yesterday my grandson picked me up at work and we drove to the lake to meet up with the rest of the kids…

a lovely drive and time to catch up with the oldest…

when we arrived at the campsite folks were starting to prepare dinner… perogies, garlic sausage, onions, mushrooms, corn on the cob, French beans and yellow wax beans…


and, as they nearly always do, cooked over the fire… takes a while, but was delicious…

not sure if the slightly murky looking skies are due to the wildfires in BC… have noticed that the sun is often behind a haze…


it was entertaining to watch the two men in the group as they had fun chopping wood for the fire… 


they are brothers and worked so well together to get the job done, but were clearly enjoying every minute…

family time…

last night, after our supper, cooked on the fire, we had s’mores… we used chocolate covered cookies and smooshed the marshmallow between two of them… yummy… couldn’t get a photo because it was dark…

today the sky was very interesting… this is the view I had when I woke up…


the dog and I took a short walk and got this picture…


up early again, but everyone else got up too, and we went fishing…


the sky was foggy or misty or smoky, we couldn’t decide which…



got a fun shot of some of the boats in the marina…


later in the day finally got a nice picture of one of the many loons we saw throughout our time in the boat…


there was lots of tubing fun..

wonderful day…

this morning I got to have the chocolate cupcake that I didn’t have last night…

it went very well with my new purple and blue mug;-)… and was tasty… just read an article saying chocolate cake in the morning is good for you…

at the end of the day got this shot of the clouds…

lovely to look at, and maybe, the first blue sky we’ve seen all day…

I’ve just taken this shot of the moon and deep blue sky over the neighbour’s house… I was expecting a better quality picture because of the newer phone, but maybe I  need to do a bit of reading on this…

the sky has been very interesting over the last few days…

yesterday as I was waiting for my ride to aquasize got this shot…

it looked really bad but there wasn’t any rain coming down when we got out of the pool…

we could use some rain to clean up the dust but I would prefer that it rain during the night, lol…

today I caught a few pictures of some cool looking clouds as I made my way home…

now the sky is a beautiful blue without a cloud in sight…

yesterday morning I had a bit of fun taking pictures of the sun rising in the sky…

this is what it looked like at 7:24 as the sun was just peeking out through the trees…

then this as 7:49…

this was the last of the series that I took, at 9:09…

so beautiful and such a change when you look out the window at different times…

it was out for most of the day and even though it was cold and windy it felt great…

that bit of extra light and bright sky makes such a difference in my mood…

chuckle…

the sky was absolutely stunning this morning on my drive to work… from the moment I turned east until I turned into the parking lot it kept changing…

from pink and gold to blue and mauve the entire time… didn’t have a good spot anywhere along the way to take a picture and I don’t think I could have taken one that would show the actual beauty…

it was a lovely start to Friday…

I’ve been giggling since I got home and discovered that the reason the love sign in the window hasn’t looked right is the fact that the o was backwards…

was a great chuckle for me and a good start to the long weekend…

lovely…

just yesterday I was heading to the office after an appointment and was enjoying the absolutely beautiful sky… it was a gorgeous blue and had some lovely clouds which were pink from the morning sunlight…

of course I didn’t get a picture but enjoyed every moment as I drove toward downtown…

did get this shot of my scarf as I was sitting in the waiting room…

love this dragonfly…

later in the day as I was driving home another beautiful sky was visible… for many nights recently I have been going home in the dark so it was quite a moment to see a second lovely sky… and again I enjoyed it even without photos, lol…

I do miss riding with my buddies which gave me ample opportunities to take pictures…

also enjoyed the sweet view of my bedroom as I got ready for bed…

those special moments make the day;-)…

was anticipating a quiet day but it didn’t turn out that way… did take a few pictures of the gorgeous snow…

worked on a project and then headed out to meet my kids…

we met up at IKEA, did a little shopping and then headed to Moxie’s for lunch… a wander through Rona and then I headed toward home as they went off to a soccer game…

stopped at Superstore to pick up a few groceries and some clothes jumped into my cart…

couple of pairs of leggings and three long-sleeve tops… with the cold weather haven’t seemed to have enough warm things for work…

bit of a nap and then I made Lemon Chicken and Rosemary Pappardelle from my ChefsPlate box…

the sky was beautiful again tonight…

finished work on the project and watched a bit of tv…

off to clean up from supper…

drive…

some wonderful moments today…

the sky was stunning as I headed downtown… there were a few clouds but the light on them was just beautiful… having to drive means I often don’t get the pictures I would like…

I took in a box of children’s books that had been hanging around the house and watched with delight as three colleagues found treats to take home for their little people…

as I was driving down a street in Charleswood tonight I came across a deer in a yard just quietly standing there…

ended the night with purple hair…

hasn’t had any purple in it for weeks so it was a wonderful treat to have it back…
