had an idea the other day when I was watching tv upstairs… I’ve been thinking it was time to change up the display in the living room table, so I got started…
found a number of framed photos from the computer room and my collection of fancy gemstones…
I gathered up some of my angels… I have given away most of them, but kept a few of my favourites, lol…
brought everything to the living room table and had a lovely time putting them into the squares…
remembering where they came from and why they were special to me…
finally scraped the chipped areas on the back door…
then I pulled out the paint, stirred it for quite a while and painted the bare portions… it was very interesting to see how blue it looked before being stirred up… that probably explains why so many of my purple things turn blue after sitting in the sunlight, lol…
it has been drying and is looking good… I think I will give it one more coat…
had the most five or six delightful minutes in the garden this afternoon;-)…
I was eating the last delicious bits of yesterday’s Blizzard on the back deck and spotted a hummingbird in the garden…
for a long time we had feeders, but no hummingbirds, so we gave up… a few have flown through over the years, but none stayed around to snack…
it moved around slurping from the petunias which are everywhere in the space this year… from the six planters around the deck, to the morning glories in the dahlia planter in the centre of the yard, to the baskets hanging along the neighbour’s garage… and back again…
my camera was close by, but I just enjoyed the moment…
I’m fairly sure it was a female ruby-throated hummingbird…
how blessed that I was sitting in that spot and looked up at that exact moment…
in April I tried to get in to see my eye doctor at Armstrong and Small… I hadn’t been since 2019 and had noticed that my vision was not what it used to be… knew that I would need new glasses…
I was able to get an appointment for the beginning of June and was in the office for over two hours… my eyes were fine, but there was quite a bit of conversation about getting new glasses between my optometrist and the optician helping me with the glasses…
they ordered some frames and I went back about a week later to try them on… they looked good so we moved forward with ordering them…
I have nearly always had glass lenses, but they are nearly impossible to get now… after much discussion, plastic lenses, made in Canada, were ordered and would likely take about three weeks to arrive…
my current lenses have a slub on the right side… the purpose was to help my eyes focus as the prescription in the eyes is so different… we are going to try something else this time, so will see how it goes…
on Tuesday I got a call that the glasses were in and scheduled an appointment for Wednesday…
went in, had them adjusted, tested the magnetic sunglasses clip, and brought them home… loving the purple case, lol…
I am getting used to them and can see better, which is the most important thing;-)…
