Thursday I picked up the second flower bouquet from my Sweet Petals Farm subscription…

it is at the same place where I went last year…

unfortunately, it involves Kenaston Avenue, yikes… the construction that is going on will likely take place all summer, so I need to find the best method of getting there and back without being stuck in a very long parking lot…

most recently, I crossed Kenaston and travelled along Corydon to Moray and that worked well…

I think that will be the route for the next while…

yesterday I drove to and from work with a colleague…

carpooling is always more fun than driving on my own… I’ve carpooled with a number of people over the years… for years I rode with a good friend who worked close by… also with another colleague… and for many years my beloved drove me to and from work…

one of the best things is that I can take pictures, lol…

waited in the living room for my ride and got a photo of the very slow traffic on our way home…

at the end of the day I walked up the street in my heavy Canada Goose jacket, which kept me toasty warm… sadly the zipper on my usual Canada Goose jacket isn’t working properly so I’m wearing the heavier one…

looking forward to traveling with her tomorrow…

WE Day in Winnipeg… made for a lot of traffic around the office…

at one point in the afternoon the street was completely filled with school buses picking up sixteen thousand kids and taking them back to school… the logistics must be crazy… way to go…

when I got home I had a short rest and then made zucchini basil chicken soup for tomorrow’s Souper Thursday…

I really love my mandolin… it makes chopping the onion and zucchini quick and easy… this is the simplest soup to make and very tasty…

we all love the fact that on Thursday we only need to bring a little something to go with the soup that someone else is making…

another beautiful early morning drive… was rather surprised by the amount of traffic…

ended my day with the last of the Thanksgiving mashed potato and green beans, made into patties and shrimp…

in between I learned some very cool things regarding photos on my phone… been trying for ages to save slideshows on my phone… and today a colleague helped me figure it out… so exciting… I do love technology...

gotta go and play now;-)…

put on my boots this morning because there was snow…

wonderful to see the glistening snow all clean and bright on the ground… been missing it a bit, lol…

fun to make the footprints and then take their picture…

couldn’t believe the traffic… everyone was moving appropriately, but it was slow going…

had the all season tires on when I got to the office… they are so pretty…

but, when I headed for home, had snow tires…

they look much better with the fancy hubcaps on, although not as pretty as the all season ones, lol…

first thing this morning when I went out to the car it was dark…

  
really dark… it was extra early as we had an event first thing…

found the darkness a bit sad… a reminder that soon it will be cold and dark so much of the time…

  
the good part of it all was that the traffic was light, lol…

couldn’t tell what the weather was going to be like… did have the heat on in the car which was nice…

was thinking it was going to rain but it didn’t during the day…

on the drive home it was overcast and did spit a bit…

 the traffic was light again, as I got to leave early…

excellent start to my long Thanksgiving weekend…

yesterday…

yesterday the clouds were lovely throughout the whole day…

  
stopped at the end of the street on my way to work and got this picture…

  
had an opportunity, at a light, to shoot the sky toward downtown…

  
enjoyed the clouds reflected in one of the buildings on my arrival at the office…

  
view over the new police headquarters…

like the clouds particularly when there is still some blue sky visible, lol… 

and finally, on the drive home, got this picture of the church steeple and sky…

  
sadly I was in some dreadful traffic at the time and had ample opportunity to check out the sky…

not sure why I have been so struck by clouds recently, although we have certainly had more dull overcast days over the last few years… way more than we used to have…

maybe that is why I love the morning glories which look like they are lit with sunlight from within…

  

goodies…

had to take the car to work today so after I got off I decided to stop at the credit union to deposit a cheque and get some cash… traffic along Portage was brutal and I was worried I wasn’t going to make it before they closed at five, but I just snuck in under the wire…

next, went to Home Outfitters where I had a gift card from over a year ago… just found it last month… thought I would check out what type of goodies they had that I might need…

had a lovely wander around and chose a few fun things…

got a silicone oven mitt on sale, a new cookie sheet to replace one of the very stained and bent ones in the cupboard, a cute scarf hanger which might hold the scarves that are currently on three different hangers… and finally a purple mini food processor (on sale too)…

it was great fun…

had shrimp for dinner, went out for a hot tub and watched a bit of TV…

really needed to add some colour to my day so found this shot from the summer… I do love my morning glories…
