the lawn didn’t get mowed last Sunday because the grass hadn’t grown much, and this Sunday because it rained most of the day…

my friends were coming over yesterday afternoon so I decided to mow and whipper snip the garden… I waited until just before noon to give it more time to dry out…

moved a chair and some tables and then figured out how to get the mower going (been a while since I used it)… there are many things in the garden so it takes a bit of effort to get around them, even though it is a small space…

once that was done I pulled down the whipper snipper, found the battery, attached it, and went around all the edges… apparently, at some point I should have tapped it on the ground to extend the line that does the cutting…

I was rather pleased with the result, and then put the furniture back…

just before I brought out the cushions, it started to rain😣…

so we met in the house, lol…

beautiful, beloved, big girl pants, camping, family, friends, internet service, LTE, memories, moments, nature, Opapiskaw, path, pink rocks, Sunday, widow

another beautiful day in paradise…

early this morning I walked down to the beach and got a few great pictures…

in an effort to find a good internet connection I walked down a very narrow trail to get to a spot where there was LTE service…

the trail brought back so many memories… all the years we camped at Falcon and Birds Hill and went on many hikes along trails that were just like this one…

at the end of the trail were some pretty rocks which I clearly am not going to be able to take home, sigh…

there are many poplars here and the sound of the wind blowing through them is also a reminder of camping in Birds Hill with friends…

missing my beloved… he would have loved this…

baby snuggles, clouds, hot tub, sky, Sunday

early morning hot tubs are becoming a Sunday pattern…

this morning I took out my phone and took a few pictures right from the tub…

IMG_8997.JPGit was lovely… for the first five minutes the jets weren’t going so I could hear the quiet and watch the squirrel make his rounds to collect peanuts…

ran out to do a few errands and picked up a pastry for my lunch… it was delicious…

IMG_8999.JPGthe sky was beautiful…

IMG_8998.JPGsun shone for the majority of the day although the clouds filled the sky in the early evening but it didn’t rain, so that was good…

a young friend stopped by so that I could get some baby snuggles… she has twins, but only brought the little guy… the little girl had gone out with her daddy…

IMG_9001.JPGnothing like baby snuggles to make your day… it was great fun to watch the boys take turns holding him as well…

good times…

digging…

digging, goldfinches, planting, purple finches, reading, slept out under the stars, sparrows, Sunday, visitors, watching birds and bees

slept out under the stars and enjoyed watching the moon move through the sky as the night progressed…

bed for the night under the stars...

bed for the night under the stars…

then spent Sunday planting, reading and watching all the visitors who came by…

before I started planting...

before I started planting…

took a few shots of the landscape before making all the changes…

decided I liked where the plants were sitting and started to get them into the ground…

after planting...

after planting…

worked on one or two and then took a break, to read and watch the various flying friends who stopped by…

behind the waterfall...

behind the waterfall…

there were goldfinches and purple finches and lots of sparrows of various sorts… there were bees and wasps and a couple of butterflies and dragonflies…

once the planting was done I tidied up the bench which had been covered with pots during the construction…

then I took it easy… lots of work, but was very happy with the results… looks much better now…
