I’ve been trying to do something creative most days…

today I cut back all the roses and made a few different arrangements with them…

I liked the look of this Japanese teapot…

this is a fire pot so it was fun to use it in a different way…

here is what they looked like before the rearrangement…

lots of fun…

on my way out of the kitchen after doing the flowers I spent time walking on the spot and watching a bunny on the deck snacking at the saucer where I had just put some seed…

it was nice to see that the sparrows came right up to the feeder, even when the bunny was there… the squirrels always chase everyone else away… they are greedy, lol…

had a relaxing and productive day…

after finding another skein of wool, I finished (again) my little throw, lol… it is a good size now and will keep me warm on cold days in the den…

followed by pancakes and chicken livers ordered in for my lunch (and supper)…

then I had a lovely time taking photos of some of the roses…

ended the afternoon reading in the warm sunlight in the living room…

I miss my beloved all the time but seems more so around this time of year…

he was a romantic and always made it a special holiday for me… usually that included roses…

of course there haven’t been too many for me recently, lol…

I ordered books as a treat and didn’t expect them until the 15th, but they arrived early…

woohoo, looking forward to reading in the sunny living room over the next while…

yesterday I received a message that some flowers were coming my way…

I spoke with the florist who advised they would arrive before end of day…

but then, 6 pm came and went… they usually close at that time, so I figured there would be no flowers…

around 7:30 they arrived… still wasn’t sure who was sending them…

they were well wrapped because it was cold outside…

opened them up to discover a beautiful bouquet of orchids, roses and carnations…

they were from a Toronto supplier I had worked with over the last ten years…

a lovely surprise…

flowers, flowers, everywhere…

had roses delivered to the office this morning for the staff members who were away on Valentine’s Day… had to laugh because they were nicer than the ones we had… these ones came with greenery and glitter, lol…

and shortly after that our Manitoba Lung Association fundraiser tulips were delivered… the office was filled with beauty…

every day the sky is filled with light which lasts longer and is brighter, and to have flowers on top of that just makes me happy…

had a lovely time wandering around the office and taking pictures of the various roses…

I can’t explain how much joy I get from having flowers around…

seeing them wherever I turned brought a smile to my face…

between the roses and the fact that the daylight is getting longer every day my spirits have certainly been lifted…

now if only the temperature would start to rise in a steady manner…

beloved, big girl pants, Boston Pizza, Decadence Chocolates, kindness, roses, spicy perogy, treats, Valentine's Day, widow

last night I picked up roses for my colleagues and was touched when my florist advised she had added an extra one to be sure that I got one…

on the weekend I made valentines for everyone using my pictures, an app to put words on them, and wireless printing… lots of fun… currently I have one as the wallpaper on my phone…

always enjoyable to treat them…

my beloved really loved Valentine’s Day… he always got me roses and chocolates and made sure that both of the girls received a rose too…

I still send roses to the girls…

often we’d have our favourite steak and lobster for dinner;-)…

been feeling a little sorry for myself without him, so preparing treats for others helps me overcome that feeling…

had a lovely day at work… wore red, had snacks and decided I would order a heart shaped pizza for supper as a treat for me…

it was the spicy perogy, which I really like… made a salad to complete my meal…

maybe I will finish off a small piece of sugar-free Berrylicious from Decadence Chocolates as a final treat…

thanks to Victoria for sending me a couple of photos from the office;-)…

hoping that you had a day filled with kindness…
