hurray, its Friday… very happy about this… been a long week…

sunshine started early…

this morning I finished planting the morning glories and moon flowers…

excited to see if I will get blossoms earlier than usual this year…

was bright and sunny the whole day and the temperature was 12 degrees when I was heading home… so nice to be a bit warmer…

made Japanese Ginger Pork Burgers with Bok Choy  and carrot salad for dinner… instead of the brioche bun, used romaine lettuce… how good am I;-)…

tasty and healthy…

hoping for warm and sunny days over the weekend…

wishing you sunshine and rest…

cool…

big girl pants, friend, inscription, moments, pen, purple, sun, sunshine, widow

this morning I used my new pen to write the inscription in a book that I had purchased as a gift…

got it from a dear friend last week…

writes very nicely and is a beautiful shade of purple…

spoke with her this morning to check on how she is doing… lovely to take a few minutes to catch up with a friend…

all day long, whenever I walked around the office, I would comment to everyone about how wonderful the sun shining through the windows was…

we haven’t had sunshine for weeks as it has been dull and overcast so it was great to see it…

so busy that I never did get a picture, but I sure enjoyed those moments…

what a glorious day… watched tv and tidied the house during the morning…

enjoyed some excellent meals…

had a lovely wander around the garden and got some great shots of the flowers in the sunshine… it got up to 17 this afternoon… amazing…

the alyssum are still blooming like crazy and so happy… I cannot pull them…

the lobelia, creeping bellflower and jolly jump-ups were all showing off their purpleness… 

then I read and listened to music all afternoon…

just what I needed after my busy week…

happy…

Bob and Tom who took us on a wagon ride at the Zoo… they are so cute…

sun and shadows on a wonderful walk through Bruce Park, while I was getting poke balls at PokeStops…

a pile of flower petals in the English Garden…

a stunning purple water lily in the lily pond at the Leo Mol Garden…

big girl pants, bliss, camping, camping day 4, electricity, family, hissy fit, internet, packed, Rainbow Falls, sleep-in, sunshine, Technology, widow, wind

busy day today…

didn’t get up till 7… big sleep-in for me…

then we had pancakes with freshly picked blueberries and bacon… make a bacon sandwich with mine, thanks to my son-in-law’s suggestion;-)…


saw this cute little mushroom which popped up overnight…


then, as the sky clouded over, everyone helped with the packing up and there wasn’t a single hissy fit…

we had a leisurely drive toward our next destination and stopped at Rainbow Falls… pretty, and likely beautiful in the sunshine… wasn’t any when we were there, the wind was blowing, and there was a bit of spitting…


back into the caravan and we moved on… found the campground and our spot… happily no one was in it so we could unload and put up the tents… 


the site is right on the water, without electricity, and the wind was crazy strong… took four of us to get the cover on one of the tents, lol… upside, there haven’t been any mosquitoes… we have a second spot across the road which does have electricity so we can charge  the various technology, and also heat water for tea and coffee in the morning, lol…


all set up, required groceries and drinks purchased, and we sat and had a lovely quiet time reading… bliss… 


sun was shining, screens and doors were open, and the kids went for a walk…

only downside, no showers or Internet… but the boys have found a spot that we can walk to and connect…

relaxing…

big girl pants, frog, garden, noisy, relaxing, siding, silence, sleep, sunshine, walk, widow

had a great sleep… yesterday my son-in-law fixed the flapping piece of siding on the house that has been loose for months…

  
it was amazing how noisy it was… the silence is lovely…

while they were cleaning out the pond, he discovered this little guy at the very bottom…

  
I am always excited when we come across critters in the garden… hope he hangs around for the summer…

  
spent the day reading and eating and napping after putting out all the cushions…  

  
moved from chair to lounger to chair throughout the day…

could have just vegged, but went for a walk in the sunshine while my dinner was cooking…

very relaxing day…

sunny…

this morning I couldn’t stop taking pictures as I waited for my ride…

  
sun shining on the trees to the left…

  
glittering off the chimney…

  
and making beautiful highlights on the trees to the right…

went for a walk at noon with a colleague and it was lovely out… by four didn’t even need a jacket on…

had an opportunity tonight to take a few shots of some cream roses…

 

creamy rose

 
and brought home this lovely basket of goodies from an event at DeLuca’s where I had an enjoyable chat with Tony… 

 

De Luca basket of goodies

 
can’t wait to try everything out… 

it was so warm that we didn’t need jackets when we left the event… the car said it was 16… what a gorgeous day…
