beach, big girl pants, camping, camping day 2, fishing licence, omelette, relaxing, widow

another lovely day…

just a few photos of our activities…

started the morning with these great omelettes made in a sandwich bag placed in boiling water… didn’t take long and there was no mess… yay Pinterest…


prepared a picnic and headed to the beach for a wonderful afternoon… everyone made it into the water and enjoyed the waves and relaxing with books, the odd bit of Pokemon Go, or doing nothing, lol…

found a cool caterpillar which entertained all of us…

got a picture of the sky just after the eagle soared overhead…

found this tiny flower and had fun taking a few shots…

fit in a nap, and then found these…

reminded us of picking blueberries when we visited Uncle Bill and Aunty Vivian in Clearwater Bay…

supper cooked on the fire… looked tasty… and it was delicious…

this afternoon we picked up a fishing licence for me… was so excited that it was free because I am over 65…

after supper we went fishing…

while my daughter and I were casting, two Park Rangers came by to check us out… I said right away that I wanted a picture of me showing my licence to them… 

problem was it was in my wallet which I had left in my car at the campsite… luckily they believed me and we took a picture of me holding her licence, lol…

ending the evening sitting around the fire roasting marshmallows for s’mores as we watch the stars come out…

relaxing…

big girl pants, frog, garden, noisy, relaxing, siding, silence, sleep, sunshine, walk, widow

had a great sleep… yesterday my son-in-law fixed the flapping piece of siding on the house that has been loose for months…

  
it was amazing how noisy it was… the silence is lovely…

while they were cleaning out the pond, he discovered this little guy at the very bottom…

  
I am always excited when we come across critters in the garden… hope he hangs around for the summer…

  
spent the day reading and eating and napping after putting out all the cushions…  

  
moved from chair to lounger to chair throughout the day…

could have just vegged, but went for a walk in the sunshine while my dinner was cooking…

very relaxing day…

visit…

big girl pants, FaceTime, friend, hot tub, lentils, reading, relaxing, supper, vacation, visit

quiet day… 

had my first hot tub of the year… the birds were twittering and the squirrel was busy running back and forth in the cedar trees at the back of the yard… 

made some red lentil curry and it came out great… will certainly make that again, which is good because I bought four different types of spices to make it, lol…

  
had a lovely visit with a good friend and spent some FaceTime with my Ottawa daughter… we are starting to consider some lakeside vacation time in July for the whole family… 

got in a bit of reading…

supper with most of the kids… one was on a play date, so only four of them were here…

  
relaxing after dinner…

big girl pants, hot tub, presents, relaxing, sunshine, wrapping

did very little today but that was fine… had a really long week…

yesterday morning the sun shone onto the trees across the street and I took this picture…

  
lovely… still really enjoying the days when the sun is shining…

finished up the wrapping of all the presents that I have already purchased… they will still need ribbon added to them but are all ready for that step…

finished my list of what still needs to be picked up and had some lovely phone calls with my girls…

watered plants and put chemicals in the hot tub… it was gorgeous outside… made all my meals and lounged on the bed watching tv…

nice way to spend a day… very relaxing…

lovely sky this afternoon…

  

relaxing…

Assiniboine Park, big girl pants, garden, mosquitoes, relaxing

had a quiet relaxing morning as I didn’t start work until eleven… lovely to be able to putter around the house…

began to unwind on the drive home as we took the scenic route along Wellington Crescent… such a pretty drive, even went through the Park… 

arrived home to find my friends in the garden with the cushions already on the chairs…

 
had a great couple of hours enjoying our time together as the sun set… lots of laughs and interesting conversation in a beautiful setting… although we might have spotted a couple of mosquitoes…

 
the newly potted plants look great…  

I love this weather and the time I get to spend outside…

hot tub…

big girl pants, hot tub, relaxing, Toque, water boots

just in from a very nice time in the hot tub…

now into the winter hot tub system… that means wearing my water boots and my Rona toque…

the water boots are great because I don’t have to put a towel on the steps which I used to do when I wore slippers out… winter temperatures make stepping on plastic in bare feet a bit painful, lol… I go out, climb in, climb out, and go back into the house… the toque keeps my ears warm… it is amazing how warm ears keep your whole body comfortable…

as I sat there, I could hear the slap of the puck on the ice at the Club, just over the creek, as the hockey players were taking shots on the rink…

the garage light came on and off as the wind blew across the sensor, but the dog next door didn’t come out… he barks a lot…

no helicopters or sirens which is always great…

feels like -14 so it wasn’t too cold and I stayed out for quite a while… lovely relaxing time…

really looking forward to one more day of work before 15 days to rest…
