big girl pants, Canada Day, day 3, fireworks, fun, garden, grandsons, rain, sky, walk, weather, widow, WWTB

last night we did stay up and walk over to the the track behind the Library to watch the fireworks… it was a beautiful night and a great show…

this morning we slept in… well I was awake, but stayed in bed so the boys could get their sleep…

once up, and after breakfast, we spent some time in the garden… did some watering, trimming and relaxing… tv watching, video game playing, and possibly some napping was how we spent most of the day, with a bit of time outside playing with the football…

around four we packed a bag and walked over to the Children’s Playground at the Park…

there were a lot of people enjoying Canada Day festivities…. we caught a few Pokémon and then started home when the thunder and lightning started… part way home the rain poured down… we decided to pick up pizza and walked fast…

once we arrived home we took off our wet jackets, hats, shoes and the backpack and had the pizza… thankfully, the box had not quite disintegrated…

FaceTimed with mommy and watched some tv…

hopefulness…

beloved, big girl pants, Canadian Museum for Human Rights, dove, flowers, hope, hopefulness, orchid, photos, sky, special, threatening, widow

always amazes me how some of the best photos happen…

I’ve been trying to get a great shot of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights for ages… when I am near it, I am either driving, in a car and going too quickly, or else something just isn’t right when I am walking in the area…

I have taken many photos of the building but nothing particularly good…

last night I was the passenger in a car as we went past and took a number of shots… cars and people kept interrupting a good shot, but when I checked my photos I found this great one…

I think the threatening sky had something to do with it…

the lighting in the Museum helped too…

earlier I had taken a very quick shot of an orchid that I walked past…

it came out nicely as well…

I often see a dove in close ups of orchids and they always remind me of hopefulness and my beloved…

kind of fun to have good shots of CMHR and an orchid taken so close together… both of which are such signs of hope…

a memorable photo day;-)…

amethyst, beautiful, big girl pants, designer, happy, office, omelette, Rice Krispie, sky, space, streaming, weekend, widow

the sky was absolutely amazing this morning…

I took these pictures between 6:07 and 7:15 am…

the sunrise was spectacular… on the drive downtown the sunlight was streaming through the clouds… not a single red light all the way to the office… and by the time I got there the clouds had filled the sky…

just before I left the office for the weekend, I got a photo of my amethysts… today we heard a designer talk about the importance of feeling good in your workspace and as I get used to my office I do enjoy all of the bits and pieces that make it mine and make me feel happy…

once I arrived home I took a picture of a piece of the Rice Krispie cake that my sweet colleague brought me this afternoon…

was so busy getting ready to leave the house early this morning that I forgot to take something out for dinner, but made a veggie omelette… it was tasty…

and now for a four day weekend;-)…

good…

big girl pants, eating, friend, good, grass, rake, sky, supper, widow

feeling as though I haven’t been eating properly… so tonight I baked a chicken leg and thigh, with eggplant slices, and sweet potatoes… and made a cucumber and onion salad…

was rather pleased with myself… and it was very good…

after supper I peeked outside and saw this lovely sky…

not long before that the sky had been gray and rain had been falling… nice change…

very happy that a young friend had come by on Monday and raked the yard for me… still lots to do, including putting the six bags of leaves out for pick-up…

a bit of rain would certainly be good for the grass and the plants…

big girl pants, clouds, dirty, pictures, sky, toss, warmer, widow

as we were driving home tonight the clouds were very cool looking…

leaving the office it looked as though we were going to be in for a snowstorm… very dark gray… but above those, there were gorgeous white lines against the blue sky…

once I got home, took some shots out the front…

the first pictures were through the living room window… had to toss all of them and retake the shots out the front door because the window is so dirty… gonna have to clean that, lol…

getting lighter and feeling warmer each day… this makes me happy…

sleep…

anxious, beloved, big girl pants, garden, hot tub, memories, moments, photos, sky, sleep, snow, stressed, sun, sunset, widow

have been feeling stressed for the last few days… wasn’t until Facebook reminded me this morning that it has been five years and eight months since my beloved left me that I put two and two together…

had the worst sleep – or lack thereof – last night… was anxious and couldn’t settle down…

now that I know what the stressor is likely I can settle down… that’s what usually happens anyway…

finally had a hot tub this morning… been having some issues with the temperature dropping so plan to have someone out to give it a look… but this morning it was at just the correct temp…

had to climb through the snow to get there, lol…

at one point during the day the sun came out and shone brightly in the garden and I got this pic…

sun and shadow are so beautiful…

later on the sunset was lovely…

hoping for a better night’s sleep…

big girl pants, cape, halloween, photos, place, pumpkins, sky, treadmill, widow, witch’s hat

no time to walk on the treadmill this morning as I had to get the pumpkins in place on the steps and bring up a couple of inside pumpkins from the basement…

it was still dark, but sort of looked the same as they did this evening…

got a nice shot of the front of the house as I was leaving… the orange looks great with the purple and gray…

at the end of the street I stopped and got a picture of the stunning sky… happy that I was in a place where I could stop and take the picture…

often when I see one of these beauties there is nowhere to pull over and the shot doesn’t get taken…

I took my cape and hat to the office and on a break did a little walk about… a colleague got this picture which is just how I looked as I handed out treats tonight;-)…

had over thirty kids and almost ran out of goodies… excellent outcome…

happy halloween…

selfies…

dim sum, family, fun, grandsons, memories, photos, pictures, selfies, sky

been a busy day…

it started with views of the beautiful sky out the window… a bit later met the kids for family photos… what fun we had…

started out pretty chilly but by the end it was beautiful… sun was shining and it was lovely and warm…

got a few selfies with the kids…

as we were leaving, spotted the skeleton arriving, lol…

then it was on to dim sum… while we were eating my daughter mentioned that it was nearly four years to the day when we took pictures with Jamie Noordman Photography at a dog park… laughed about some of the antics from that day and how much better our shoot went today…

son-in-law and I went to Costco for a few things and then I headed home…

the sky at the end of the day was easily as spectacular as the morning…
