mentioned to someone the other day that I had gone downstairs to the living room to sit in the sun, but it wasn’t shining on the couch…

today I went down earlier expecting to see sun on my spot..

no such luck… apparently the sun doesn’t hit the living room at that angle at this time of the year, lol…

it shines on the other side of the room…

so while the sun was shining, I sat in the chair by the window and then in one of the black chairs…

the sun felt wonderful;-)…

a bit later I got this picture as it was going down…

so blessed to be able to see the movement of the sun at this time of year…

Monday I wandered around the living and dining rooms taking photos of the plants in the sunlight…

it was shining so beautifully on the jungle of plants that are filling the space… the furniture and even the purple snowflakes in the window were just beautiful;-)…

I’ve being paying close attention when it is shining to be sure to enjoy the light…

what a glorious time… sunshine is so energizing…

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 sun shone all day yesterday… what a treat as it has been overcast for days…

got a lovely shot of the little orchid amidst shadows at my desk…

and as I walked along the street on my way home I got a few shots of the bright light…

lots of Halloween decorations to see too…

I am over-the-moon with excitement…

some time ago I realized that I hadn’t planted any morning glories and was very sad because I really love the flowers… the inner light is mesmerizing…

recently I realized that some seeds from last summer had sprouted in a large container of soil that was sitting under the deck… they hadn’t had any water or sunlight but were growing…

I moved the pot out into the sun and made sure to put water in it… and watched it every day…

a week ago I saw what looked to be buds and I’ve examined them each day to see what would happen… since then we’ve had quite a bit of rain, overcast skies, and cooler temperatures, so I’ve been worried they wouldn’t bloom…

but… this is what happened…

I spent extra time in the garden today sitting and enjoying the purple flowers…

I am in my happy place… flowers really do make me happy;-)…

spent some time out in the garden watching for the baby fish which I spotted a few days ago… I saw at least two sizes, so am eager to see how many there are…

they move really quickly, so the chances of getting any shots of them is slim…

but I did get a few pictures of the rest of the fish sunning themselves…

I’ve also been taking photos daily of the water lily bud as it slowly grows toward the surface of the pond…

really hoping I get to see it bloom…

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…
