beloved, big girl pants, flowers, jacket, orchid, romantic, Valentine's Day, widow

been thinking a lot about Valentine’s Day and my beloved…

he was a romantic and always made sure that the day was special for me… he was also romantic the rest of the year…

been dealing with a few household issues lately and maybe that’s why I’ve been thinking of him so much…

on our last Valentine’s together he had a lovely card, a rose, cinnamon hearts and a jacket I’d been coveting from his work – all sitting on the kitchen counter when I came downstairs… he’d had to go through quite a process to get the jacket for me as they didn’t have the right size at his store, so he’d gone to another location to get it.. still one of my favourites…

every time I have flowers they remind me of all the individual roses, bouquets and orchids he brought me over the years… particularly during the winter months when I would often feel down… 

flowers have always been able to perk me up and bring a smile to my face…

anniversary, big girl pants, George, hibernation, ladybugs, preparing, romantic, roses, trees, walk

absolutely gorgeous day…

took a walk to the grocery store to pick up a few things for tomorrow’s dinner…

came across this beautiful tree… admired it when I passed it the first time and had to stop to take a picture when I came back…

  
also got a shot of some Virginia creeper berries…

  
there aren’t any leaves left on them… that frost last week did a lot of plants in…

the ladybugs have been out in full force for the last few days… yesterday there were five at once on the bedroom window…

today they were on the door when I left the house, landed on me as I was walking and were inside and outside the house…

   

not sure why they are everywhere… from a bit of reading it looks like the warm weather might have woken them up from hibernation…

I also spent some time preparing vegetables, more stuffing and cranberry sauce…

  
friends are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary which made me spend a bit of time remembering ours… it was when I was in hospital with pancreatitis and waiting for gall bladder surgery… we had missed a trip to the coast to see the kids because I got sick…

on our anniversary George brought in a basket with 40 roses in it… it was amazing… at night they had to put it into the hall because the perfume was so strong, lol… he was such a romantic…

good times… 

 

my Valentine…

Canada Day shirt, full moon, my beloved, my valentine, Olympics, romantic, roses

hard day today… Valentine’s Day and a full moon, lol…

woke up early thinking of my beloved… he was quite the romantic… one of the things he always did was make sure both of the girls got a rose… sometimes they would be delivered but most often he would deliver them himself…

for the last two years I have sent them a rose in remembrance of their dad, who loved them so much… this year I sent them the day before so they would have them for the whole of Valentine’s Day…

Crystal's rose...

Crystal’s rose…

did well at work except for the email that a friend sent which brought a tear to my eye… sometimes I forget that I am still loved…

Cyndi's rose...

Cyndi’s rose…

had a little meltdown at the end of the day when there was conversation about partners and their level of romanticism… had to leave, and as I drove home tears were streaming down my face as I remembered my beloved and how special he would make me feel…

in 2012, our last Valentine’s Day together, he gave me a jacket I had been eyeing for quite a while, along with a beautiful red rose, heart chocolates and candies… I considered wearing that jacket this morning but decided I should wear red, rather than purple…

the only red thing in my closet that wasn’t too warm was a red Canada Day shirt which also seemed like a good plan today as the Olympics continue…

how lucky I have been to have such a romantic in my life…
