today I woke to this view of the sky…

and a bit later I took this photo of the front yard to show someone how much snow was on the ground…

a tiny bit of snow had fallen yesterday and overnight and we are waiting for a storm tonight so I expect there will be more to shovel tomorrow…

I spent five glorious days with friends’ at their beach cottage…

the first thing I always do is jump out of the car and run down to be sure the beach and lake are still there, lol…

what a wonderful time it was… delicious food (that I didn’t have to prepare); wonderful conversations, stories, and laughter; listening to birds and the waves; lots of time on the beach and in the water; relaxing, reading and sleeping…

what more could you ask for;-)… I am restored…

such a gift…

and then…

yesterday there was fresh fluffy snow covering the ground… it also dusted the wreath at the front door…

the sidewalk always looks so beautiful under a fresh snowfall… more so if you don’t need to walk out there…

this morning the icicles were shining in the sunlight as I left the house and then a bit later I spotted this deer as I was out and about…

the sun shining all day was a wonderful bonus;-)…

the sky has been doing some quite lovely things…

last night I got a great shot out the front window and the daylight this morning was amazing…

the colours came out exactly as I saw them… that doesn’t always happen…

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…

I was up before the alarm… and saw this lovely view out the stairwell window as the sun was rising…

as I turned my head I spotted this squirrel that was clearly overseeing its empire…

just like I was, lol…

airplane, big girl pants, family, flight, home, luggage, returning, sunrise, trip, widow

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…
