it was very cold this morning 🥶…

it looked beautiful outside with everything covered in fresh snow…

I waited until around 10 to go out and blow the snow off the front steps and sidewalk so that it would be clear for the mail carrier…

today, I did not clear a path through the grass to the neighbours’ house… it was too cold;-(…

the sun was shining, but the wind kept blowing the snow back up at me, covering my leggings, my jacket, and my boots…

I was happy that I’d left my glasses in the house as my face also received a lot of blowing snow on it, lol…

I do believe that winter has arrived… even if it isn’t December 21st… feels like the sundogs are showing it;-)…

duplicates…

big girl pants, computer, duplicates, followers, memories, photos, sun dogs, widow

this morning I spent time using the new computer…

the pictures are all in one folder which I have started to go through looking for duplicates… so happy they are all in the same place… I used to have to go searching through a number of drives to find some of them…

while I was sorting out various bookmarks I noticed that I now have 300 followers… this is much more visible viewed on the computer… kind of giggled because the number has been hovering just under for quite some time…

also, I’ve noticed many people or organizations celebrating ten or fifteen thousand followers… makes my 300 seem rather inconsequential…

but it made me happy…

shortly before that I had watched beautiful sun dogs out the back… first ones I’ve seen this season…

smiling…

beloved, big girl pants, flower therapy, healing, in the moment, joy, music, sadness, smiling, sun dogs, sunflower, widow

this morning the Flower Therapy card that I selected was a sunflower and advised that smiling was healing and made you feel better…

I often bop around in the car as I drive to and from work listening to the radio and dancing along with the music… it makes me smile as I wonder what the people in the other cars are thinking…

as I was heading home my joy ornament was glittering in the sunlight….

brought a smile to my face…

and that was right after driving towards the very bright sun dogs in the sky…

there was lots to smile about today… and it did make me feel better…

as the date of my beloved’s passing looms closer I am trying to give myself the space to be in the moment and let the sadness come and go as needed…

exhausted…

big girl pants, comfort food, exhausted, moon, orchid, sun dogs

last night I was so tired that I fell asleep and forgot to write a post…

on my way to work in the morning it was a bit foggy but beautiful sun dogs were my company on the drive… my phone was in the back of the car so I never did get a picture of them…

had fun taking a shot of the orchid against the picture on the wall… not exactly what I had I mind, but it was entertaining to try…

moon will be full in a few days…

took this tonight on my way down the stairs…

made one of my favourite comfort foods for dinner… not sure how well it fit into my new eating plan… canned salmon with sliced potatoes in a white sauce… added mushrooms and water chestnuts and used a very small amount of the sauce… usually the potatoes would be pan fried in butter but I used a tiny bit of avocado oil and steamed them to finish… liked the crunch of the water chestnuts a lot…

heading to bed…

quiet…

Best Buy, big girl pants, going hoe, quiet, sun dogs

was busy today… dropped Cyndi off to meet a friend for breakfast and we went to Best Buy to pick up a new printer because mine called it quits yesterday… perfect timing as Ron was here to help pick one out and get it all set up…

sun dogs this morning...

sun dogs this morning…

got a few great pictures of the sun dogs which were spectacular in the crisp morning air…

now I can print from the desktop, the laptop and even my phone… woo hoo…

we went for one last breakfast at “the A” before I went to pick up Cyndi… after a few errands we got home, made cookies, had a short nap and they packed up all their stuff…

stuffing the bags with all their goodies...

also got a few photos of their Jets gear, lol…

front and back of their jackets...

a quick early supper and some final visiting, and then off to drop them for their trip home…

came home to a very quiet house, tidied up and visited with two friends…

now off to bed… looking forward to a couple of quiet days before heading back to work…
