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…

couple of surprises this morning…

as I was searching for a pair of gloves I brought down a basket from the front entryway… was surprised to find a bunch of ladybugs behind it… not sure what I need to do about this…

of course I had to climb down off the chair, find my phone, and then climb back up to take pictures, lol… I don’t mind ladybugs, not like spiders… from a bit of research it appears that dark warm high places are just what they like to hibernate…

happily I did find the gloves which was great because when I looked outside the ground was covered with snow…

maybe Fall is over…

fun day…

took numerous pictures of the snow outside this morning… pretty, if somewhat surprising…

then my daughter came by and we went shopping… picked up some seeds and a container to plant them in… then we checked out a few stores and I found a few plates and a lovely tray… have already used it twice… for supper and for an evening snack…

home for a nap and then my sleepover buddies arrived…

colouring (in adult colouring books, because he is way beyond kid books), electronic games, tv, hot tubbing and chocolate milkshakes before bed…

hope they go to sleep soon… 

all that fun has made for a long day and I am tired, lol…

on my way home tonight stopped by the creek to get a shot of the high water/ice…

noticing more and more each day how quickly the snow is melting away… makes me happy…

before too long I’ll be sitting on the back deck by the pond…

enjoying the hyacinth which is blooming so nicely…

sadly I can barely smell it’s beautiful perfume… my cold is giving me a run for my money, lol…

and I was very pleased to discover the purple Superstore boxes that my kids dropped off today… I traded some green ones…

little things continue to make me happy…

farewell Mazatlan…

today we were up very early…

we had our luggage down to the lobby before six and waited for the bus to take us to the airport…

while we waited the sun rose… enjoyed the beauty one last time…

we rode the bus through the city which was nice as we had gone around it when we arrived…

when we got to the airport we had breakfast and then waited as our flight was delayed… thank goodness for technology, lol…

after a long flight we arrived home… as we were landing planes were taking people to other vacations…

after a taxi home, the kids discovered the battery on their vehicle was dead… luckily a friend was close by and they were able to boost it and head home…

lots of snow has melted away and looking forward to the rest of it disappearing soon…

been a wonderful time away but I am happy to be in my own home once again…

had to run across to CityPlace this morning and I caught the income tax mascot having a rest…

so cute…

as I left the office – for the next ten days – it was raining… the good part about that is that maybe most of the snow will melt away…

sure hope there’s going to be sunshine where I land…

always a bit of a marathon to get everything done and the space ready for someone else to use while you are away…

now to finish packing my carry on/purse…

overcast…

lovely sky this morning, even with the overcast…

that is the sun in the trees…a bit later it started to snow and it snowed for three or four hours…

picked up by my kids and went to their place to celebrate the eight year old’s birthday…

they showed me their shark, that they got for Christmas, after they topped up the helium…

ready for cake… it looked delicious and the birthday boy was happy…

got very quiet as everyone was gobbling it up…

home soon and then to bed…

this is so not how I wanted to end a very long day…

been outside and cleaned out the pipe, but the furnace is not happy…

waiting for a call back from the service people… 

hope I get to bed before tomorrow’s very early start;-(…

have now spoken with the furnace doctor who said it should be fine as the heat has started to come through… apparently all the blowing snow has caused lots of problems… 

even if the furnace stops working in the morning it shouldn’t get much below 55 by the end of the day…

good news, I guess…

supper…

was supposed to meet with my ReImagining friends tonight for supper and conversation…

when I left the office the snow was coming down like crazy… I started across town but then decided the weather was too miserable to make the trip…

headed home and got a few shots of the snow coming down when I drove into the garage…

found some leftovers for my supper and am going to have a nap…
