big girl pants, dahlia, garden, hummingbird, light, morning glory, sad, storm, weekend

early this morning I was forced to turn on lights because it was dark, sigh… as I was getting ready for work, thunder and lightning were filling the sky…

  
a few minutes before I had to leave, I ran outside and got this picture of the morning glory blossoms…

  
apparently the storm did a number on them…

got a nice picture of the dahlia… been thinking I might cut them and bring them into the house… so beautiful…

  
after work sat outside and was checking my phone when something crossed my vision and hovered in front of the basket of flowers just four feet from me… took a few seconds to realize what it was… a tiny hummingbird… it moved and hovered over the hot tub for another few seconds before flying off… needed to go in and finish dinner, but couldn’t leave the chair in case it came back…

  
finished off the day with a light ice cream cupcake… it’s been in the freezer for a couple of weeks and really felt like I needed to get it out of there…

ten to nine and it is dark…

going to have to take my SAD light to the office next week and start turning it on…

but, it is the weekend and I am going to enjoy every minute of it…

storm…

big girl pants, eggplant, garden, mandevilla, rain, rainbow, storm

am dripping wet right now…

  
hard to see but there is a rainbow in this picture… this is what it looked like after I ran out in the pouring rain and put away all the cushions… first time they have been soaked, sigh… should have put them away before supper…

the day had been perfect up till the storm…

  
fish were out and about…

  
watered all the planters and baskets and they are doing well…

  
found a small tomato…

  
couple of green peppers…

  
and an eggplant… woo hoo…

  
mandevilla is ready to open…

  
and the million bells basket is beautiful…

the rain has ended but the thunder is still rolling… 

ready…

big girl pants, Ottawa, packed, ready, storm

tonight the sky turned dark and the wind blew like crazy…

eventually it blew the storm right past us…

IMG_7429.JPGthe sun shone through the clouds and the light in the front and back was beautiful…

IMG_7430.JPGthe kids came over, mowed and whipper snipped the front yard, which looked as though the house had been abandoned, lol, and then we had supper before they headed home…

my nine year old grandson stayed behind… we had a fun time in the hot tub, found markers and colouring books, and cards for his backpack and he has headed to bed…

my suitcase and carry on are packed and we are ready to go…

IMG_7431.JPGtaxi is picking us up at 6:15 and we will be on our way to Ottawa to visit Cyndi and Ron…

big girl pants, fish, nature, open window, rain, storm, thunderstorm

had quite the thunderstorm tonight…

the clouds filled the sky before the rain came…

20140718-214136-78096495.jpgonly came down for maybe ten minutes but there was a lot of it and it was coming from the south… usually a bad sign for the basement…

once it stopped I ran down and checked and everything was dry… yay…

been giggling off and on throughout the day… middle of the night I opened the window

20140718-214557-78357111.jpgwasn’t till this morning that I realized I had taken the screen off to get some pictures and hadn’t put it back on… amazingly there were very few bugs in the house…

the fish seemed hungry this morning so I put out some food before leaving for work… they were happy…

barbecue, flowers, fresh veggies, lovely day, market, moon, more nature, quiet morning, Shelmerdine, star filled sky, storm

had a quiet morning around the house… actually put away all the glass balls from the Champagne Bubble Party…

we had a storm which started with lots of thunder and then the sky opened and it poured for maybe ten minutes… watched some TV and made myself a few things to eat…

waiting to move the car seat...

waiting to move the car seat…

then Crystal and the little boys came, transferred the car seat to my car and we went for a wander through Shelmerdine’s where we enjoyed some fall flowers and checked out mulch and many pumpkins… came across a colleague who looked stunning, having just been to a wedding out that way…

there weren’t very many folks around so the little people ran about checking out all the pumpkins and the trees and bushes…

we went to the market garden and picked up some lovely fresh veggies… we got corn on the cob, peas, yellow and green beans, green onions, garlic, tiny and medium sized potatoes, cauliflower and radishes…

when we got home we put a little roast on the barbecue and prepared yellow beans, corn, potatoes and a caesar salad for our dinner… it was lovely… sadly the littlest person is going through the no meat phase, although both of his brothers went down that path long before he did… while the roast and potatoes were just finishing the propane ran out on the barbecue so Jeff put a new tank on… should I have the desire to barbecue, there will be fuel, lol…

after supper we read a book and then everyone went home and I had a little nap… when I got up the moon was smiling at me through the tree and I took a couple of pictures…

moon through the tree...

moon through the tree…

since then I have been in the hot tub and enjoyed watching a beautiful star filled sky…

what a lovely day…
