cold, juice, morning glories, sky, still, strawberry

this morning it was warmer out and the morning glories were trying to open…

IMG_8245.JPGwhen I looked up the clouds in the sky were like a picture…

IMG_8246.JPGas the day went on I felt less and less well… by the time I left the office my throat was very sore and I was coughing more…

I am still sick with this cold and decided to head right to bed…

IMG_8249.JPGphone seemed to ring off the hook, but eventually the calls stopped… made some orange and strawberry juice which usually makes me feel better…

really need to shake this…

look…

geese, look, morning glories, sky

this morning I was taking a picture of the morning glories… I can’t really go past them without checking to see how many are blooming…

IMG_8181.JPGthis one was particularly beautiful as it looks like the light is glowing from the centre…

IMG_8180.JPGheard the geese and looked up to see them flying by the trees… such a beautiful sight and sound…

IMG_8182.JPGas I drove to work the sky was quite amazing and I was able to get a picture at a stop light…

lovely what you see if you take the time to look…

Grand Forks, home, on the road, sky, sunset, treasures, wind mills

finally home after a busy and fun weekend with the kids in the States…

we got up around nine this morning and after breakfast went for the last visit to the water park… it is lovely to watch how the boys spend time together as well as separately in the water…

final fun in the water park...

final fun in the water park…

then we packed up all of our stuff and headed to Grand Forks… visited three or four stores… had tacos for lunch and a very lovely dinner at a great steak house the kids had been to before… final few items picked up, and we were on the road home…

the sky was lovely…

clouds on our drive home...

the final purchase had been a few movies for the trip home…

"watching" a movie...

happily we breezed through the border and drove past the wind mills (turbines) as the sun was setting… sadly the car windows were covered in bugs again, but I was able to get a few good shots…

big girl pants, clouds, hibiscus, rain, sky, tri-colour

tonight, on my way home, the sky had some frightening looking clouds…

was finally able to get a picture part way home, although by then they weren’t quite as horrible looking… this was about 4:20…

20140707-211844-76724187.jpgmade it in the door about three minutes before the torrential rain began… only lasted for a few minutes..

20140707-211957-76797488.jpghard to see it coming down but the pavement was completely wet in a very short time…

it is beautiful now…

20140707-212239-76959771.jpgforgot that the hibiscus is a tri-colour… the last flowers were reddish orange… the next bloom looks like it is going to be yellow…

20140707-212706-77226356.jpgthat’s pretty cool…

surprise…

big girl pants, cushions, sky, surprise, tinkering

this morning I got a wonderful surprise when my son-in-law sent me this picture…

20140530-215051-78651691.jpghe had come over and built this shelf for my cushions… I am very happy to be able to access them… they used to be on the other side of the garage, which worked fine because George always had the car out in the driveway so he could tinker in there… I, as it happens, don’t do tinkering, lol…

worked great tonight when I sat outside for a couple of hours… the waterfall is back on, although I am not thrilled with the water flow, but I will watch it for a few days to see if it improves…

was able to make it to a soccer game tonight and got this great shot of the sky…

20140530-220318-79398903.jpgwonderful Friday evening…

big girl pants, colours, Mexico, Olympics, pictures, precious, sky, suoper

lovely day…

sun shone and the wind blew… watched the last of the Olympics and organized supper… finally Jeff and I got our ham fix…

after dinner my youngest grandson and I sat on the couch and watched the beautiful sky…

we saw blue and pink and purple and gray and at one point even some green…

then we looked at pictures from our trip to Mexico and read an abc book where he pointed out the letters that make up his name and finger-drew them for me…

precious…

300 posts, getting darker, life partner, loss, sky

this is the 300th post to my blog…

wow… quite amazing really… started out wanting to share my story with others who have lost a life partner… the difficult days and the not so difficult… letting others know that you aren’t alone in what you are feeling… not sure I have connected with those people particularly, but quite a few people seem to appreciate my posts so I continue…

clouds through the trees...

this morning the sky was very lovely and I took a few photos… the colour isn’t exactly right, but it is what the camera caught…

clouds from the deck...

have been noticing that it is much darker in the morning now… since the beginning of the week it has been very noticeable…  having to turn on a light to get dressed…

sky from the car mid morning...

ran out with a colleague to do an errand and caught the view above… the sun shone for the remainder of the day and it rained a bit just before I got home…

enjoy time in the garden, five morning glories, garden, pond, sky, too hot

tonight, after supper and a nap, I headed into the garden to take a few pictures of the opened up area of the pond…

waterfall after the fix...

apparently, while I was napping, my pond guy came by and put it all back together… looks good… now we will have to see if the leak is fixed…

the sky was beautiful and I took a quick pic…

gorgeous sky this evening...

tomorrow morning I will add water to the pond to top it up when I water all the plants…

this morning I got up, dressed and went out and watered everything… it is just too hot to do it at night when I get home…

some of this morning's purple morning glories...

there were five morning glory blooms this morning… and it looks like there will be a number tomorrow morning as well…

closing up and opening...

I do enjoy time in the garden… a lovely way to start and end the day…
