went for a walk the other morning and admired the gorgeous trees…
I’m not sure if it was hoarfrost, or rime, or something else, but it was beautiful…
the ones on my street were lovely;-)…
this one was clearly snow but beautiful nonetheless;-)…
and this morning there was more beauty…

had a lovely day with my buddies…
we spent time at WAG/Qaumajuq checking out the various galleries;-)… so much to see…
this piece of art was the only one I took a photo of, and apparently a bit crooked, lol…
from there we walked over to the White Star Diner for lunch… fun time and tasty food…
we do love celebrating birthdays😊…

walked over to a craft sale Sunday…
had fun picking up cards, a bookmark, a tray, an ornament, a travel mug, and some matcha tea…
most of it for me, but maybe a few items for Christmas;-)…

another lovely walk along the Harte Trail on Remembrance Day afternoon…
it felt like -4° Celsius and there was a bit of wind although the sun was shining brightly…
we walked a little bit past the distance we did last time…
we spotted two deer and watched them for a few minutes before they bounced along the ditch beside the path…
we were dressed for the cold and were very comfortable… then this person passed us;-)…
I guess different strokes for different folks…

it was a beautiful sunny day as we went for another walk along a different section of the Harte Trail the other day…
the sunshine was glorious and the path was dry…
this portion had a canopy so it felt as though we were walking in a bit of a tunnel… can’t wait to walk this one in the summer when the leaves are overhead…
beautiful trees and a lovely sky… an excellent way to get our exercise in when we can’t make it to the pool…
also tested out my new boots;-)…

went for a walk on the Harte Trail section of the Trans Canada Trail with my adventure buddy…
it was quite lovely, other than the puddles from the recent rain, lol…
we may have seen some cedar waxwings, although they were a long way off and high in a tree…
I am looking forward to going back in different seasons to see the changes…
we had a fun time;-)…

went to The Park Cafe and met up with two friends…
we had a lovely breakfast and then a couple of us took a quick walk through the English and Leo Mol Gardens…
it was cool out so we didn’t dawdle… still a few beautiful colours out there…
then I walked across the bridge to where I’d parked the car…

I have been so tempted to take the scissors to my hair for the last few days as I tried to find time for a haircut…
today I managed to fit the time in…
felt so much lighter after the cut…
the hairdresser took quite a bit off, so I shouldn’t have that urge for ages, lol…
on my way home I spotted this happy camper, even if they were stuck in the grass;-)…

had breakfast with my adventure buddy at the Park Cafe on Friday… I hadn’t been for awhile, but it was lovely to be recognized by the waitstaff…
enjoyed the classic eggs Benedict with tomatoes instead of hash browns…
then we had a short walk through the English Gardens and a quick look at the water lily pond in the Leo Mol Garden…
the flowers were stunning and we were drawn to all the beautiful dahlias and and roses…
as always the water lilies were blooming in the heated pond…
the frogs do enjoy the warm water, lol…
lovely time;-)…
