waited till late in the day to fill the stairs with trees and Advent boxes…

should have started earlier because it took a while to get into the spirit, although I did enjoy the Christmas music I put on…

all of the lights worked right off the bat and eventually each box found a home…

the last few ended up by the front door…

the remainder of the forest found its way into the bathroom, the kitchen and onto the dining room table…

starting to feel like the season;-)…

enthralled…

a busy weekend;-)…

on Saturday we went to see Raised by Women at PTE… it was our last play of the season…

it was a seventy minute performance by the playwright Keith Barker… he did a great job and the time went by quickly as he held everyone enthralled with his stories…

adventures…

this afternoon we attended our last PTE theatre program of the season…

it was a well done discussion of a complex issue with lots of humour… we are looking forward to next season…

afterwards we went for ice cream at Sargent Sundae to mark the event;-)… it was delicious…

now we are planning other adventures over the summer…

pit-stops…

the new season of F1 racing has begun…

Saturday morning I was up a bit before the actual race and watched some of the pre-race show, before the main event…

I am enjoying learning more about many of the drivers and being able to recognize them…

and then the race was on…

it is still amazing how quickly the pit-stops happen and how much depends on which type of tire the teams are using…

it is also fun to try to get good photos from the tv…

one down and twenty-three to go;-)…

perfume…

I love the perfume that hyacinths produce, but it is very strong…

recently, I had company and knew that strong scents were difficult for them…

so I bagged both of the hyacinth plants to help dissipate the smell, lol…

they looked a bit funny but are now back in in the open and delighting me with the scent;-)…

team…

had a delightful afternoon with a dear friend…

she makes decorating for the season so much fun… both of us are team players and we work well together…

we did some of the usual set-ups and then tried something new… we hung a collection of wreaths together on the wall… looks good…

I can’t even say how many collections I have… more and more I am bringing out less and less… I think that January and February might be a good time to go through the boxes and pass many items along to others…

the living room looks lovely and spending time together brought out my holiday spirit;-)…

yesterday my hibiscus started to bloom…

when it moved into the house in late September it lost some of its leaves…

it didn’t bloom outside until really late in the season, so I was very happy when the buds started to form in the house…

it always takes a long time from the first bud to the blossom so I was surprised when I found it open yesterday and this morning the second bloom opened…

sure does brighten up the living room;-)…

a touch of red for the season…

cool…

first morning this season that I didn’t need to turn on the light in the bedroom…

great sign that Spring really is coming…

been overcast for most of the day and it is still quite cool with a bit of wind…

looking forward to some sunshine although it might not turn up until Friday…

been a month since we were on the sun drenched beaches of Mazatlan… 

have to channel some of that weather, lol…

season…

got home a few minutes after five last night and took this picture of the front street to show the light…

  
was quite excited to realize that it was light out… we are now on the side of the season where it is brighter every day… yay… 

always feel more positive when there is more light and sunshine… I take vitamin D and usually use a SAD light, but haven’t taken the time to turn in on in the morning for the last few weeks…

took this shot focussed tighter on the trees across the creek…

  
not really sure what happened, but it came out more like a painting than a photograph…

today I have done very little… changed the bed and then planted my behind on it for the majority of the day… feels wonderful to be doing nothing, lol…

happy to be able to take the time to recuperate from the crazy hectic weeks I’ve been experiencing…

recently I have been thinking about what good shape I am in these days compared to just a few years ago… I can lift things and walk without any problems… and I have no discomfort of any kind… 

I am blessed…

waiting…

everyone is tired and ready for bed…

now, if only the little people would go to sleep…

as we left the house to spend the night with the kids, I took a few shots of the spiral tree on the front step…

first time since we put it out that it has snow on it, lol… good view of the swag as well…

now we are waiting… for Santa…

earlier today I was thinking about how busy our Christmas eve’s used to be… running around picking up the last few bits and pieces for gifting, or doing set up so that everything would be ready in the morning…

today I waited for the Ottawa kids to arrive, and then spent time preparing food for tomorrow’s dinner…

in this season of peace, love and joy, I wish you and yours time with those you love and the opportunity to enjoy each of those moments…
