went to PTE this afternoon… the play was thought-provoking and very well done…

walked home from Portage Avenue afterwards…

so many broken branches along the way…

that snowstorm really knocked around the trees and the city will be recovering for a long time…

the colours of the trees are so pretty right now…

one of the trees on my street has zero leaves on it now… many of the others are losing their leaves bit by bit…

it amazes me how all of a sudden they are all on the ground…

big girl pants, dropping seed, green, moments, research, stress, trees, walk, widow

saw the most interesting seeds on the ground as I was walking home tonight…

I think they were seeds… looking up the street portions of the sidewalk were green and I couldn’t figure out why…

when I got to those spots the cement was covered in what looked like tiny green leaves… I’ve never seen this before…

clearly it had to do with a particular type of tree, not sure what kind… did a little research but no particular tree jumped out at me…

I did read something about a response to stress causing a huge drop of seeds;-(…

I’ve been asked by a number of people to share my favourite thing about Maui…

so I’ve been thinking about it… and I can’t come up with just one thing…

over the last week I’ve printed a group of my favourite photos… and have been looking them over and remembering the particular moments each one represents…

there were so many special times… the ocean, the beaches, the rainbows, the trees, the turtles, the vegetation, the orchids, the flowers, snorkelling, the waterfalls, the food, the helicopter flight, the cacao trees, and on and on…

it really was two weeks of bliss;-)…

what a lovely start to the day, particularly as I was feeling a bit under the weather…

Spring flowers are blooming… even if they are in the house…

hoarfrost on the trees and I got a few pictures…

for the last few years a dear friend has come over to help me with the Christmas decorating…

I’ve always loved Christmas but since the loss of my beloved it has lost a bit of its lustre…

this year I’ve been working away on my own to decorate… I decided to try some different options… took me a few weeks but it is done now…

have put my tree collection in the dining room where my pottery usually lives… and even passed along some pieces, yay for me;-)…

put up a new tree with purple and silver decorations and hung up the glass balls on either side of the picture above the sofa…

put the snow people up the stairs…

got a garland going along the ledge in the dining room… final piece was to put the glittery trees on the fish tank…

still might have my friend come by to check it all out…

then going to go through the rest of the Christmas boxes and maybe pass some decorations along to others…

there are the reindeer, the snowflakes, the nativities, the angels, the santas…

beloved, big girl pants, drive, hand, hoarfrost, holding hands, memories, Park, remembering, trees, widow

found this photo on Facebook… happy that I get these reminders of wonderful memories…

it is from ten years ago and is one of the few pictures that I have of my beloved and I holding hands… it is lovely to see him and such a great reminder of a fun day…

one of the things I miss is having his hand to hold when out and about…

the beautiful trees after the snow this morning were another reminder…

brought back memories of the day before he died when we drove all around the Park so that I could get pictures of the trees covered in hoarfrost…

a few days ago when I was heading home from work I stopped and took some pictures of the piles of leaves in the parking lot…

as I walked through the backyard I took some shots of the leaves there too…

I haven’t been enjoying this Fall because it hasn’t been very Fall-like, sigh…

cold, snowy, overcast… what a drag…

but the leaves are incredible… even if they are all on the ground…

big girl pants, Buzz, Cirque du Soleil, corned beef hash, CTV Winnipeg Morning Show, family, Kraft dinner, lunch, popcorn, tickets, trees, widow, won

last week I won two tickets from the CTV Morning show to see Cirque du Soleil Crystal…

was very excited as I don’t often win things… picked them up and then checked to see if my daughter would like to go with me…

today we met for lunch at Brown’s Social House before the performance…

she ordered their corned beef hash… our neighbour, Buzz, made the world’s best hash and she has tried it many places but never found one as good as what he made… she’s pretty much given up trying but thought she’d give it one last shot…

we also talked about how Ellen, his wife, made the best Kraft Dinner… when I would make it they would always comment it was not as good as Auntie Ellen’s, lol…

the hash wasn’t bad, but not up to the Buzz standard…

we walked back to the car to leave the second half of my fish and chips before heading into BellMTS Place… had to save room for popcorn during the show…

loved the trees in the opening sequence…

it was interesting to watch the ushers ensure that no one was taking videos during the performance…
