for Mother’s Day I got four beautiful hanging baskets;-)… so far they have been going into the garage on cooler nights…

two are purple and white petunias…

the other two have white petunias and (maybe) lantana in them…

it is lovely to have flowers all over the garden…

and the morning glories are popping up;-)…

the garden is beginning to holler spring…

we had another wonderful time at Lily Stone Cafe in Rosenort…

it was just over a year since we were last there, and it was as delightful as it had been previously…

once again, we had a room to ourselves…

we had a variety of teas and a tasty assortment of sandwiches and dainties…

my favourite savoury items were the the cucumber sandwiches and the quiche…

surprisingly, my favourite sweet was the decadent Kit Kat cheesecake, considering that I am not that fond of cheesecake, lol…

we were stuffed and happy when we left and weren’t rushed out the door, even though it was their closing time;-)…

the drive there and back was not too long and although it was overcast we only encountered a few drops of rain on our way home…

but, it still amazes me that there seems to be traffic everywhere and at all times these days, lol…

two lovely things today…

we went to Canadian Tire for a few things and when we got back to the car, we spotted these two cuties;-)…

reminded me of the two deer that walked down the street on Monday afternoon;-)…

and this was the sky tonight at 9:00 pm…

so exciting to have the light at this time of night….

nice treats…

this morning I had some fun with the bouquet I purchased last Wednesday for my birthday…

I divided it into five small containers…

they went into the bathroom, kitchen, den, and bedroom…

it is always such fun to be able to make new arrangements and then take photos of them;-)…

on Wednesday we went for a quick visit to Safeway to pick up a few items…

I got flowers and a plant with two types of hyacinth, tulips am daffodils…

seemed like a lovely birthday treat;-)…

and it was seniors’ day so the saving was the same amount as the bouquet…

that was a treat…

the few items did end up filling two bags, lol…

it appears that Thursday is our order-in/treat night…

sometimes it is frozen pizza, other times something gets picked up or ordered in;-)…

yesterday’s treat was wonton soup from Alfy’s…

it was tasty and I had leftovers for lunch today…

we also got some tempura shrimp and veggie spring rolls…

I like treat night;-)…

on Tuesday we made a trip to Costco for a few things, and came home with a birthday present for me…

I was treated to a very cool bird feeding station…

there were two tall feeders, plus a suet holder, with spots for two additional feeders…

it also has a baffle to keep the squirrels from getting up into the feeders… lol, we will see about that…

not sure the people who design these squirrel-free feeders have met Canadian squirrels…

today we put it together and went out to plant it in the front yard, at which point it started to rain… we made it in just before the deluge hit…

it was a bit crooked and not all the way into the ground, but when the sun came back out it got fixed and the filled feeders were added…

looks great;-)… what a lovely treat…

the bunnies have been out for a while…

the first one turned up on March 21st, with mini eggs alongside it…

since then every couple of days another bunny has joined the group…

in between, the mini eggs have come and gone, lol…

they are so cute…

and have certainly added a touch of fun to the space…

the final bunny turned up on Saturday to complete the colony;-)…

this morning the Happy Easter sign turned up with a few items for the other boys…

and I caught a photo of the Easter Bunny resting up in the garden after their busy night;-)…

bunnies everywhere…

so excited tonight when my grandson arrived with hot cross buns, which we have been looking for over the last week or so…

going to enjoy some of those for breakfast tomorrow;-)…

and he brought me tulips…

I filled five vases: one went downstairs in his space, one went into the den, one went into the living room and a final one for the bedroom…

what a lovely Easter treat…

went for a walk on Sunday morning… the front steps were covered with slippery ice pellets, so we walked carefully…

the temperature was around 0°C and it felt like -8°C… not bad and the wind was behind us as we walked towards Portage…

we arrived at the “A” and had a lovely breakfast…

it has been many months since I’ve been there and it was a nice treat…

breakfast here used to be one of our regular activities on the weekends… I would walk over and my beloved would drive… after breakfast we would head out in the car to do errands or take a drive…

it was nice to eat here this week as we come to the anniversary of his passing…

I sure do miss him…
