great day…

looked out the bedroom window first thing to see this little squirrel playing queen of the castle on the peak of the neighbour’s roof…

when I first noticed it, it was eating some fresh pine bits… never spotted one in this particular place before…

always feel so blessed when something serendipitous like this happens… a minute either way and I could have missed this sight…

at noon had lunch with an amazing friend… wonderful time together on the patio at The MET… gorgeous day for a meal outdoors…

tasty and healthy salad… 

besides getting to spend time with her, she brought me an adorable gift…

a tiny glass hummingbird from the Butchart Gardens just outside of Victoria, BC… one of my favourite places ever…

a person could spend days wandering around enjoying the beautiful landscape and gorgeous flowers there…

have to find just the right spot to hang it…

what a treat…

swimsuits…

up early again… no doubt tomorrow I will want to sleep in… 

another serendipitous moment when I peeked out the patio doors and caught sight of this beautiful goldfinch having breakfast at the feeder, on this overcast/rainy day… 

put on those big girl pants and drove around the Perimeter to get to my daughter’s place… we went shopping before the family birthday party for the middle grandson and his daddy…

picked up new swimsuits for everyone to have here for the hot tub and one for me to leave at their house for their new hot tub…


tested out the hot tub, and both it, and the new swimsuit, were great…

also picked up a Canada Day t-shirt…


my older daughter encouraged me a few years ago to have an appropriate shirt on Canada Day so I’ve been doing that…

after supper the birthday boys blew out the candles on a Blizzard Cake from Dairy Queen…


drove home and got a shot of two more hibiscus flowers… 


quite a fun day, even if I am exhausted, lol…

serendipity…

big girl pants, bunny, goldfinch, in the moment, pictures, serendipity

been thinking about serendipity a lot lately…

on Saturday as I was heading downstairs from the second floor, I looked out the window and spotted a goldfinch at the feeder…


was able to run down, grab my camera and get a few pictures… didn’t see it again for the rest of the day, or since then…

tonight I walked home after dinner out with my BS buddies, and this little bunny ran across the street in front of me…


and then sat there giving me time to get out my phone and take a picture…

part of it is about being in the moment and making the most of it, ie taking the time to see what is around you…

flowers…

crocus, flowers, hyacinth, in the moment, Lung Association, moon, serendipity, tulips

this morning I vacillated between bringing either the crocus or hyacinth to the office so that I could have some flowers and spring-ness…

but I decided not to bother today as it was so cold…

on my way to work I spent a few minutes enjoying the beautiful quarter moon in the sky…

mid-morning the Lung Association dropped off tulips which we had ordered…

I chose some off white and pink ones…

how serendipitous…

for the rest of the day I had the beauty of flowers right at my desk and when I got home the crocuses were opening up…

flowers make me so happy…
