had some fun taking photos of the moon setting and the sun rising…
ran back and forth from the front of the house, to the back to get the pictures…
amongst all the back and forth-ing, I also caught a shot of a plane and a bunny…
just a few days before that, I’d tried to get a shot of the full moon as it was setting, but clouds got in my way…

started my day at 5:15 and got this photo of the sunrise… it really shows the colour perfectly… within an hour it was overcast… lucky to have been up to see it…
a bit later I went out to take a photo of the hibiscus… it suffered greatly when it moved outside and finally has some flowers starting… and while I was there the purple finch popped over to the feeder;-)…
nearly late for my ride because I didn’t want to stop watching the finch flit to and from the feeder…
Wednesday our CSA box portions arrive… we’ve divided it into four portions which is working perfectly…
tonight I made a smoothie with the strawberries and plan on eating the peas and carrots tomorrow… and the purple pepper is gorgeous;-)…
another great day…

at the airport in Kahului by eight pm…
returned the car, after driving around the airport a few times, lol..
waited with many others for the check-in to open… then discovered that both of our checked bags were overweight so had to reorganize right there at the front of the line…
got on our plane just before midnight and my daughter got this shot of the sunrise…
and then as the day progressed we got a few different pictures out the airplane windows…
landed in Vancouver, went through customs and were driven by shuttle to the connecting gate… just got there in time for our flight to Winnipeg…
arrived just before 2, glad to be home… my daughter hopped back on a plane around six pm and after a stopover in Toronto will be home after midnight…
been one long day… gonna get some rest… good to be home…

beautiful, beloved, big girl pants, grandma, groceries, Maui day two, memories, moments, rain, rainbows, relaxing, shopping, sunrise, walk, widow
we went to bed early last night because we were exhausted…
this morning we woke up twenty minutes before the sunrise… so we dressed quickly, and headed out to an iron bench on the property…
it was cool and very windy but we had fun watching ships and outrigger canoes as well as the sun shining on the clouds, lol…
we came in just as it began to rain… and then we saw five rainbows, one after the other, moving across the sky…
we took it gently and went to Whole Foods for snacks and breakfast items over the next week… always fun to see what items are available at the store in different countries… fresh juice and the view…
lunch and off to Paia… we wandered the town, saw surfers and large waves, tried mahi-mahi and had a quiet drive back…
we stopped for some avocado toast and packaged up a bit of salt for the eggs we picked up earlier… reminded both of us of George’s mom always slipping any excess jam or ketchup or whatever into her bag when we took a trip to the east coast many years ago, lol…

such a beautiful start to the day…
the sky was gorgeous, the flowers were blooming… and it was warm… although there was just a skiff of snow on the ground…
amazing how fast we can forget the cold weather…
tonight it was great to see the solar lights coming on… in the garden they are shining through the snow…
more signs of Spring…

woke up early this morning and enjoyed some lovely sky-watching…
saw the most interesting light pillar… not long ago many photographers in the province had noted multiple columns in the sky, so I was excited to have spotted it…
the moon was visible out my bedroom window… and then there was a lovely sunrise…
spectacular way to start the day…

big girl pants, bushes, butterfly bush, flowers, garden, hot tub, planting, pond, reading, resting, sunrise, weeding, widow
spent the day in the garden… was up early with a quiet hot tub as the sun rose…
did quite a bit of weeding in amongst watering, reading and resting… took a number of photos along the way… always nice at the end of the day to remember what it looked like at the beginning;-)…
planted some butterfly bushes although they don’t really look very lively and potted up the last of the plants I’d bought recently… I was very happy when I came across the bushes because they are difficult to find as they are annuals here, not perennials, which is what the packaging always says…
had all three meals in the garden with a short nap in the house…
enjoyed the time out there, even the weeding…

big girl pants, early mornings, late nights, live, Olympics, repeat, sunrise, sunset, tv, widow
lots of early mornings and late nights as I watch as much of the Olympics live as possible…
either stay awake until midnight or fall asleep during some of the sports I care less about… the tv stays on and I surface about four to watch some of the early events before work…
not much happens during our day so that is working well…
check the tv when I get home while supper is cooking, in case I missed anything… watch until I fall asleep…
and repeat;-)…
great news is I’ve been enjoying the sunrise most mornings, and tonight the sky was beautiful as the sun went down…
and the temperature had risen very nicely throughout the day…

lots of beauty last Friday…
caught the sunrise out the bedroom window… frigid out there but it looked beautiful…
took a nice shot of it out the patio door a bit later…
finally got a shot of a sun dog… which once again demonstrated how cold it was…
we were out and about and as we returned home got this lovely shot of a bit of hoarfrost on the Virginia creeper…
haven’t seen much hoarfrost this winter…
the kids have returned home now but this is a lovely memory of our time together…
