my middle grandson arrived yesterday afternoon to do some shovelling…

he made a path from the house to the garage… and then to the back lane… all around the hot tub… and the top deck…

there was a lot of snow and it hadn’t been touched since Thursday…

he, of course, arrived with runners on his feet, lol… he had good gloves but his hands got cold, so for part of the job, he used grandpa’s garbage mitts that I had brought outside…

the driveway got a quick shovel as well as the sidewalks… they had been shovelled and snow blowed twice by the neighbour…

shoes…

a few weeks ago I was stopped at a light on my way to work and someone crossed in front of me with the most amazing green runners… it was too late to get out my phone to take a picture… a few days later I was waiting by Polo Park and a ton of people were rushing to make the light and many of them had cool shoes… again, no time to take any photos…

since then I’ve been obsessed with shoes…

wherever I’ve been walking, if I see some interesting shoes l stop and take a picture, after asking if it is okay…

people seem to feel special and always say yes…

here’s what I’ve come up with so far…

when my oldest was a pre-teen, she went through a stage where she always wore two different coloured runners… lasted for a few years and still now, if I spot someone with two different shoes on it reminds me of those days…

on my Facebook page I often put up pictures of my feet as I am relaxing by the pond… it has become a bit of a ritual to do foot pictures in various places now… getting pedicures, waiting for appointments, on vacation…

this one from March is of my son-in-law and I in Mazatlan as we were waiting for a strike on the fishing lines, which never did happen…

took this one yesterday as I was drinking tea and waiting for my hair to dry…

big girl pants, breakfast, English Garden, Leo Mol Garden, path, runners, snow, sun, tulips, walk, widow

strange weather today… had planned to meet a friend for a walk around the Gardens at the Park…

sky was lovely when I was first up at 6:45…


if you look hard, you might see the robin in the tree… then this…


all those white dots – snow, sigh… so we decided to meet for breakfast instead…

actually wore runners because I didn’t want to get my toes wet and the temperature was around zero…


after breakfast I went for a walk to and around the English Garden…

couldn’t get into the Leo Mol portion but was excited to see they are replacing the gravel path with bricks… they have replaced other paths in the Garden as well… looks very nice and will be easier to walk on…


the tulips are just starting to open… glad I went over today… hope to get there next week to see them in full bloom…


finally, about 6, the sun came out… crazy day, lol…
