not quite sure what is going on but I am having trouble sleeping… this is unusual…

recently I’ve had a few nights with just over four hours of sleep… last night was one of them… not pleased about this and hope it settles down soon…

had breakfast in the garden and enjoyed the poppies that were blooming…

the sun was shining through the fence and trees and it was very peaceful… decided to eat outside to see if I could get into the planting mood, lol…

ran out and did errands… after I got home and had lunch I managed to do some planting… three pots done…

put one beside the pond… it has some moonflowers and pansies in it…

put the other two on the deck… one filled with morning glories and the other has a pepper, some cilantro and a few flowers… not sure that the alyssum I planted yesterday is going to make it… will have to wait and see… still have a few plants that need to be potted…

the fuschia and alyssum are doing very well beside the garage door… 

ordered in for dinner… was given a SkipTheDishes gift certificate a few weeks ago and had decided yesterday to order my favourite meal from Clay Oven, but had too many treats during the day, so decided on a simpler supper… 

all day I’ve been thinking about how delicious dinner was going to be and it was great fun to work until I was tired, knowing that it was looked after…

and it was delicious, as usual… savoured every mouthful… have the process down to a science now… when it arrives, I put the rice and potatoes away for a meal the next day and then enjoy the naan bread with the remaining meat, salad and side… today I was especially pleased that it came with palak paneer, one of my favourites…

sitting out by the pond as I write this…  quiet evening and the temperature is currently 25 Celsius, not crazy hot like yesterday…

the solar lights are winking on, one at a time as the sun goes down…

enjoying the moment… I continue to remind myself and take the time to savour what is going on around me at any given time…
