we spent a short amount of time in the butterfly garden… one of us liked it more than the other…

from there we went to visit the stingrays… what fun that was… not too many visitors so we were able to view them from all around the pool… they feel a bit bumpy on top… stayed there for a long time, lol…

and finally we went for a wagon ride… we were the only passengers;-)… Bob and Tom took us for a nice tour of the area…

ended our visit with ice cream… delicious on such a hot and sunny day…

little bit jealous this afternoon…

walked by the window and noticed this cat laying in the sun on the back deck…

was wishing I could have been there but the yard hasn’t been raked or the furniture moved and cleaned…

and it wasn’t quite warm enough for me to get out there and clean it up…

Maui, day five…

today we went to Ali’i Kula Lavender… we thought it was just a lavender field but it turned out to have a whole lot of flowering plants and trees as well…

had a lovely wander around and took a few photos, lol…

from there we headed over to Maui Chocolate and Coffee Tours at Kupa’a Farms where we had a wonderful visit with Ann and Janet and Gerry… we talked about jewellery and Instagram and then we got to see cacao trees… somebody was very happy…

we saw all kinds of other trees and learned how chocolate is made, followed by a great chocolate tasting…

what a glorious afternoon…

quadrants…

sun shone all day which is great… Saturday is my rest day and I try not to leave the house…

had a fun time changing out the drawer in the living room coffee table…

put away all of the pictures of beautiful Chihuly installations and family photos… brought back some lovely memories of our meeting with him in Seattle… like shaking the hand of a rock star;-)…

pulled out the box filled with sea shells and used them to fill the four quadrants… I remember how excited I was to find this table at IKEA that the shells could go into…

of course, I’ve lost two different batches of shells since then, lol…

but it looks lovely and beach-y...

worked around the house today… never set foot outside…

did a number of loads of laundry, made zucchini basil soup, sorted through the tax file to be sure everything was there, paid bills online and watched skiing and skating on tv…

when I looked out the back, spotted the bunny… haven’t seen her for a few weeks…

when I looked out the front, got a lovely shot of the sun behind clouds…

snow is melting, even without much sunshine… woo hoo…

have decided that it needs to be Spring…

bought this cute little crocus plant and am enjoying watching the blooms open…

the sun is shining out there and it feels like Spring… in the house, lol…

except that the temperature is minus 34…

picked up a few Spring-y tops on Friday…

maybe if we imagine it enough, it will come sooner;-)…

sunshine and clouds…

Saturday the sun was shining down on the planters in the front yard and there were diamonds glittering… lovely dome of snow, which reminded me of a giant ice cream cone…

a bit later I caught this sundog… not very big but always such fun to spot… as I was driving downtown this morning there was a huge one, but I couldn’t stop to take a photo…

Sunday the clouds were very fluffy as I took this picture…

today was my first Friday back in the office since May…

started the day with a visit to the dentist’s office… have lovely clean teeth now…

dressed casual to ease back into being in the office on a Friday, lol… and brought a snack for everyone… it was the leftover trail mix from Thanksgiving dinner… I had picked up a number of bulk seeds, nuts and smarties and mixed them together… came out great and everyone loved it…

on my lunch break I went for a walk in the sunshine and checked out some cameras… still looking for just the right one to replace my Nikon…

a few pretty plants out there although they were looking a bit rough around the edges close up…

rummaged…

odd weather today… went from cloudy to sunny, to rainy, and back again a number of times… ended with sun shining through the clouds…

the poor morning glories took a beating early on… nearly every time it rained the drops were huge…

thinking of my dad today as I took hours to make fresh tomato sauce to go with some spaghetti for supper… I keep buying grape tomatoes to make caprese salad and then never use them all up… he would add all kinds of condiments to add flavour and it always ended up delicious… as I rummaged through the cupboard, I remembered watching him do the same thing, lol…

it turned out great and was a lovely treat as I don’t often have pasta… made some homemade coleslaw to go along with it and have a bit of both for lunch tomorrow;-)…
