first thing I saw this morning was this stunning sky…

the colour in this picture is accurate… amazing… brought joy to my heart…

drove to the Formal Gardens at Assiniboine Park to walk and collect poke balls… one side of the garden was filled with parked cars…

there were tons of kids playing everywhere, but it took a while to figure out that an Ultimate tournament was going on… the other side of the Gardens didn’t have any cars, lol…

decided to walk the loop in the opposite direction than I usually do because so many cars were coming into the area…

it was chilly, but not too bad as long as I kept moving… and I had dressed warmly…

as I was taking pictures of the berries on this tree it occurred to me that a dear young friend and her daughters might be somewhere in the Park playing… they were and we found one another and had a visit while the girls played a game… got this shot of geese flying overhead during the game…

she said the sweetest thing when she introduced me to someone… she called me her mom of the heart…

it was a great treat to spend time with her and we stood for an hour or so and I didn’t feel too cold until I left and got back into the car when I realized how cold I was… 

after a few errands it took me quite a while and a few extra blankets to get warm again…

the kids came for dinner and the final surprise was my youngest grandson helping me download and play a new game and giving me a big hug as they were leaving…

day filled with special moments…
