last night my grandson drove me over to the grocery store where we picked up some planters and baskets filled with Christmas greenery and berries…
hard to tell from the photo I took this morning, but the planters have a wooden reindeer head in them… they are quite cute…
the baskets got plopped into two of the planters in front of the living room window…
may have to go back and pick up another couple of the baskets…
waiting for a fancy swag to arrive to hang on the front door from a fundraiser the oldest grandson is participating in…
outside decorating done;-)… although I do have an expert coming and she may have other ideas, lol…
I am laying in my bed listening to the wind whipping a loose piece of siding against the side of the house… it is very loud and seems to be never ending… wondering if I am going to get any sleep tonight…

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…

been so tired lately…
not sure what the deal is, but I arrive home and have a nap before I make supper, and then sleep through the evening before going to bed…
had a conversation recently with someone who appears to be struggling with a similar lethargy…
not sure if it is the weather, time of year or what, but I sure hope it sorts itself out soon;-(…

had a great sleep… yesterday my son-in-law fixed the flapping piece of siding on the house that has been loose for months…
it was amazing how noisy it was… the silence is lovely…
while they were cleaning out the pond, he discovered this little guy at the very bottom…
I am always excited when we come across critters in the garden… hope he hangs around for the summer…
spent the day reading and eating and napping after putting out all the cushions…
moved from chair to lounger to chair throughout the day…
could have just vegged, but went for a walk in the sunshine while my dinner was cooking…
very relaxing day…

last night when I got home the bathroom window looked cool…
the glass blocks were covered in snow on the outside…
not sure if there wasn’t any wind during the night, or whether I was just so exhausted that I didn’t hear the flapping siding… had a good sleep and didn’t even need my Fitbit to tell me that, lol…
woke up with a stuffy head and sore throat, but felt better as the day progressed…
got this shot of the drift in front of the garage as we were leaving for work…
glad I didn’t need to take my own car because it might not have made it through…
am so blessed with my great kids… my son-in-law stopped by on his way home from work at 7 pm to shovel so that I can get out tomorrow…
he did the whole driveway…
even the backyard… so I can get out to the hot tub:-)…
and my grandson has agreed to do the shovelling again this winter… this weekend he is out of town, thus the son-in-law…
well I guess winter has arrived…

the sky was lovely yesterday morning…
luckily I was able to take a few pictures as I was the passenger in the car… the colours were very pretty…
a beautiful sky makes me very happy…
when I got home I slept for an hour while my supper was cooking… then, after I ate, I slept through a number of shows and woke up in time to go to bed… and I slept all night… apparently I was really tired…
this orchid is so gorgeous… makes me smile every time I look at it…

Friday night was supposed to be a great night for the Camelopardalid meteor shower…
it was clear, so I set my alarm to get up at 1:30 am… best time here was supposed to be from 1 to 3…
took a blanket and pillow out and saw one shooting star as I was setting up my spot…
stayed out there for an hour or so without seeing anything… the weather was beautiful and warm so it was cozy…
eventually I decided to have a hot tub, which was lovely, and then went back to bed…
tonight as I was working on this post I found this from the torontosun.com – Not many people got to see the Camelopardalid meteor shower. It was that estimated more than 200 meteors per hour were expected to drop. Unfortunately, only a few meteors spotted during that two-hour time period of the storm.
screenshot from earth.org of where to look…
at least I didn’t sleep through it, lol..
