the other day my grandson came to the door and said something had happened to my plants… he heard a crash as he was showering and came out to the shower caddy that we had installed in January laying in pieces on the floor with bits of orchids everywhere…

I was so shocked I didn’t even take a picture of the carnage…

it took a while to pick up the plants, sweep up the broken bits, and dump out the soil…

then, we ignored it for a few days, lol…

when we put it back up, we decided to use strapping and screws…

I still need to replace the one broken pot…

hopefully this time the whole shelf won’t come crashing down, lol…

spent a little time the other day cleaning the shelf beside the hot tub…

there were tons of vines from the Virginia creeper and dead leaves around the circle of friends…

it looks so much tidier now…

thinking about what plant might go on the shelf when the weather starts and stays warm…

I was working away on the computer in the den, all by myself, and was startled to hear a loud bang from upstairs…

ran up, asking Google to turn on the bedroom light, and discovered that the glass shelf beside the closet had fallen to the ground… it and the weights that were sitting on it were fine😳…

put everything back and wondered if it was a reminder that I need to start using the weights, rather than just admiring their beauty, lol…

my heartbeat has returned to normal now…

on Wednesday I took all the ornaments off the trees in the living and dining rooms… the dining room one looked a little lonely and empty as it sat on the table…

the ornaments ended up on two tables and are still there, lol… but I have washed out a bin and it is drying as I write this…

Thursday I brought up the box that the trees live in and was able to squash them in…

then I taped it closed and was able to get it downstairs but not onto the shelf where it lives… will have to wait for someone else to lift it up;-)…

I have a shelf in a kitchen cupboard where my mugs go…

a few taller ones go on the shelf above…

the goal is that when I get a new one I have to give one away…

over Christmas I have accumulated three new mugs, two as gifts and one that I picked up at the Assiniboine Park WildThings Gift Shop…

very happy that I was able to take out four mugs to put in the pass-me-over box…

while having tea with a friend today we discussed how much she loves my mugs… we decided that, as it gets more difficult to let a mug go, I shall pass it along to her, knowing the mug will be loved, lol…

this might just make it easier;-)…
