I’ve been going to physio for the last few weeks…

my knee issue was likely caused by a hip displacement situation, as one of my friends would say, lol…

today Val put heat on my hips and ice under my knee while I was waiting to see Michael… I had a lovely relaxing time before he arrived to work on me…

after he did a few checks on my legs and hips, he showed me a few exercises to follow… unless I have further issues I do not need to go back…

watching others come and go I was reminded of how truly lucky I am… as painful as it was, my knee/hip was only an issue for a few weeks… so many are dealing with ongoing problems that will not fix themselves, ever…

I am truly blessed and happy that I can recognize that…

been pondering how life can change in the blink of an eye…

there I was on Saturday, going for a walk, and then suddenly unable to walk…

luckily I am recovering very nicely, but spending five hours in the Emergency Room and having to use crutches for just three days has opened my eyes to difficulties that others face…

I expect a full recovery… I am now using a cane, but just for a short while, as my knee improves… and I’m able to take the time to recover properly…

of course I have to remember to take it slow and steady, lol…

walked over to get a trim at Ultracuts after the rain stopped yesterday… came out very nice…

on my walk back home I came across a group of bikers at the gas station… made me giggle to see one person checking out their cell phone as they waited for others to get gas…

I asked if I might take his photo and he said yes and posed, lol… then I asked if he would go back to looking at his phone, because that was the shot I wanted…

so far we’ve seen a fawn, frogs, geese and a pileated woodpecker… and we’ve only been here since noon;-)…

we’ve hiked around the campground and taken a few photos from the bridge that is usually in my pictures…

we’ve fished, or more precisely, practised casting, lol…

and are currently sitting around a campfire waiting for it to die down so we can cook hotdogs for our supper…

why is it that hotdogs taste so delicious when cooked over a fire…

pretty fine day considering we were led to believe it was going to rain all day…

this morning had a great walk to the Park…

on my way saw a bunny and a gaggle of geese… crossed the street so as not to disturb them… was a bit of a surprise to see them on a sidewalk, but maybe they were checking out the Little Library, lol…

crossing the walking bridge I spotted a brief of pelicans… I think there were nine in total and there was a cormorant with them… it was clearly preening time…

my camera battery quit midway through my walk so I took the rest of the photos with my iPhone… it always makes me giggle when it announces that it is exhausted, lol…

today I seemed to lean toward white…

although I did focus on a few frogs, lol…

a much less crowded visit than the one on Sunday… the one sad thing was that our bench was being watered so I couldn’t sit…

ended the visit checking out the ducks and geese at the Riley Family Duck Pond…

had a spur-of-the-moment walk and breakfast with a friend…

she texted me early to see if I wanted to go for a wander through the English and Leo Mol Gardens… of course I did;-)…

threw on my clothes, walked over and met her at the Park…

we had a lovely visit as we circled the Gardens being careful not to get sprinkled on as many sections and paths were getting misted, lol…

from there we moved over to the Park Cafe for a great breakfast…

and then we enjoyed a little retail therapy…

lovely treat to start the day…

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;-(…

today I had an eye appointment… good news is that my eyes are looking great… not so good news is that I probably need to consider new glasses… had to wait for a while to see my eye doctor…

spent a few minutes waiting by Sargent Sundae…

then met a friend and we went for lunch at the Park Café and a walk around the English Garden… it was overcast and a bit windy, but it was nice to be outdoors…

one of my favourite photos from our time in the Garden… I’m always looking for flowers and frogs in the ponds, lol…

first water lily of the season…

early this morning watered all the plants in the garden with a bucket… it meant that I got lots of steps in and did a bit of weight training, lol…

summer is nearly upon us…

so enjoy the time to wander around the space and enjoy the beauty…

morning is my best time… by the end of the day I am often just interested in vegging out in front of the tv…

got up early and went for a walk to the Park… temperature was going to 34° and will feel like 39° Celsius…

so an early walk seemed like a good plan, lol..

by the time I got home just before 10, it was already hot…

as I was walking down the next street, two bunnies froze in place as I was coming down the sidewalk… the yard they were in was filled with dandelions which they love…

they really think if they freeze the person walking along won’t see them, lol…

as soon as I passed them, they both hopped away…
