. soup, big girl pants, pea, robin, swim

made pea soup with the ham bone from Easter dinner… a lot of soup… was a bit worried because it was quite thin…

then I remembered that I was on for Souper Thursday this week…

saved and froze the fabulous buns from our Homer’s dinner on Monday… I do not freeze bread of any kind, but wanted to keep them fresh…

took the car and brought the soup to the office… went over well, and tasted good… we also had cheese, hummus, veggies and various chips… many of my colleagues have only used dried split peas whereas I use frozen green peas…

  

brought home a little bit and will have to call my son-in-law to pick some up… he loves pea soup too…

when I got home I could hear robins singing in the backyard, even thought I couldn’t see them…

had a good swim and a great time with my friend…

Easter…

birds, cupcakes, dinner, Easter, eggs, hot tub, robin

lovely Easter Day…

started with time in the hot tub listening to sparrows and a woodpecker, seeing my first robin, and geese flying overhead…

later laid out in the sun and actually have a bit of pink on my arms and face…

kids came over and we had a lovely afternoon hunting for eggs, painting chocolate, colouring and reading…

then a great dinner with turkey and all the trimmings, and a small rack of lamb…

cupcakes and a visit from friends before everyone left…

Alaska cruise, alyssum, George with me, hot tub, look after me, nesting, robin, tennis ball exercise, weather, what tomorrow brings

one of the first things I saw this morning out the front window was a robin filling it’s beak with old alyssum bits…  it gathered up a huge amount and then flew off… obviously in the process of building a lovely nest…

robin gathering nesting materials...

robin gathering nesting materials…

made me think a bit about my nest and how it feels rather empty…

later, when I was driving to physio, I was feeling a little sorry for myself… wishing that George was with me, to look after me…

was thinking how he would have enjoyed making sure that I did the exercises prescribed by Tori… today’s included a tennis ball to roll around on my hip…

realizing there are fourteen days to my Alaska cruise and I still haven’t read all the information that arrived in yesterday’s mail… and I need to start checking the weather along the coast to see what it is like as the days get closer…

beautiful night, with the new moon and lots of stars when I was just out in the hot tub… will see what tomorrow brings…
