to be sure it didn’t burn out…
tonight I took a picture of the pond…
hard to tell how low the water is with all the leaves in it, but it is low… also got a shot of these flowers which just keep blooming…
was reminded again today that our lives can change in the blink of an eye…
hug those you care about… tell them you love them… take the time to do what you want to do…
every moment is precious… don’t waste a single one…

lovely day…
sun shone and the wind blew… watched the last of the Olympics and organized supper… finally Jeff and I got our ham fix…
after dinner my youngest grandson and I sat on the couch and watched the beautiful sky…
we saw blue and pink and purple and gray and at one point even some green…
then we looked at pictures from our trip to Mexico and read an abc book where he pointed out the letters that make up his name and finger-drew them for me…
precious…
