had a quiet day yesterday… spent time taking photos of ornaments on the tree and the orchids…

a friend dropped off the fixings for turkey dinner which I warmed up at supper time… it was a lovely treat and made for a relaxed and enjoyable meal… ended the day with hot lemonade in my new mug and gifted shortbread…

just another reminder of how blessed I truly am…

very relaxed and sunshiny day…

slept in and the boys had cereal for breakfast while I had a smoothie…

games and tv took up a good portion of their day… we also labeled items for camp and did a bit of clothing repair…

after grilled cheese for lunch, we walked over to Amherst Park where the boys played some football and we took a picture of them in the same spot where they had played on July 2nd, 2011 with Grandpa;-)…

it was lovely to watch them as they tossed and kicked the ball back and forth… I spent a bit of time on the swings, lol…

from there we walked to 7-Eleven for slurpees…

back home for more tv and games…

baths, supper and quiet time before bed…

we’ve been keeping to the menu that we made when shopping on Friday, so tonight we had lamb chops, rice, mushrooms, carrots and radishes…

looks like the rain is coming…

hope tomorrow is a nice day for Zoo camp;-)…

much more relaxed day today…

started the day with a hot tub in the mist… while I was sitting there, looked over to see I had left cushions on one of the chairs, lol… luckily that chair was under one of the cedars…

happy to find a white mandevilla along with a couple of pretty baskets when I was out shopping…

picked up a few groceries, came home and had a short nap… spent the remainder of the day in the shade reading…

because it was so lovely out, I chose a steak for dinner… and I brought Barbie out of the garage to make it… usually I don’t bother unless the kids are over and they do the barbecuing, but did a great job of the meat and the asparagus… even cooked the mushrooms out there… forgot to take a picture of them on Barbie, lol…

delicious dinner…

easy…

took it easy today after all the fun and busyness of the last week…

slept in and had a smoothie for breakfast… unpacked and did laundry… put chemicals in the hot tub and watered the plants…

added the new blanket to the bed, watched a good amount of tv (we didn’t even turn the one on in our room while we were away)… and also ate chips… had very few while I was away… missed them a lot…

gathered up all the chocolate that I purchased and took a few photos…

loving my new tech bag… it has all my bits and pieces in one spot…

tonight took this picture of the sun setting… appreciated the sunsets in Mazatlan but happy to be home and see my own, lol…

really enjoyed the quiet day…

choices…

big girl pants, choices, dandelions, garden, plant therapy, pond, relaxed, tadpoles, widow

what a glorious day… up and out early for tests, and then to the Park for a walk around the Gardens, both of which were open… 


the newly paved walkways are much easier to maneuver…

breakfast at the Park Cafe, followed by another short walk where I spotted some goslings…


was pleasantly surprised with how relaxed I was as I ate on my own… those big girl pants get easier to wear nearly every day…

home, set out the cushions in the garden and had a lovely cup of tea…

my daughter picked me up and we had some plant therapy… 


a lot of it actually… we made a few trips to drop stuff off, lol…

while waiting for her to arrive I took this shot of the front yard, covered in dandelions…


before she left she mowed it… yay, looks way better now…

sat out and read for a while, then filled the planters that circle the deck with alyssum and campanula… slight departure from the usual choices, but looks good…


the last few years the trailing lobelia has not done well in this location, so we will see…

had leftover sushi for my dinner and cleaned up from the planting…

it has cooled off a bit, but I am cozy under a light blanket enjoying a book… 

earlier I spotted tadpoles in the pond and got this shot of one a few minutes ago…


wonder how many frogs there are going to be!!!

chores…

had a good day… it was both restful and productive… got lots of chores done…

made a batch of zucchini basil soup and had some for my lunch… tasty as always…

watered plants and did laundry while watching some PVRed shows…

packed more items into my bag for the trip and read up on a few more places to eat…

spent time cleaning up email on the computer and trying to figure out the scanner… maybe tomorrow that piece of technology will cooperate, lol…

  
sun shone for the entire day, but it was cold with lots of blowing…

water…

big girl pants, fire alarm, fish, pond, puddles, rain, relaxed, water

quite a day…

had to top up the water in the pond, so I spent a few minutes enjoying the fish… always makes me feel calm and relaxed…  

  

overcast when we headed to work… but still nice…

around two our fire alarm went off…

  
out we went, and across the street to the approved gathering spot… started to spit while we were out there… 

three fire trucks and two other fire vehicles arrived to check things out… work in the basement may have caused the alarm, so we were back inside within half an hour, once they were able to find the alarm panel and turn it off… that bell is very loud…

within five minutes of our return to the office the sky went black and the heavens opened…

  

picked up by my daughter and grandson and we went to The Burger Place for supper as the concert they were going to was cancelled due to the storm…

  
it was still raining and the puddles were amazing…

  
my daughter took this great shot of the corner where we were having our supper… one of George’s favourite places…

got home and was happy to discover that, although water had come into the basement, it had mainly been soaked up by the towels that I leave on the floor…

  
a bit had run across the floor to the drain, but nothing had gone as far as the carpet…

  

probably didn’t need to top up the pond, lol…
