had a lovely pedicure on Thursday as one of the celebrations for my birthday…

a day early but, like many places, they were closed for Good Friday;-)…

Joy was gentle and did a wonderful job of holding my feet securely as she worked so I didn’t kick her at all… those sensitive feet, lol…

as a special treat, I had the paraffin treatment, which is always delightful…

and because I wore my flip flops, she put them on first and then put on the polish… very clever…

had lots of time to sit and let the polish dry before heading home…

and am very happy with the fresh toes on my already slightly tanned feed;-)…

my birthday week continued;-)…

went out for sushi on Wednesday and then took a drive to pick up a computer part for my grandson…

hadn’t had sushi for quite a while and the food was excellent… only had a few leftover rolls to bring home which is good because sometimes we order way too much, lol…

went to Shelmerdine with friends on Sunday…

after checking out all the plants, we sat in on a workshop about using all your outdoor space…

and I won a prize;-)… because it is almost my birthday… woohoo…

a rain gauge with solar flowers;-)…

lovely to be in a space filled with so much greenery…

and the flowers lit up after a sunny afternoon;-)… gotta find just the right spot for this in the garden…

got some lovely flowers on Tuesday…

had fun trimming and putting them into a couple of vases…

one went onto the living room table right by where I spend a good portion of the day…

the second went into the den so I can enjoy them while watching tv…

great way to start my birthday month, lol…

can’t think of the last time I had a pedicure so it was such a treat to have one on Tuesday afternoon…

surprisingly, my toes got painted purple, lol…

as always, my favourite portion of the experience is the foot and leg massage;-)…

and I am getting much better with having my feet touched, lol…

Monday was another delightful day at The Leaf…

our group went to view the Fleurs de Villes display after our birthday lunch at Gather…

as always, a walk through the Tropical Biome is rejuvenating…

we had such fun as each of us shared different points of interest as we wandered through the lush vegetation…

we visited the cacao trees, saw coffee beans, enjoyed new vistas of the fish, chatted about the banyan tree, spotted many heliconias, and got dripped on a few times, lol…

we moved on to the Mediterranean Biome for the Fleurs de Villes exhibition…

all of the mannequins (that represent the arts in the city) were very nicely done… we met two of the designers and spotted things we liked at every display… it was amazing to see the details that had been included…

after we’d been around once, most of us went around one more time, as we each made a decision on our favourite and filled out the ballot which we received as we entered the space…

the Fleurs de Villes exhibition is always stunning and such a delight to have had here two years in a row;-)…

one more visit to the exhibition in a few days…
